Great Central London stay

The overall stay was good; the television reception needs improving - channels were scrambling all the time. The location was greet; near 3 major tubes that connected to all major lines; bus transportation was right out the door and the area was hospitable and inviting. Close to a variety of eating establishment, and the neighborhood was walkable.

I always look for good reviews before booking and Aptel East lived up to its well deserved high score. Lovely staff at reception. Beautifully presented and clean room and en-suite with toiletries and nice towels. Whitechapel station and bus stops close by. We were attending a conference at St Mary's so it was ideal for us. This is a multi-cultural area and it was nice NOT to be faced with the usual chains of retailers. Would definitely return and highly recommend to others.

The staff were wonderful—very friendly and helpful. The room was exceptionally clean, and the entire place was quiet and well-maintained. The surrounding area is filled with restaurants and supermarkets, and public transportation (buses and trains) is just a short walk away. For Muslim travelers, there's a large and beautiful mosque only five minutes away on foot.
