Very nice property, great views, quiet, comfortable, staff were also friendly. Not a huge fan of the nearby area, but it’s very easy to get everywhere. I would stay again.
So nice to have extra space and facilities over a normal hotel. Great gym, comfy beds and the rooms come with iron, hairdryer and a nice big bottle of cold water in the fridge. I tell all of my colleagues about it.

Check in process was regrettably difficult and unnecessarily which was all we needed after a 15hr flight.
Other than that the apartment was great and hotel was in a great location.

Clean very friendly staff - breakfast was a bit chaotic and they ran completely out of food so there was nothing left to eat - but it was comfortable and close to the underground and store for supplies
Staff, in particular Samina who facilitated check in and check Saikot who helped with using the washing machine were responsive and a pleasure to deal with.

Check in process was smooth and quick. Staff was friendly and gave us tips for navigating the area. Breakfast was good, fresh, and had gluten free options. Linens on bed for original room were dirty, but staff corrected promptly with room change and apology for the inconvenience.

Room spotless.
Great location
Very friendly staff.
Will 100%stay again
Excellent apartment hotel style living.
Very quiet as I was on a high floor. Clean facilities and good devices to use.
Water pressure was good, free sparkling water.
I had to check out early staying only one night but I enjoyed my stay and will definitely stay again.
One advice for the building manager is to check the temperature setting dials as they’re a bit tricky to adjust and the room was quite stuffy.

This hotel is lovely. In a really convenient location, out of the way enough to feel quiet, but only a 5 minute walk to tube. Staff are friendly, breakfast was decent, room was lovely and had great views.
Friendly check in. Quiet clean room, comfy bed, nice shower. Complimentary water in fridge and kettle and nespresso machine. Small kitchen area with sink and combi oven/ microwave .Good quality glassware and crockery. Nice breakfast in 5th floor lounge area. Easy walk to Aldgate East tube.

Super clean, really well appointed rooms. They’ve taken so many considerations about what travellers really need. Lots of storage, utensils/cutlery/mugs etc, everything you need really. And the beds are fantastic!
