"Really clean and beautiful aesthetic with spacious room (studio) that was well equipped. Only criticism is regarding the TV not only did it not work but it wasn’t smart which felt slightly outdated within the overall quality of the place. Check-in was easy with friendly staff who were informative and professional. Location of the property was great with close walks to Tower Bridge/ Aldgate/ Whitechapel/ Wapping. "
