Perfect location 20 minutes walk from the Tower of London and 10 minutes from the nearest station (Shadwell). Sainsbury Local just around the corner and Tesco Express 5 minutes away. Clean and tidy and good facilities. It could do with some curtains in the lounge and some lamp shades. One missing item. A tea towel for drying cups etc. Towels are supplied. Why not a Tea Towel? We would definitely stay here again.

Definitely not Aldgate

I was nervous staying here after reading some of the reviews but I was happy to report no issues with staying, good communication, easy access to the property and a comfortable night. Property has great transport links, close to a bus stop and walking distance to Shadwell DLR & Overground. Would happily stay again

Overall was a great stay

Our stay was lovely apart from the bed was too soft so it wasn’t very comfortable to sleep on with my arthritis. Also the fire alarm waking us up very early (just before 8am) and was in the street cold for nearly an hour as the fire brigade could not stop it as no instructions were in the building for zones and they were failing to reach buildings manager. That was not a nice experience to the end of our stay especially as we have had to rush to catch our train home.

Really bad experience with this brand, their customer service is horrendous. Firstly they dont reply on their chat and when finally connected their staff feel they are doing a favour on you. I paid for a early check in, and it was rejected because the incompetent staff couldn’t connect with the cleaning team to see if the room is ready, and hence we had to wait in the cold since they want let you in. The lift doesn’t work, which they should compensate or let people know, the bathroom is in a filthy state, they charge a hefty cleaning fee but still expect you to clean and dump the garbage. There is no luggage space, so if you decide to leave your bags, you have to pay to a near by locker, and it’s right its a pure fraud apartment who are there to steal peoples money, will take the deposit immediately too but wont be returned upon check out but only after a week if you are lucky. AVOID IT AT ALL COST.

Would book again as last resort if no where else

The apartment was in good condition. However, TV viewing was disrupted, the remote control battery was not working, and the sofa was too small, uncomfortable, and too low. There is no TV in the bedroom, curtains are needed for privacy in the living room, and milk or basic food is unavailable for guests arriving late. Large deposit requirements are not made obvious until you've paid, and there is a complex process where all guest details and proofs have to be sent. This is feasible if it’s a holiday stay, but it is not convenient for others. WiFi access was not easy to spot. It is not clear when I will get the deposit back, either.

Apartment was nice and clean. But I was made to jump through hoops before I could gain access to the room. I filled all the details before hand but they still refused to let me in. They apparently rang me and ehn I tried to ring back. The line was not responsive a I got to the property and they made me wait for close to an hour outside while asking me weird questions like “how many bags are you carrrying?” Or “how many people are staying with you?”(a question I had answered at least THREE times prior) I protested this constant question and their response was “I can ask as many times as I want” - very rude. Did I mention I was on the phone to them and the line would cut and they wouldn’t ring me back? I would have to ring them back myself. Probably the weirdest thing I got asked to do was to stand beside a black car so that a security guard would come locate me which was a lie as no guard came. They just wanted to have a look at me in their CCTV. The room is nice but not sure it’s worth the hassle.

The check-in process was effortless and communication was timely. These were two areas that previous guests seemingly rated this location poorly on. The Guest Portal communicated everything quite clearly and messages were responded to quickly. There was a slight problem that the Guest Portal kept asking about a third guest when I had only registered for two. I kept deleting it, but then would get an email requesting information about a third guest. An agent reached out to me via phone to ask about it and it was easily cleared up. The entry way was very welcoming. Keys were easily accessed to gain entry to our unit. I would have given this location an excellent, but there could be a few things improved. Heating the unit was a slight problem but not so insurmountable that we were uncomfortable. There were a couple of loose floorboards that should be replaced immediately in the hall and bedroom. Lastly, my mate and I received bug bites and identified that there must have been fleas or some other type of pest on the small sofa in the living room. He fell asleep there and woke up with multiple raised bumps all over his body. I only suffered a couple of bites on my hand. Most importantly my deposit, in full, was returned to me in a timely manner. All-in-all this is a location I could possible stay at again. I would love to have been on a higher floor.

Overprices, book if u really have to

The bathroom looks nice but nit functional. After taking the shower the whole bath floor is wet. The overall apartment is ok, but overpriced. The worst thing experienced there was the feeling that they just want to take my money. The messages received after paying are nothing but warnings how they will take my deposit (I felt like I am going to prison of some kind). I got very bad feeling receiving that kind of messages. Instead they could provide the extender for EU or US plug in (which would cost them 10e and they would win the clients over) They are however responsive and helpful.
