The room was well presented and clean with a functioning shower and toilet. Everything seemed fine until having a shower. From this point forward there was a constant pulsating sound from the vibrating pipes. Slowly this went away but again started around 1am and continued throughout the night. Room 615!!!

Excellent value for the money I paid. My colleague didn't appear to have as good a room as I had but again he thought it was good value. Very clean and friendly, one stop from Liverpool St Station so very central as well.

Booked 3 rooms. One room was on the 5th floor at the back of the hotel. The room was quiet and also reasonably modern though blinds were broken which meant morning sum woke me up. The other 2 rooms we booked were on the first floor at the front of the hotel. Decor was from the 1970's and needed a refurb. The proximity to the street meant a lot of noise whilst the party in the adjoining room meant very little sleep for two of my group. What's the use of a hotel if you can't get any sleep.

The hotel was comfortable and clean, probably due to the recent refurbishment. The staff were pleasant and helpfull. Although we didnt try the restaurant, it looked modern and clean. The bar was modern and the staff were helpfull and attentive. The breakfast was a buffet and was excellent. Brick lane is worth a visit and is right outside the hotel with a host of good Asian eating places and shops.

A great location, very modern, clean hotel but.. I thought £75 for one night not including breakfast was a bit steep, and it was not specified in the Late Room booking information that breakfast was not included in the price and would have added an additional £12.. So it was the cafe next door for a coffee and croissant. As other reviewers have stated the soundproofing leaves a lot to be desired, you can hear your neighbours, televisions and other sounds ;) through the walls into the small hours - get some earplugs if you need a good sleep! I would also recommend asking for a room at the back away from the front, as it gets VERY noisy street side with partying folk, especially at the weekend.

Hotel is in a great location for my purposes. Absolutely top class bathroom - better than any hotel I've stayed in; however bedding was questionable with the odd dirty mark and fag burn! Would definitely go back though as room was really big and had a fridge which was handy. TV good too with all the freeview channels.

Have stayed before as I like the East-End and am interested in the history of the area so I knew what to expect. Clean rooms, and staff are very nice. If you like fancy shops and expensive restaurants then probably not for you (but tube station very close by so all of London is easily accessible). If you like a few pints and a curry then this hotel is ideal though.
