You get what you pay for. The room I had, no. 2 is at the top of the house and is huge. The double bed is very comfortable and the room had a tv which I didn't expect. The room was also nice and warm so was a good place to stay on a cold winter's day. The only issue was that the room hadn't been properly cleaned up after the last guest, which made me wonder about how clean the rest of the room was. It is ideally placed for Brick Lane - its about a minute away from the Northern End, a 5 min walk to Box Park Shoreditch and 10-15 min walk to Liverpool St. There are plenty of coffee shops, curry houses and pubs in the area so you won't starve. The owner also provided some crockery and cutlery which was a good thing to have. It was ideal for my needs but very basic.
The plus points - cheap, convenient, warm, well decorated, decent bed.
The negative points - The room hadn't been properly cleaned, my room was at the top of the house. The loo is down on the 1st floor and about 5 flights of step stairs. Not ideal if you have mobility issues.
Overall, if you need somewhere to stay in Brick Lane and don't want to spend much cash. Stay here.
