My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were basic but clean and great for a weekend getaway, suitable for accommodating three people comfortably. The service was very helpful and polite, although there were minor inaccuracies about the local trains. The location was convenient, near the underground and within walking distance of Tower Bridge and Liverpool Station, making it easy to explore London. The dining experience was a mix of positives and negatives, with some aspects disappointing for the price. The hotel facilities were sufficient for a comfortable stay.

The hotel has much better pressure in the rooms, though could have used a little more attention to detail as there was stuff on the bedding and the floors seemed not to be getting vacuumed. The room is quite small with not enough place to put your stuff, yet it was a reasonable size and well kitted out with everything required.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were secure with the desired facilities and surprisingly spacious by London standards, offering a partial view of the Gherkin. While the decor was nice, it did have a bit of a student-like vibe, but having a bath was a nice touch.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The location is fantastic, with a market, shops, and great eateries nearby.

The hotel was comfortable for me and my friend celebrating his 30th birthday, but it was very noisy at night and freezing cold due to a draft coming in from the window. The service was accommodating and the staff were polite and professional, making my stay pleasant. The location was perfect, right beside Aldgate East Tube station, although a bit off from the center. The dining experience was good overall, but a bit lacking in certain aspects.

The hotel's room was at the back of the hotel, which was great, and although the 'pod' like bathroom took a little getting used to, the rooms were adequate. However, there were no European electrical sockets and no fridge available. The service was exceptional with very friendly, patient, and helpful staff. The location was very convenient with the underground right at the corner of the street, making it easy to explore the City, but the area was a little rough. The dining experience was disappointing as it ended earlier than displayed, and the options were quite basic. The facilities were decent with dry cleaning, housekeeping, laundry services available.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable, meeting our basic needs, but the bathroom was too small for a hotel room. The decor didn't stand out, and the entrance could be quite noisy with the neighboring room activities. The service, however, was top-notch with exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. The location was convenient, especially with the underground station nearby, although some noise could be a downside. The dining experience left much to be desired, especially for the price paid. Overall, a decent stay with some areas that could be improved.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the balloon bursting in the stuffy room at night was unsettling. The service was friendly but a bit impersonal. The location had its perks, being close to the subway, but the area itself was a bit rowdy. The dining options were plentiful but fell short in quality given the price. However, the facilities overall were decent for the value.

Upon arrival, the room was cold as it lacked heating, but borrowing an electric heater solved the issue. The room was up to the standards of a nice new Ibis with a double bed and an additional bed, offering a comfortable stay. The service was exceptional, especially from the restaurant manager who kindly explained everything and even notified me when the room was ready before 11 am. The location was convenient, close to the underground and ideal for attending events like concerts at the London Stadium or exploring places like Brick Lane Market. Though the entrance through a smoking area was off-putting, the proximity to transportation was a plus. The dining experience had limited vegan options and a somewhat disorganized setup, but the breakfast selection was decent. Overall, the hotel provided a good value for the money with friendly and attentive staff, making the stay enjoyable.
