Our reservation said 2 king beds but we had 2 queen beds. There was no telephone in the room so you had to remember what you needed to ask when you went through the lobby. They did not keep to the cleaning schedule of every 3 days.

This place is amazing! Not only is it trendy, the staff is phenomenal, the room was spacious and clean with a huge bathroom, and great amenities. The staff advised us on transportation, restaurants in the vicinity, and made suggestions on things to see. They were kind and very helpful. The 5th floor lounge probably saved us $50 on coffees and water and juice. It’s open all day and night so you pop in and get what you need. There is beer and a wine bar you can use too! The only downside is the location isn’t close to many of the “London tourist sites:” The closest is probably the Tower of London and it’s an 18-minute walk/ But that’s where the tube, bus, or Ubers come in to play. Aldgate East underground tube stop is literally a 4-minute walk. We used a bus to get across town and an Uber to get to the airport. I would stay here again in a heartbeat)

We enjoyed the size of the rooms with kitchenette, sofa, nice bathroom and bedroom. We had a great view of the street below. Breakfast was good, but no hot choices other than a boiled egg. The area wasn't the best, but the underground was nearby so everything was acessible that way.

This place was generally a nice place and convenient and comfortable. We accidentally booked an accessible room and DO NOT book one of these! Bathroom completely floods ( entire floor) after 1 shower due to bad shower pan and slow drain. The front desk told us this is just to be expected and hotel was booked so we couldn’t switch rooms. Had to make a towel dam to keep the water from flooding.

After booking three rooms I got an email asking for £150 deposit for each and I was a bit concerned. I then got a check in email and it only worked for one of the rooms. I emailed the hotel via Expedia and asked if we would need entrance codes and would there be anyone there to take a deposit. I never received a reply. I was thinking oh no what have I done!!! However the place is close to the tube with a big reception / bar area and the chap who greeted us was incredibly helpful. The rooms were, whilst strange in their design very spacious and the bed and shower tip top. Breakfast was satisfactory and overall I found it a great stay. I will definitely book again next time in London.
