Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is modern and well-maintained, with cozy and functional spaces. Although the room is not very large, it’s extremely practical: it includes a small kitchen, a convenient desk, and a modern, clean bathroom. The bed is very comfortable and offers a lovely view of the city skyline, which makes the stay even more enjoyable. Wi-Fi is included in the price and works well. At the reception area, guests can purchase items such as water and snacks — a convenient and thoughtful service. The location is excellent: there are several restaurants nearby, and Tower Bridge can be reached with a pleasant 15-minute walk. The property is also well connected by public transport, just a 5-minute walk from Aldgate East station. Overall, a pleasant and comfortable stay — perfect for those looking for functionality, comfort, and a strategic location in the heart of London.

The rooms ARE small, but they are comfy, VERY well equipped, clean, and the location can't be beat! The bed is especially comfortable and the shower is amazing. We do wish we were able to adjust the air con on our own, but we were there during a heat wave. We would definitely stay there again.

I loved Buckle! They happily received and held a parcel for me that was accidentally deliver days before my arrival. The communication before my arrival was fast. The staff and property was wonderful. I do wish they had loaner umbrellas, but that would be my only critique.

It was spacious and comfortable, we were only staying for the one night but both agreed it was somewhere we would stay again. The room was well kept, I had a minor frustration with the cast function on the TV but this was not a major issue for our stay. Transport connections to the hotel were great, there was plenty in walking distance too.
