: A lovely, spacious, tastefully decorated flat with a large terrace, which we were able to make good use of in the evenings thanks to the lovely weather. Everything we needed was provided and we felt very much at home here. The bed was very comfortable. The management always replied straight away whenever I had a question. The location was ideal for us, just a few minutes’ walk from Shadwell station. I’d love to stay here again when I visit London.
The railway line runs right next door and, naturally, you can hear the trains. However, we quickly got used to it and it hardly bothered us after that. The lift was out of order, but they made every effort to get it repaired quickly. In the end, though, I preferred to walk up the three floors, as the repair work on the electrical system and corridor doors continued throughout our stay and wasn’t exactly quiet. As we were out and about a lot, it didn’t bother us too much. But in the mornings it was a nuisance. And what’s really not great is that you have to collect and return your key from the New Road Hotel, which is a 10-minute walk from the flat. Unfortunately, it’s not as conveniently located as the flat itself. Nor is it in a particularly nice area. As we were there during the big heatwave, this walk with our luggage (in the wrong direction for us) was very annoying and cost us time.
