I'd stay there again, but a mixed experience...
I'll start with some big pluses. Convenient, short walk from the Mile End tube station; an easy spot while in London for biz. A very pleasant walkable neighborhood; shops, restaurants, and a large parks/gardens. The hotel sits on the site of a historic hotel with a19th Century Garden, a popular destination at the time. The adjacent Regents Canal (with narrow boats and hand oprated locks) path and park makes for nice strolls.
The rooms are over a lively pub, but no noise issues. The rooms a are bit small, but "space capsuling" is fairly normal for rooms in this price range in larger cities. The toilet, directly in front of the sink, was a stretch (pun intened). The otherwise modern shower was stuck at the hottest setting, the knob did nothing. I had to get creative with a jug and do camping washes. Otherwise clean and comfortable.
I wonder if the rooms are an afterthought for the pub, and hotel guests are somewhat of an annoyance. Example: this is the only hotel, in decades of travel in 30+ countries that refused to hold a bag until checkin time. I pondered, that surely the staff, who kept me outside the door in the rain, was instructed not to come up with solutions, or didn't care.
Whatever. An odd mix, but overall decent for the price. Also, try the Smoke End steakhouse nearby... a hidden gem
