Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Corner London City is appreciated for its convenient location, a short walk from Aldgate East subway station and within easy reach of attractions like Tower Bridge. Guests often highlight the spacious and clean rooms, some featuring very large and comfortable beds. A plentiful and high-quality breakfast buffet, including vegan croissants, is another frequently praised aspect, with convenient tea/coffee facilities available near the rooms; however, some guests have found the windowless rooms to be quite warm, even with air conditioning. A Tesco supermarket is also conveniently located nearby.

the breakfast choices were ample and decent. i cannot complain about that.
The room lacked a proper window, and that was unsettling. waking up and not knowing if it was day or night felt bizarre. also, the air conditioning made quite a racket. I could not keep it on while in the room. it was annoying
