Overall, a reliable and welcoming hotel with excellent customer service.
Pros:

I had a very good experience at The Whitechapel Hotel.

Before my arrival, I contacted the hotel regarding a late check-in, as my flight landed in the evening and I still had to travel from Heathrow by metro. The communication was clear, quick and reassuring, and the hotel was very accommodating. Everything was arranged smoothly, and someone was available to assist with my check-in despite my arrival being after reception hours, which I truly appreciated.

The staff were friendly, professional and helpful, making the whole process stress-free after the travel. The location is also very convenient, with easy access to public transport.

I would definitely stay here again.
