“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, Okay Location

small roomunsafe 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

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 .
