The staff was very friendly and helpful (everyone smiled!). the breakfast offered avocado and egg on toast, which i really enjoyed. the location is great. It sits right between whitechapel and brick lane.

The rooms are quite small. Maneuvering around the bed was a little difficult. the noise from the street was noticeable until late at night, and the soundproofing isn't the best.
