Modern building, well appointed room, friendly and efficient service from front desk. Convenient to a bus stop. Only downside was AC didn't work consistently, and there was a very hot day.

Hotel staff were friendly and timely responded to our request (eg getting extra blankets). The hotel room was quiet and dark which is essential for a good night sleep. The hotel was located somewhere between two tube station and subway lines that requires a bit of walk (within 5-10 mins). There are supermarkets nearby for essentials. Overall good experience.

The staff were wonderful—very friendly and helpful. The room was exceptionally clean, and the entire place was quiet and well-maintained. The surrounding area is filled with restaurants and supermarkets, and public transportation (buses and trains) is just a short walk away. For Muslim travelers, there's a large and beautiful mosque only five minutes away on foot.

Affordable option near the city

Affordable aparthotel within 20 mins walk of the city and close to lots of good stuff in east London. The room was spotless and felt relatively new. The staff were friendly and helpful. The shower wasn't amazing but it was hot. All in all, can't complain

The room and facilities in the room were great, clean and in great condition. Not far from Shoreditch and Central London by bus or car. The area is abit run down compared to other surrounding areas but as the property is a great and close to other good areas I wouldnt let that deter you.

Staff are extremely polite, easy check in, my room was very clean and modern. It was a lovely stay even though I was only there for a night! Their Expedia messages were not working so I ended up ringing them for the check in link and they picked up straight away to help. The area isn’t the best but not terrible. It was a 10 min walk to the nearest tube station with easy access to bus stops as well. Thank you for having me :)

Very clean and well appointed property, reasonable sized rooms, and attentive staff. Self-catering, so don't expect full hotel service. There will be people who are put off by the area. I know the East End so I wasn't, and I appreciate the easy connections to the City and elsewhere. I you want to stay in a glamorous part of London, this isn't for you, but as a convenient and pleasant place to stay at a reasonable price, this fits the bill.

Hotel is not in the cleanest area, but it has its vibe and I actually liked that. There is shop nearby, a lot of restaurants and places where you can eat nice breakfast. Easy to get with metro or bus. Check in was very easy, reception is 24/7 available, towels in the room, we had a really nice view from top floor, with really nice vibe. Fridge is in the room, shower, toilet. Pillows could be a little bit bigger. Personel is really helpful and friendly. Most important, everything was clean, 10/10!
