shoreditch stay, genuinely good

convenient transportation frequent bus quiet room fun decor

i found convenient transportation options nearby. buses run frequently right outside. it's also a short walk to the overground train. plus, the rooms were quiet at night. the hotel's fun decor added to its charm.

The air conditioning struggled to keep the room cool enough. Even at the lowest setting, it felt a little warm.

thin walls slamming doors

Location had bus stops conveniently located for transportation, I must admit.

My room faced Hackney Road. It proved far from quiet. Sleep evaded me thanks to thin walls and inconsiderate neighbors. Doors slamming shut echoed endlessly. Earplugs became my meager defense against constant disturbances.

Solid choice for East End stay

room size tea facilities bus stop local vibe

I liked room size. Coffee and tea facilities existed. Bus stops are on each side of the road for quick transport. I was away from the maddening tourist rush, and that provides a nice, local vibe. I stayed in several different hotels this month, and this was the best.

I went to have dinner. The waitress approached, but did not greet me. She vaguely pointed to a sitting area. After 10 minutes, I left.

Facilities

The hotel features a restaurant. It is open all day. Many shops, a market, cafes, and brunch spots are very close. The overground is 100 meters away, and the bus stop is directly across the street.

Service

Front desk staff were helpful. One staff member, Isabela, gave fantastic service. The staff accommodated my early check in. They were able to store luggage as needed, which I did appreciate after my long flight.

The hotel is close to Broadway Market. Victoria Park is nearby. The new Young V&A museum is in the area. The Cambridge Heath bus stop and tube station are also nearby.

I adored the unusual decor, especially in the communal areas like the restaurant! and bar. The room was super clean, and all the staff were lovely and helpful. I appreciated how close the hotel is to transport. The bus to downtown is very close

The EDM music in the lobby went on quite late. It could be heard from my fourth-floor room.
