some issues, not the best stay
small room card machine
the breakfast selection was good, especially the fresh fruit.
my room was smaller than i expected, especially given the price. the bathroom really needed some updating, like an air fan in there would have been nice. i also had trouble with the card machine not working when i arrived.

small space room layout
the breakfast was ok, with enough options to choose from so i didn't starve.
the room i got, a superior twin room, felt really small. it barely had space for my luggage and i kept bumping into things. they should really rethink the layout or something.

Peaceful Stay Near Limehouse Station
kind staff convenient location breakfast
I found this place a wonderful find. The staff were kind and cute. The location is conveniently close to Limehouse Station and the Thames. I enjoyed the breakfast and the overall atmosphere, hoping to return in the future.
The bathroom was not very clean. There was rust on the metallic soap holders in the shower. Only one caffeinated coffee per person was provided in the room.
