Get What You Pay For.
Very small 'executive' twin room. Difficult for two people to share comfortably and both be standing up at the same time, or even moving around. Annoyingly no sink in the bathroom, although there is one on the dressing table/desk. Friendly staff and very helpful. Room clean and hotel in a good location for Spitafields, Whitechapel, Pettycoat Lane, Shoreditch, Tower of London all within walking distance. The restaurant must be the only one in the area which doesn't have any Vegan food, but staff helpful. Would stay again, but only as a single person.
