Aptel East

Excellent surprise since the place was rather new and we didn't expect anything in particular. The place is clean and neat, great location (nice neighbourhood and easy access to public transport), very friendly staff, nice amenities in the rooms. Management of the group (we were 16, in 5 different rooms) was smart and efficient. Good and useful advice from the staff re. restaurants nearby.

Reading the reviews made me nervous about the hotel itself, the location and so much more. But I actually loved the area. It was close to the city centre, great train and bus connection and there was everything you need in walking distance (up to 500 meters), including little shops that were open all night (with incredibly nice people). Everyone we met there was really nice and helpful. The room was clean, spacious and pretty much had everything we needed including a little fridge, tea, some water and even some biscuits. It is a serviced apartment so unlike a hotel your bed won’t be made, but that didn’t bother us. We got fresh towels and extra toilet paper and basic cleaning was done. But now the part that is definitely gonna make us return. The staff, specifically Kash. Literally made sure we had everything we need, asked us daily if everything was alright, and pretty much solved every problem we had on top of being one of the nicest people i have ever met. His service was exceptional and we’ll definitely return soon!

The hotel is in a very convenient location, only a short 5-10 minute walk from Whitechapel station. Despite the central location, it was very quiet within the hotel and the specific room I stayed in had a window that didn't overlook a street so there was even some privacy. The shower was also excellent, which was well-appreciated since I stayed during a heatwave.

Aptel east was perfect for us, room was spotless, comfortable and the staff were very polite/ helpful and you get 10% off in their coffee shop next door. Not far from the tube stations/ bus stops/ shops and fast food places all up/down the street. We travelled down for a concert in Hyde park and this accommodation was perfect.

Newly refurbished, tasteful decor, clean, fresh bedlinen, tiled floors and hallways in great condition. Room had a small kitchenette no cooker but had microwave, sink kettle not something I require but someone else might especially if staying a couple of nights. Had walked past the building as the front door is snuggled between many shops on this busy commercial street. I was a woman travelling on my own for an event in the area and felt safe from the moment I stepped inside, was greeted by a friendly young woman and her coworker who was being trained. A lovely young lad was there for the night into morning. Tubes either side about 10 mins walk either side.Excellent value for money.
