Overall there's a cool vibe about the place, but the real downside for me was that it was very noisy - we were on the street side and on 1st floor so that probably didn't help. The linen was collected at 12:50am on consecutive days which was very annoying.
Breakfast was disappointing considering it was a Marco Pierre White establishment - turkey bacon and sausages definitely don't hit the same, baked beans were tasteless and poached eggs might have actually been peeled hard-boiled eggs. We ended up only having breakfast once in 4 days, wasn't worth getting up early for. There were no kettles in rooms, but tea and coffee is available on every floor from a communal area - however the coffee is not great quality (Cadbury hot chocolate was decent however)
The communal areas were pretty basic but fine - the games room consists of a pool table and an arcade machine, both free to use. The library was a few tables and a random and unordered selection of books.
The rooms were well-presented and clean, reception staff were helpful and cheerful and I liked the overall aesthetic of the hotel. Location was good, just around the corner from Whitechapel tube station. I would stay there again but maybe on a higher floor to avoid the worst of the noise.
