Room was clean and shower was good, which is essential. We could drop our bags prior to and after check in/out which was nice!

Reception looked quite tatty and unkempt, not like I had expected and staff although ‘perfectly’ ok and helpful I thought they would be way friendlier, engaged and welcoming it certainly could have been significantly improved if they where friendly, vibey, fun staff which I feel is what the brand portrays!! I also hate it when there's no coffee or tea in the room I know they provided it at reception but who wants to trapse down 4 floors in their PJs for a coffee at 7am?!? I also don't want to buy milk, coffee and tea for just one night. Maybe they have an option to take stuff to room if I'd have asked but it wasn't offered.

My studio room was beyond my expectations for sure! So comfy, so practical so enjoyable I just wish I was staying for longer! Location 100% right by station so I got in and out of Liverpool Street in 15 mins. Enjoyed Hackney Church Brewery and other POI Close to Tkmax and m&s food so made stay easy and chilled! They looked after my luggage all day which was amazing!

Late checkout hourly £20 charge is excessive. Overground noise could be disturbing, but windows are decent. Would need better A/C control in the room during hot nights.

Early check in was possible when I rang, pleasant staff, clean throughout, great location beside Hackney Central Overground, comfortable bed and bright room.

Room was very dusty, there were a lot of dust and trash under the bed. Mattress was pretty worn and uncomfy, pillows were very thin and uncomfy. Mattress, pillow and blanket were stained. There was a mirrow on the door but no light in the roof so the room was very dark. No soundproofing - were able to hear the person in the nex room over having a conversation and fully hear all they said.

Location was great for moving around the city. Great shops and parks within walking distance. Hackney is a great, chill area. Check in was easy and staff were fairly friendly. Room size was good.

First night our room had no window, was a bit claustrophobic but receptionist changed our room with out hesitation and was much better.

Location at Hackney Central Station is great, room was clean and staff were very helpful overall happy with my stay.

Was a very small room.

It felt more on the hostel side than the hotel. I booked a small room but did not expect it to be THAT small. It was more or less the dimension of a double-sized bed but with a single bed and a small desk next to it. This would ok if you don't plan to spend much time in there, but what was really a problem was the lack of air during the night. There is no window and it gets hard to breathe and very warm quite easily. The ventilation system could be better. The walls are paper-thin and the first person waking up from a nearby room in the same corridor wakes up pretty much everybody, unless you sleep very heavily. You can hear everything from the bathroom, even the water running from the sink, everybody's alarm, and even people moving things in their room. One morning I got stuck outside the room because the key card stopped working. To be fair, they fixed the problem quickly, but it was inconvenient that there was a problem to be fixed in the first place. I was rushing out for a conference and I had to get to another floor without shoes and toiletries with me to get to the reception. The area felt a little sketchy, and I didn't feel very safe going around after dark to grab a bite or just to come back to the hotel. Even if the overground is right next to the hotel, the line is slow to reach any point of interest besides a few connecting stations.

This is the right place to book if you care pretty much only about saving money and you are ok with having the minimum possible comfort for a single room. The bed was comfortable and having the reception open 24h is a big advantage in case a problem arises. The room was clean enough and the common bathroom as well, even if not with great attention to detail. It is placed pretty much on top of Overground stations and very close to the stations to get the train to London Stansted airport, but it is not what you are looking for if you want to get quickly to tourist attractions. The staff was friendly and available in case of problems and questions.

Staff refusing to provide another key card at 2am when accidentally locking myself out of the room which had my I.d and payment card in.

The room was literally at the train track, so with the window closed it was still quite noisy. But since the temperature in the room was quite hot, even with airco on, you had to choose between noise or fresh air.

Lovely staff, small but clean & well equipped room. Good value for money in this pricey city.

Loved the black colour scheme of the rooms. close to station & Hackney empire

Overlooking an Overground Station the room is very noisy, particularly at night when people are walking up to the station. Not wanting to open the window because of the noise it was quite stuffy. The air-conditioning seems to be centrally controlled so it would only stay on for around 30 seconds at a time.

Really good location for my requirements, well connected to TFL, and easy to reach from City Centre. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms look good and have everything you need. Great selection of TV channels, streaming aps etc.

The rooms were clean at first but I found someone’s hair in my bed? Also, the bed is quite uncomfortable

The location is great and check-in very comfortable. The staff is very helpful and nice!

No windows / self-catering facilities. Room was quite cold (aircon too high - no way of controlling this). Overly priced considering this.

Comfy bed, friendly staff, free coffee, felt safe.

Stayed in May 2024

Small and very stuffy room. There was AC but it wasn't very effective. Thin walls with slamming doors which woke us up in the night. Small bed with cheap sheets which kept coming off. Bathroom ok but extractor fan broken. Overall, not a very comfortable stay.

Good location right in the centre of Hackney Central. Decor was modern. Reasonable price for the area. Staff were helpful.

No drink making facilities in room Other doors in the hallway were rather loud throughout stay

The double bed was small, and close to a noisy train line with many freight trains during the night

Friendly staff and easy check in process

This was my second and also last time staying there. During my first stay I had really good experience with staff, they were helpful and very nice. Unfortunately for the second time they were rude, not helpful and I almost disturbed them all the time (check-in and out..) as they were super busy chit chatting with each other and hanging on their phones.

Location, good choice for a day or two.

The toilet rooms door did not close and it was not very comfortable to use it.

Room size, quiet and comfortable.

It just felt tired. My pillow was paper thin and I had to ask for a second one. Toilet brush was disgusting, it sounds petty but we all have to occasionally use it and seriously they don't cost alot to replace. Look to the details Kip. I had booked a third a third stay but cancelled as there are lots of other choices.

This is the second time I have stayed here when I arrive from overseas. The location to public transport, restaurants other fun areas is excellent. Price point reasonable for London. Room was small with shared bathroom, I never saw anyone else use it, everything was clean and it is what I booked.

Reception could have been a bit friendlier, but were OK. While I had a double bed, it was just me, but I'm tall, so slept an an angle. Not an issue for me, but would have been for a couple. Trains kept me awake on and off throughout the night, as while I was on the 3rd floor, I was overlooking the station. Windows weren't particularly sound-proofed, so I was woken up a few times.

The room was compact but had everything I needed for a one-night stay. The shower room was good. Aircon was present and worked well enough, although the room was on the warm side at allegedly 18DegC. I went to see The Pogues 40th Anniversary gig for Red Roses for me at the Hackney Empire and then on to the MOTH Club for the aftershow party. One of the best nights of my life, and the hotel was very handy for both venues and the train station.
