Brand new HI with excellent spacious, clean and well decorated rooms. Good staff and if it were in a different place would get 5 stars. We got a deal with Hotwire and paid about £80 per night without breakfast. A pretty good deal in London. Its 5 mins walk from Whitechapel tube station which means about a 30 min journey... More

Judging from the reviews on here, it's only been open a few months, and parts of the hotel still smell 'new'. Booked via lastminute.com's Secret Squirrel deal (they don't tell you the name of the hotel till you've booked it) and paid £77, which is around half the rack rate. Brisk check-in, and was in my room in moments. Decent... More

The staff was very accommodating and personable. We booked very late and on the same weekend as the London Marathon but the accommodations were still clean and spacious. The hotel is not in a tourist location so it made it difficult to travel into Central London to see sights and friends. Closest tube stations are Whitechapel and Aldgate East and... More
