The location is great and that is mainly why we chose the place. However, the level of noise from the nightclub opposite is high. We stayed Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights and it was very noisy until 3 am.
The place was very functional - which I am more than happy with if everything works to an acceptable standard. The shower is very weak. The dryer was broken on the night we decided to do laundry. There was rubbish left in the lobby area for several days - which started to smell. On the checkout day, we were woken up by the cleaner knocking on the door at 7 am to see if we had left yet.
Overall, because the whole building (over 30 rooms) is being managed by Alex, it seems more like a hotel cash cow and there is no attention to detail in our individual stay. There were other places we stayed in East London for a similar price, location, and amenities.
