“This East London hotel presents a dichotomy. While stylish rooms and a responsive service are promised, reports of unsafe conditions and unresolved maintenance issues give me considerable pause. Its location near the Tower of London and Brick Lane would appeal more if basic expectations of safety and service were consistently met.”
