"Individual feel and atmosphere"
Really enjoyable stay in a stylish hotel which boasts a very individual feel and atmosphere, alongside comfortable accommodations. A lovely ethical ethos as well. Great location for access to central London from the east, and can't be beaten on price and service. Highly recommend

" I wish I had discovered this Hotel earlier"
It is extremely disability friendly and they even carried my tray to my room for me as I was worried that I might drop it. The rooms were quirky and interesting and had everything that I could possibly need.

"Consider this place and you will be inspired!"
This is a must-do for the urban traveler. Not only the green initiatives, but even more so the design approach needs to be experienced. A modern monastery where only the essentials count? Well, maybe - but you need to find that out on your own!
