SURROUNDINGS

Reviews

• Alexandrah1407 from United Kingdom (9/10)

  The hotel was so clean and the apartments were exceptional. We had a family room with outside space which was brilliant and the room was bigger than expected. We heard no noise from other apartments which was great for a good night’s sleep. The beds were extremely comfortable too. The bathroom was so big and easily accommodated the needs of a family, the toiletries were lovely and plentiful also. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Very easy and fast check in and check out. Great location and only a short walk from the tube station and located near small supermarkets.

• Mary from United Kingdom (9/10)

  Clean and comfortable. The staff were really friendly and helpful. I liked that we had some kitchen facilities, tea and coffee, and water was in the fridge. Travel cot was provided for baby

• Filipe from Canada (9/10)

  Great location – walking distance from Liverpool Street and Shoreditch; Friendly & Helpful Staff

• Tala from France (9/10)

  We spent a great weekend at Aptel East. Conveniently located near the tube. Room size is perfect, bedding is super comfortable. You can even store your luggage before check-in and after check-out. The staff was wonderful, we will come back for sure and recommend this to anyone visiting this vibrant city – great value for money 🙂

• Mehmet from United Kingdom (8/10)

  Friendly staff, clean and silent

• Simon from United Kingdom (9/10)

  Lots of great breakfast options available locally: I recommend the Padma Coffee House on the corner. The rooms are a good size and comfortably laid out with good shower rooms, and there was a great view north over Whitechapel from ours. The rooms are well enough equipped that you could stay and ‘self cater’ (with microwave, crockery, cutlery) easily if you were so inclined. The area is ‘unpolished’ but really welcoming.

• Nicole from Ireland (8/10)

  Room was spacious, was very clean. The staff were very nice and helpful.

• Siobhan from Ireland (9/10)

  Spacious room. Staff very accommodating

• Hakan from Turkey (9/10)

  Very close to whitechapel and aldgate east tube stations. Close to a supermarket. It was fairly quiet even though we were facing the main street. Bathroom was spacious. Staff was very helpful and kind.

• Lianne from United Kingdom (8/10)

  Excellent location with easy access to all transport links. Right next to a tube station within 5 min walk. Room was bigger than I expected with a full range of kitchen utensils to use, kettle, microwave and had all cups/bowls etc. Bed was good size and comfortable too. Would highly recommend.
