decent stay near hackney empire
great location coffee tea station sticky door lock no cappuccino
i found the location excellent, especially as i was visiting the hackney empire. it was very convenient. the room included water bottles plus a station for coffee and tea. i also got a 20% discount on my food bill downstairs, a nice surprise.
the door lock in my room was a little sticky (it took a few tries to open). vegetarian options were okay, but somewhat overpriced. i was also a little disappointed that there was no cappuccino available, only regular coffee.

water bottles tea coffee food discount pricey drinks high cost bar expense
The room included water bottles and a station with tea and coffee. I received a 20% discount on my food bill in the pub. The room also had a fan as there is no air conditioning..
The cost of drinks at the bar was a bit much. I paid £18.70 for a glass of wine and a pint of bitter.

Really good Stay in Hackney Central!
spacious room modern decor drink selection overall cleanliness
The room was spacious and included a comfortable sofa. I liked the modern decor throughout the room and the hotel generally. I was happy to find a varied selection of hot beverages available in the room. Cleanliness was clearly a priority, as the room was super clean.
I noticed the staff didn't show me to my room upon check-in. This was a slight oversight.

The room featured high-quality linens on a comfortable bed, which ensured restful sleep. The bathroom had ample space, offering a very good shower with consistent hot water. Blackout curtains effectively blocked external light, important for relaxation.
