A funky design hotel only a minute walk from Old Street station and within each reach to Shoreditch and Angel. While the bar/restaurant in the lobby looks very cool, the hotel reception is essentially the cashier for the restaurant and can be a long wait to talk to anyone. Staff were ok, but not particularly friendly or helpful as you would expect from a 4 star hotel. While the decor in the bar/restaurant and the room is quite modern, the corridors and general public space seems like your typical Holiday Inn/Ibis type budget hotel. The biggest issue was with the sound proofing in the room - I could hear every noise from outside in the hallway and the rooms adjacent/above. I was woken up numerous times during the night every time a neighboring room would flush the toilet or use the shower.
