“I appreciate this hotel's commitment to sustainability, along with its innovative pod-style rooms; the location is also a real plus, just a short walk from Aldgate East Tube station. The self-check-in is convenient, but I think they should put more effort into the actual rooms' cleanliness. Overall, a solid choice for those seeking a modern, eco-conscious stay in a lively part of London.”
