Small Room, Okay Location

small room unsafe area
The room was VERY small. I know they advertise the room dimensions, but it felt EVEN smaller in person. It was difficult to move around the bed to reach the bathroom. Maybe a smaller bed would help create more space. I did not feel completely safe in the area.

Small Room , Some Issues

small room no 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 .
