We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The rooms were modern, clean, and larger than expected. The bed was very comfortable, and the towels were changed daily. The hotel facilities were great, with a convenient bar and restaurant serving delicious food at reasonable prices. The staff were efficient, helpful, and couldn't do enough for us. The location in the East End was ideal, with nearby bus stops and tubes making it easy to access central London and the Olympic stadium. we were impressed with the cleanliness, hotel facilities, transportation options, and the helpfulness of the staff.
Can honestly say there wasn't anything not to like.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The cleanliness of the room and the entire hotel was impeccable, making me feel comfortable and at ease during my stay. The hotel facilities were modern and well-maintained, with a pleasant bar and cafe area that had a well-stocked bar. The staff were excellent in everything they did, providing friendly and efficient service. The location was convenient, with nearby bus stops and tube stations within walking distance, making it easy to explore the city. Additionally, the hotel was situated in an area that was outside of the tourist area, which gave me a more authentic experience. I stayed in this hotel for a friend's event, and it was perfect for that.

We found the in-house restaurant to have good food options, and the breakfast was also enjoyable. The staff were very friendly and efficient in their service.
