The rooms ARE small, but they are comfy, VERY well equipped, clean, and the location can't be beat! The bed is especially comfortable and the shower is amazing. We do wish we were able to adjust the air con on our own, but we were there during a heat wave. We would definitely stay there again.

Room was spotless, and pretty aesthetic, but not the most space efficient. Feels smaller than 16sqm due to the layout. Good location very near the tube station
there was only one towel in the room when we arrived, we asked for one more, but none was given in the 3 nights we were there. We asked for the bin to be emptied but it was never emptied as well

The property is modern and well-maintained, with cozy and functional spaces. Although the room is not very large, it’s extremely practical: it includes a small kitchen, a convenient desk, and a modern, clean bathroom. The bed is very comfortable and offers a lovely view of the city skyline, which makes the stay even more enjoyable.
Wi-Fi is included in the price and works well. At the reception area, guests can purchase items such as water and snacks — a convenient and thoughtful service.
The location is excellent: there are several restaurants nearby, and Tower Bridge can be reached with a pleasant 15-minute walk. The property is also well connected by public transport, just a 5-minute walk from Aldgate East station.
Overall, a pleasant and comfortable stay — perfect for those looking for functionality, comfort, and a strategic location in the heart of London.
