This hotel is modern, clean and the staff are friendly and helpful.
The only problem we had was with the heat in our room. We stayed there from December 26th to January 1st. The system did not generate sufficient heat. The staff tried to rectify the problem but could not. We had to request a portable heater for our room. With the portable heater we were finally able to bring the room to a comfortable temperature. From discussions with the staff, this seems to be a common complaint for this hotel.
The shelf space in the bathroom was insufficient for my wife and myself. We were in room 374 - this situation may be different in other rooms.
Location - in terms of walking distance -
The hotel is about two minutes from the Aldgate underground station. Warning - Aldgate has no elevators or escalators to the platform. You must be able to walk down / up two flights of stairs when entering / leaving.
The hotel is about two minutes walking distance from a Sainsbury's store.
The hotel is about 7 to 10 minutes from the Tower of London. It would take about the same amount of time to the Tower Bridge.
