The staff is really friendly and the price was cheap. Depending on a room location it might get loud at night with traffic outside a window and very thin walls and ceiling. It's good for a short stay

Good value
Lovely stay. Got a nice room with balcony on the 4th floor and views over London. The staff was friendly. I would recommend this place for staying a few days. It's located close to Stepney Green tube station and there are a few nice restaurants nearby as well as a couple of supermarkets (Sainsbury's and Tesco). I think this place offers good value for money.

We stayed here qhile coming to a concert so needed somewhere just to leave our belongings and sleeo for the night. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and had a 24 hour call service if there were any problems. Was about a 5 minute walk to the closet train station, tube station and bus stop so very easy to comunte anywhere. Will most definitely be staying here again :)

I love staying here for my two weeks day. It felt like home the staff was very friendly. It was very convenient and it had a lot of shops and places to eat nearby, and it was close to the train station that led directly to the city less than 20 minutes one thing I didn’t like was the fact that it was nonrefundable I understand that it could be not be refundable up to one day, but I booked 12 days and they didn’t want to refund the rest of the trip because initially I wanted to stay closer to city. But it was worth it at the end. The hotel should relook into its refund policy

My girlfriend and I visited this hotel just for a place to stay overnight after we had watched the cigarettes after sex concert, We arrived over an hour and a half early, in which case we contacted the location to see about checking in early, when we arrived, we were immediately greeted to a warm welcome.
We were asked to stay in the lobby just whilst they checked if our rooms coudl be situated for the early checking, during this time we sat and stayed in the chairs in the lobby. It is a small lobby but is quite cozy.
Once the staff were back, they allowed us to check in early, they didn’t even charge us an early checking fee. We spoke in the elevator to a member of staff, who asked us how our travels had been and what brought us to london.
After this we were brought to our room, it was a nice cozy room, featuring a television, wardrobe, table and chair and a nightstand by the double bed.
There were free complimentary tea and coffees, including biscuits.
The room was a very nice room overall, The only concerns being that there were no plug sockets near the bed, which isn’t a deal breaker but means to charge your phone you either need a long cable or to leave it on the floor.
The two other concerns were a hole in the wall, which i suspect was caused by a previous guest, and the lock to the door being very inconvenient, as the lock would get stuck so you would have to apply some force to the door to lock it. Aside from these things, i think the room was great!

Good location but very basic hotel
Cheap & good location for gig at Olympic Stadium. Very basic & room was very hot so could have done with a fan or something. But ideal & good price for a one night stay.
