The location was acceptable as it was close to many places I wanted to visit.

My room was not as described I found the wardrobe would not close properly. The light inside kept turning on because of motion sensors every time I moved in bed. A manager suggested I leave and go home free of charge since the wardrobe could not be fixed immediately that night.

The location was convenient. Aldgate station was very close. I appreciated the helpful staff who were always available. The room was clean. I found fresh towels daily.

The air conditioning made a strange noise at night and was difficult to regulate. The room was smaller than I expected and felt a bit cramped. The minibar prices seemed quite high. I chose not to use it.

the hotel is home to a bar it meant we had to deal with the unpleasant hostess for it. the door to the hotel was wide open she closed it as we entered. the bathroom is nice, but the 'wall' separating it from the bedroom is see through when the bathroom light is on.
