“Buckle Street Studios By Locke, Aldgate makes a mark with its East End location near Aldgate East Station. The design prioritizes modern style and community, showcased through local art and engaging common areas, but some may find the execution misses the mark. For short stays, the micro studios with kitchenettes present a compelling option, though the experience seems variable.”

Small Room , Some Issues

convenient locationsmall roomno cleaning
The location was close to Aldgate East Tube station , making it easy to get around.
The room was very small for the price , barely enough space to open my suitcase. There was no real storage space , so I had to live out of my suitcase the entire time. Also , the room wasn't cleaned .

perfect locationnice staffsoundproofing issuelarge gap
the location was perfect. it took less than 10 minutes to walk to the docks. nearby stores and coffee places were easily accessible. the staff were super nice and the room was clean. the room was a cosy studio.
the room lacked soundproofing. i could hear everything from the adjacent room. the noise impacted the stay. the shower door had a large gap. water splashed into the bathroom and corridor.
