“This property sits comfortably near London's artistic Shoreditch, a location that should be a draw for those seeking culture. Spacious rooms and family-friendly amenities suggest a focus on comfort, though some past-their-prime rooms were mentioned. If you are looking for a budget-conscious stay, be sure to confirm that your room has been updated.”
