fantastic stay above the pub

i stayed for four nights and thought the location was really amazing. it was a short walk to the east aldgate tube station. the surrounding area has many places to eat. i really liked having the coffee and tea in my room.
the bathroom was quite small , and the loo seat rested on my back. the air conditioning from the kitchen below was a bit noisy. the room was very hot , even with the radiator turned down.
