    The location of this hotel is fantastic, being quite close to everything you need but outside of the typical tourist areas. You can easily take your bike and explore the hidden gems of the Whitechapel neighborhood, which is extremely close...

    Staff were nice, rooms were quaint and clean, very quiet even though on a main road

    Mini fridge in the bedroom makes an annoying noise and lights up the room at night

    The hotel itself was modern, new and warm. Although the beds were a bit small the room facilities were good.

    My main reason for marking down the hotel is the restaurant located within it, the Sahara Grill. Firstly, I didn't rate the food however more importantly as I was tucking into my chicken a little mouse ran over my foot. When I told the staff there response was to ask me if I wanted to move seats and try and lock the mouse in a store room and carry on as normal.

    We were both very happy with everything in the hotel, we hope to return next year. Lovely restaurant was part of the hotel, food lovely.

    The area space of the bedroom was tiny, but everything in the room was comfortable, ok for one night stay, considering the cost of hotels in London it was very good value.

    It was just a balanced option for a brief pause in London with fantastic value. The staff were friendly and very helpful . Consider taking an Uber at night for safety.

    Modern with lovely room and shower room.

    The room was a bit hot and breakfast is not included in the price. Bedside light didn't work. It took a very long time to be booked in, although previously booked and paid for.

    I loved being just a short walk from St Paul's Cathedral and the Tower of London, made my city strolls good and easy to plan. The air conditioning in my room also worked great, keeping me comfortable after long days of exploring.
