Loved the area near Brick Lane. Tons of food options. So close to major tube lines, easy access to Heathrow on Elizabeth Line close by. The staff were super helpful. We forgot to bring an adapter for our devices and they gave us one to use for our stay. Staff were helpful with providing ice when needed at the bar. Very safe and secure location with lots to do close by.

The room, staff, breakfast, lounge and overall amenities were all excellent. The location could be better either. I visit London semi-regulary and know the lodging options very well. This particular apart-hotel is amongst the best I've experienced and it's my new first choice to look up whenever I expect to be back in The City.
