Location is excellent: Tower Hamlets (Whitechapel) is a busy district of London with plenty of small cafés, restaurants, and shops in the vicinity (less than 5 minutes to the next Tesco Express e.g.). Aldgate East tube station (District, Hammersmith & City lines) is just 5 minutes from the accommodation. For people interested in the arts, you'll find Whitechapel Gallery also very close by. Another good place for street food is the "Old Spitalfields Market", which is just a short walk away, too. Communication with the hotel via *********** was excellent, the check-in easy and free of problems. The entry to the hotel is just a single BROWN door between two shops. Easy to miss when walking by, but Google Maps will get you to the right place. I was greeted at the reception at noon and could check in an hour early. The person who checked me in guided me to the room and told me the location of the various shared bathrooms (two on either side). You'll get a sensor key for the main door and a code for the room. The room itself was as I expected: The hotel photos must have been taken a while back, though. The room was large enough, the furnishings very basic (steel wardrobe and desk), but the room was clean. The floors are a bit on the tawdry side, but that was no surprise to me - and far from the worst I've seen during my many trips to London. Solid basic budget accommodation if all you need is a hub for your London adventures. Free wifi is included, and the bathrooms were all clean and modern. Shower pressure was better than I had expected. There is NO room service included, but I didn't need one for the four nights I had booked. I wouldn't recommend it for longer stays, but if you keep your expectations in check you won't be disappointed. For breakfast I'd recommend the small Dauns Scandinavian Café on the same street.
