A boutique aparthotel with all the basic amenities decorated in a modern and stylish way. The hotel hosts a beautifully designed restaurant (Treves & Hyde), coffee bar and gym. The room had everything one would need - a welcome kit, an equipped kitchenette, TV with Netflix, linen, towels etc.
Leman Locke's biggest win is its location - close to Aldgate East tube station, variety of coffee shops and restaurants in the neighborhood. However, outside of this, I wasn't pleased with my stay here - for an AirBnB Plus, I hoped to have had a better experience.
I'm willing to overlook the fact that the host wasn't as responsive, I tried calling the hotel multiple times before my trip but no one answered the phone and it took the staff 2 days to get back to a simple question.
I arrived for check-in around 11pm and couldn't enter the hotel as the check-in staff was preoccupied on their phone and ignored that there were four people waiting outside to enter. Rang the bell, knocked on the glass walls, just waited for them to look up- nothing worked till someone staying at the hotel actually let us into the building.
The biggest disappointment was the room, it was not the high rise studio as pictured in the listing, instead the one I was given looked smaller and looked into apartments of two other buildings. I do expect that to happen in any hotel, but if I am booking through AirBnB Plus - I really do expect the place to look exactly like it is in the pictures. I didn't think this stay was worth the money, sadly, I won't be coming back here.
