The location, staff and lobby area of the hotel are all wonderful. Lots of great restaurants within a 2-5 minute walk. Lots of bus stations and Shoreditch High Steeet stop very close by. TV channels were such an awesome bonus, lots to choose from. Rooms are very spacious which is really nice.
My issues with the hotel were more about my room. I stayed in the back of the hotel hoping it would be quiet, and I was constantly woken up by the service doors by my room at all hours; it was incredibly frustrating. I also had several days where my room would smell of rotten eggs from time to time and I couldn’t place if it was from the hallway or the bathroom; I didn’t have any food in the room either. My bed was quite firm and I like a softer bed; but that’s ok - can’t win ‘em all.
Overall, I think it’s a good hotel for the price but with a few minor downsides.
