It’s positioned far enough away to feel secure from central East London which is not safe unfortunately.

Reviewed Feb 12, 2024This is our 4th year at staying at this location for Buffalo and we love it, but for the price they need to ensure their offering and service is top notch- the rooms are lovely but there are a lot of other guesthouses that have popped is with better prices for the same service. We felt that they were understaffed this weekend but the manager did resolve issues quickly and when the breakfast on the second day was served timeously and was delicious.
The attention to detail has definitely dropped- there are not enough plug points for charging multiple devices. One plug point not working, no instructions on how to use the TV remote which wasn’t working, none of the amenities provided had been checked before we checked in at 6pm. Breakfast took over an hour either way only 10 people in the dining room - I felt they could have staffed up- no owners present. Please also include low fat options in yoghurt- overall still a great venue but expensive
