was really happy with my stay overall. looking on Kip's actual website they were pricing this room at almost £200.... we paid £90 which was amazing, for a hotel in London.
location was spot on - we had a party in Hackney, so being a 10min walk away was more than a blessing.
its really straightforward to find the hotel, which uses the same entrance as the Travelodge.
Staff were really friendly and checked us in with no problem. to be honest we only really used the room to get ready and sleep, so can't comment on how things are generally through the day.
The room was really clean and had a fresh feel to it. the monochrome was a nice change - I wouldn't say it was luxury, which is what I might expect for £200+ per night but the amount we paid made this really good value for money.
our room literally backed onto Hackney Central Station but you would've never known... I didn't hear a single train go past, the sound proofing seems really good.
Overall we have zero complaints and would definitely stay here again. the location is perfect for what we needed.
