the breakfast buffet had such variety! the food was yummy too. the rooms were totally amazing. the hotel restaurant's lunch and dinner menu was also super affordable!!
Check-in wasn't smooth, so irritating! they didn't give my sister keys since the room was booked under my name. this was even though the reservation was paid for. Kitchen staff was lovely but i thought the front desk were not as friendly.

The staff was very friendly (i especially appreciated their kindness). The breakfast had amazing variety and good food. I appreciated the clean rooms and the modern design. I also liked the short walk to the city, made business trips very convenient.
I found the location slightly misleading. I expected to be closer to whitechapel.

The breakfast included classic English options, along with fruit like apples and melons. Guests could make pancakes using a designated machine, a very fun feature. A menu also offered hot chocolate and omelets, for example.
