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.

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.

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 :)

The rooms are small, the internet is shocking, Tv doesn't work. The floorboards are so loud that anytime anybody moves you can hear it, the walls are paper thin. No sinks for water. Would not stay again.

Wish I could have given a better review. We messaged the property we would be arriving late. The night time receptionist should have met us at the door but no one was there. It’s cold in London and thankfully one of the guests let us into the building around 1am. We called and messaged for about an hour until someone finally came. While we waited we began looking for other last minute hotels or being forced to sleep in the lobby. While waiting for the reception inside the lobby someone barged through the door (not a guest of the location) also looking for a room then left. Not the best security system, the room is average, the street noise is loud and we will not be back.

Nicht zu empfehlen. Wände waren dünn wie Papier, sodass man sogar die Nachbarn vom Ende des Flures aus dem Zimmer hören konnte. Gemeinschaftsbadezimmer wurde nicht regelmäßig gereinigt und sehr unhygienisch benutzt. Rezeption nicht 24/7 wie versprochen erreichbar und nur tagsüber vor Ort gewesen. Türen waren nicht komplett zum Boden und nicht so stabil gewesen. Allerdings war das Hotel relativ zentral und war mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln gut zu erreichen. ——— Not recommended. Walls were paper thin, so you could even hear the neighbors at the end of the hall from the room. Shared bathrooms were not cleaned regularly and were used very unhygienically. Reception was not available 24/7 as promised and was only on site during the day. Doors did not close completely to the floor and were not very stable. However, the hotel was relatively central and was easy to reach by public transport.
