Short stay in the capital.

Ideal place for a short stopover in the city, close to Aldgate East tube station a not far from Brick Lane and Spittle Fields Market. Clean, basic room with cooking facilities and fridge.

Un très bon séjour

Il s'agit en fait de résidences étudiantes, particulièrement propres et bien équipées. Le personnel est très chaleureux, accueil parfait. Les chambres sont des studios équipés avec tout le nécessaire pour passer un bon séjour. Les serviettes sont fournies. Le lit est petit pour deux (120x190) mais suffit pour les 5 jours que nous avons passé sur place. Le lieu est confortable et permet de tout avoir pour un prix correcte, difficile à trouver sur Londres !

Fine

The apartments are fine for a couple of nights. The reception are nice and the security good. It is really studenthousing and they just rent some of the rooms out as a hotel, so the rooms are very clinical. You get towels, but there is no soap or anything else at the rooms. The beds are pretty small, but the apartments are light and comes with a good view.

Perfect for a cheap night in London

Comfortable with enough space and great views over London. If you don't mind having no TV and understand that this is student accomodation then absolutely no problem whatsoever. Yoh get coffee making facilities and a kitchenette. The beds are small Doubles. There are not shared facilities, so you have your own bathroom, kitchen, etc No shower gels etc provided but for £120 cheaper than my local Travelodge and premier Inn, I'll take it !

Was unaware it was a student accommodation property. That said, it was not noisy and although room had only the basics it was fine for the price and quite well positioned for access to town. The bathroom was a little dirty with hair on several surfaces. Only minor but needs to improve if selling rooms to tourists/non students.

Et godt alternativ!

Deilig med egen leilighet, men dette er et studenthjem, så det er ikke rengjøring hver dag og rommet er HELT basic og tomt. Tallerkner, glass og bestikk, samt et par kjeler og vannkoker. Kjøleskap med liten fryseboks. Ikke såpe/shampo på badet, kun håndklær. Ikke TV på rommet, men WIFI'n er bra, så det er null problem å streame på nettbrett/telefon. Rett ved en brannstasjon, men relativt bra lydisolert. Flere store matbutikker og spisesteder i nærheten. Deilig med felles takterasse! Var også treningsrom der til fri benyttelse, samt vaskerom til klær! Følte at jeg fikk mye for pengene.

Not a hotel - student accomodation

Didn’t realise it was student accommodation until the day I checked in. However was everything it needed to be, very basic but cheaper than most budget hotels and served its purpose. Toiletries not provided so make sure to bring your own, including soap.

City Break

Very clean and presentable and the staff were helpful and friendly. However, we were not able to turn a fan off that went on all night and there was also a lot of noise outside of the room, so our sleep was somewhat disturbed.

Reasonable priced well-equipped small studio

Kind staff at reception. You get a electronic key to pass get access to the remaining of the building. The room is relatively small, but was equipped with everything that was listed in the room description. Many of the kitchen tools were brand new (still packed). The WiFi was working well. The fitness room was also a useful. The neighbourhood provides supermarkets (for preparing your own meal), but also restaurants and shops.

Small studio good for a short stay.

The studio was nice with cool view over the city. We had no problems with the noice and the manager lady at the reception was super nice! However, it could be cleaner. They should invest in better cleaning!

Ho soggiornato in questa struttura per studenti durante il mese di agosto. La stanza e' moderna fornita di angolo cottura, utensili per la cucina, una comoda scrivania e letto. Unica pecca la pulizia del bagno e le lenzuola. Per il resto il personale alla reception e' stato gentilissimo e disponibile a risolvere qualsiasi problema in particolare Lauretta e Fabiola, due persone squisite!

A nice place, but no air con.

This trip was good, but there was definite room for improvement. The rooms are not a hotel room but student accommodation. For those unfamiliar with this it’s like a micro apartment the size of the standard front room with bed, kitchenette and shower room. For a trip of a day or two for business it’s all you need on a budget. The staff are friendly and amenities good, especially the 18th floor lounge and outdoor terrace. The cleaning schedule was weird, of my 5 night stay the schedule was a towel refresh and bin empty during the 4th day. Kind of pointless, would have been better to schedule this in the middle of the stay rather than near the end. As it was I checked out a night early. Finally, air con. There is none. Your air conditioning options are to open a window a tiny bit and a fan provided by the accommodation. During the summer this isn’t adequate and as the hotel is very well insulated (I suppose to save on heating in the winter) it really means you can have a terrible nights sleep especially during extended periods of hot weather like I experienced during my stay. In review, a good place to crash on a budget especially if you want to sort your own food out during your stay. Better than a hostel private room. 18th floor lounge is a great free included amenity. If they sorted out the air con situation I’d be back in summer , till then I would only return in cooler months.

Struttura carina e moderna con un ma...

L’appartamento in cui abbiamo alloggiato in due persone è carino, moderno e con tutto il necessario per cucinare (fornelli ad induzione, microonde e frigo); perfetto dunque per chi vuole risparmiare sul cibo (considerati i prezzi elevati per pranzare e cenare a Londra). Per due persone tuttavia è al limite della vivibilità dato che comunque è veramente piccolino (per una settimana ok, non di più a mio parere). Il grande problema che ho riscontrato è che non è dotato di aria condizionata e nemmeno di un semplice ventilatore. Problema che risulta ancora più evidente se si cucina.. per quanto riguarda la pulizia, alla presentazione è abbastanza pulito, però non essendo un hotel vero e proprio, non viene pulito durante il soggiorno ma vengono cambiati soltanto gli asciugamani una volta a settimana. Per il resto, molto bello per il piano panoramico (diciottesimo piano) in cui c’è biliardo, biliardino e piano, e per la palestra aperta sempre (per gli appassionati 😂). Per concludere, considerato anche il prezzo, consigliato per due persone per Massimo una settimana con tutti i limiti elencati.
