Get What You Pay For.
Very small 'executive' twin room. Difficult for two people to share comfortably and both be standing up at the same time, or even moving around.
Annoyingly no sink in the bathroom, although there is one on the dressing table/desk.
Friendly staff and very helpful. Room clean and hotel in a good location for Spitafields, Whitechapel, Pettycoat Lane, Shoreditch, Tower of London all within walking distance.
The restaurant must be the only one in the area which doesn't have any Vegan food, but staff helpful.
Would stay again, but only as a single person.

Le personnel est adorable. Très bon services de propriété (les serviettes sont changées et les lits refaits tout les jours). Les matelas et les draps sont de bonne qualité. Le point négatif est pour le quartier qui est bruyant et assez sale.
Ich hatte einen sehr guten Aufenthalt im Whitechapel Hotel jetzt schon zum zweiten Mal. Mein Zimmer war sehr geräumig und alles war in Ordnung. Die Lage ist vielleicht nicht die allerbeste aber man ist dennoch sehr gut ans öffentliche Verkehrsnetz angebunden.
Modern budget hotel with very clean rooms and comfortable beds. Top (4th) floor room excellent; 2nd floor room very good. Rooms facing the front suffer from road noise, but the windows eliminate this if closed & the air-con's not too noisy. Reception staff friendly, helpful and professional. Can't comment on the catering, as we ate elsewhere. The area feels slightly 'edgy' at night (& we're from Merseyside). Overall, good value for London & we'd book again if returning to the area.

Very convenient location. Stayed just one night for that it was perfect.
Stayed 4 nights end of january / start of february.
Small but nice single room. Fridge, tea/coffee and a safe in the room. Take away and supermarket (Tesco) close by.
Close to Whitechapel Station and Aldgate East, walking distance to Tower Hill.
I stayed twice at this hotel and my room was so big and very complete I didn’t want to leave the place. Kitchen, fridge, washer machine, iron table, sofa, tv. Perfect apartment for a big family. Very clean and quiet. Close to the tube and few minutes walking to the city. Supermarkets very close.
I loved this place I recommend it if you want to avoid downtown and pay excessive price just because you are in London.
We stayed for three nights in one of the apartments, which was nice and clean. Nice kitchen and space to cook and eat. But we rather went to some really nice and cheap restaurants in the neighbourhood. Although a tourist, it’s nice to be off the touristy areas. Central and easy access to Aldgate East when arriving at London Gatwick, then train to London Bridge.

Rapporto qualita’/prezzo negativo.
Piccola struttura gestita da personale arabo.
Nella reception si sente un evidente odore di cibo arabo.
La colazione viene servita in un caffe’ dall’altra parte della strada.
