I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location was perfect with easy access to restaurants and a quick ride to downtown London. The rooms were well-equipped and a good size, though not reset like traditional hotels. The dining experience was a mix of excellent room service breakfast and some overpriced options. The hotel's communal area was lovely, and the proximity to popular landmarks like Tower Bridge and Shoreditch made it even better.

The hotel's location is perfect for exploring London, being very central and close to a tube station. While the rooms were spacious and clean, they had a tight kitchenette layout that made maneuvering around the bed a bit challenging. The service was excellent with a nice welcome drink, but the dining experience, though offering Spanish food, had some cold dishes and room service was not great.
