Excellent stay close to Aldgate East

easy arrivallounge areamissing amenities
The advanced check-in process really eased my arrival. Collecting my key and heading straight to the room was super convenient. The room featured a contemporary, stylish finish and I slept very well, it was positioned on a side street away from traffic and roads. There's a communal lounge area on the ground floor.
I noticed there were no amenities within the building. I had to go nearby to buy food and drinks etc. Adding some vending machines or a small shop could enhance convenience.
