Shut Eyes

Not awful. Access to the room was a bit convoluted. But would it be so difficult to install a TV that didn’t require a diploma in IT to get working? In the end, after signing into every app known to man, I gave up. Mind you, it was cheap. And a half-decent bolt hole if you’re on a serious budget

A cheep and cheerful room, warm and clean. Incredible value for money, very kind staff. Not the Ritz, but more than good value for money!

It is what it is - the people are nice - but it is not a hotel. It is extremely loud and noisy as the walls are very thin. It served our purpose fine as we were not that much home, but the noise in the late night were rather extreme.

The hotel is a self check in set up which in its self is fine. To find the entrance is very difficult and once you do it feels very sketchy. I never like to give a negative review when someone is trying to run a business, I booked it as funds were limited but needed to be in London for the night. The price of hotels in London like everything else has shot up. Shut eyes was considerably cheaper so I suppose you get what you pay for. The room was not dirty but had an unusual odour, I didn’t want to spend to much time there. It was a adequate for a quick stay, however I wouldn’t stay again.

On the plus side the accomodation is central (Shoreditch area) & a double room was substantially cheaper than other central hotels. Approx 160 GBP on 1 July. To get a room room at this price you'd need to go to outskirts Bedding and tiled floors were clean. Prospective customers should be aware this is not a hotel. Rooms are in the 3rd floor attic above a restaurant. If you have accessibilty needs, there are 6 flights of stairs to the rooms. There is no reception. You go into the restaurant & are escorted to a covered alley accessed via digital lock. The room itself is accessed using an electronic touch screen digital lock, bit fiddly. There is no key. Staff were friendly & welcoming as far as it goes. They will ask you to photograph the codes on your smart phone. There will be no one there to assist after the restaurant closes. We did wonder if any punters might start arriving in the small hours (thin stud walls only). But it was quiet in the street & in accomodation despite being a Saturday night. The shower room had no curtain & with light on your top half will be visible to windows opposite, although they are a distance away. The shower tray was completely smooth with no mat & very slippery. I was crashing there with my son after a gig so these were minor to us, but might concern some customers. My biggest gripe was the tap on the bathroom sink of an unusual glass slotted design. Visibly very dirty on the inside. If website allows I will post a photo.
