Room was loud (main ground floor corridor) and there was constant footsteps from upstairs therefore we had very little sleep. Our bed was also very creaky!

I love the design and decor of this hotel, as well as the roomy suites with kitchen facilities and spacious, luxurious bathrooms. The basement rooms feel a little gloomy and not as airy and cosy feeling as other rooms. The food is fabulous, if a little expensive. £40 spent on a light breakfast for 1 adult and a toddler was a bit steep. There were some broken lights in our room, knocking pipe noises from the shower and quite a bit of hair in the swimming pool. A little more attention to maintenance and more value for money dining options would make it a 5 star stay.

A really wonderful hotel - great location and amazing rooms

The stay in the average and expensive class hotel was generally ok
The service required for completing the missing to the room was prompt
The requested quiet room was not available which resulted in moving rooms altogether
The request for late check out was declined

A lovely suite to stay in, which allowed family members to watch TV in different rooms and not disturb each other. Kitchen facilities allowed us to make our own food.
Swimming pool was small but not overcrowded when we used it. Clean and nicely decorated.
Only downside was the trying to shower in the room after the swim. Ran taps for ages and just came out like warm on one setting and freezing cold on the other. There were no hot or cold markings either. Had to leave unshowered for dinner reservation. When I tried it again later, the freezing cold side actually became the optimal hot temperature after running it. My teen managed to flood the bathroom the next day after using the ceiling attachment and shower curtain. This made the floor very slippery but we had some spare towels to mop up. We enjoyed our stay but wished the shower facilities were more user friendly.
Best Tiramisu in the Italian across the road from the hotel.
6.0
Booked double deluxe for 3 nights. Overall slightly disappointing. Not quite to the standard we expected of this grade of hotel and price. Moved out of first room: poor decor, kitchen cupboard broken. Manager very kindly upgraded us without quibble. Second room/apartment very spacious; comfortable beds. Quality and finish of some fittings was average.
Gym ok with a few machines and some free weights.
Presented with an unexpected invoice for accommodation service charge of £45; were told it was discretionary and for the staff. Paid it, and trust that it does go to staff.
In summary, a little way below what we expected and what we have experienced at other hotels of similar standard.
5.0
The bed was too soft for me since I had spinal cord surgery and after surgery my back required a much firmer bedding than normal people. The hotel staffs went extra miles to help me and accommodate my special needs with a great attitude and compassion.
The swimming pool and gym were small but has all the features for travelers to enjoy and relax. The friendly atmosphere made my 5 days stay became so comfortable and enjoyable. Great team work. I would recommend the Town Hall hotel near the Bethnal Green Station in London at any time to anyone. Thanks

The staff of this hotel really care about making our experience as pleasant as possible.

The only hotel I will stay at in London.
Have been coming here for 20 years . It’s a home away from home!
The staff are so kind and genuine and the place is a rare, gorgeous gem in one of the most interesting areas of London.
10.0
The hotel is beautiful and I like that it has original details and furnishings, not cookie cutter modern furniture. I would defiintely stay again and recommend it, but at first glance in the rain, the view across the street leaves a bit to be desired. I didn't eat in the hotel, but since I had a suite that was extremely well equipped it mitigated the need for it. The fitness centre and swimming pool were great but it would be nice if there were an outdoor space. It was convenient for many great restaurants and shops by walking, bus or underground even though the immediate area is short on those..Brick Lane, Columbia Road and Roman Road were walkable if you like to explore the area, and short bus rides if that is too much.

Nice old building, I would try to get a room facing the front street.
10.0
Terrific hotel; rooms at the back are noisier because of the car park. Beds are the best I know which is the most important of all. Staff is very very friendful and helpful. We will go back, no doubt!

We arrived at the hotel approx 3:30pm, we were advised by our booking confirmation we could check in from 3pm. In arrival we stood in the lobby for around 20 minutes waiting for a somebody on reception to b come available. There were at least 3 other groups of guest waiting, and only limited seating, so we were just stood until a receptionist became free. While waiting we heard a number of guests being told their room was not yet ready and they would have to wait. When we were checked in the member of staff was very friendly, polite and did apologise for the wait, and we were fortunate enough to have a room ready for us straight away.
On entering the room, it was attractively laid out, bathroom was clean and modern and a kitchenette was available for our use (however we did not use during our stay). The bed was in the middle of the room with no bedside tables and therefore no where to charge a phone within reach of the bed or anywhere to put a book/glass of water etc. The bed was lovely and comfy, however our ‘Junior Suite’ was advertised as having a King Size bed, and in fact was only a standard double.
The suite also boasted a Smart TV, but only YouTube worked, no alternative apps and when trying to watch a channel we just got ‘No Signal’.
There were two lovely big floor to ceiling windows in our room, unfortunately we only looked out onto the hotel bins store, and one of the window’s curtains only covered half the window, so we were woken first thing by the sun.

The room was very large. I also loved the gym and pool. Only a few blocks to Underground and our room was very quiet. Breakfast and dining room was very cute.

Really cool hotel with large rooms and a terrific restaurant
6.0
In a state of disrepair. Lights that don't work, light switch literally fell off the wall. Not what you'd expect for such a beautiful building with a great lobby. Not very noise insulated, almost sounds like it amplifies the partying on the street when you're lower ground level. Can hear everything in neighbouring rooms too, and the hall. Bed is tight against wall so not particularly accessible for a second person, which seems like poor planning for a studio sized suite that should easily be able to adhere to conventional hotel standards for beds. Rock hard pillows not a far cry from using a brick as a pillow. I wouldn't return.
8.0
I found this historic space rich in art and culture. It's location is nestled in existing communities that allows for a rich experience. Bethnal Green is a cultural dream

Wonderful boutique hotel with a stunning pool.
5.0
The old Town Hall restyled into an interesting and comfortable hotel with a stylish vintage feel. Rooms with small well equipped kitchens make this place great for longer stays. Beds are comfortable, bathrooms spacious although the deep and narrow tub can be a little tricky. Quiet and out of the way yet walking distance to the central line, Broadway market, interesting restaurants and cocktail bars.
5.0
Room was exactly as shown in the photos. Really comfortable bed and well equipped.
Only downside was the bathroom, took a while to figure out the taps as they were in need of some repair.
But overall a very comfortable stay, would visit again.
10.0
Near the Bethnal Green tube stop easy access into London’s main attraction on the central
Line. 50m from the V&A kids museum and lots of good restaurants across the road. The pool and gym are great and the rooms (suite with kitchen) was excellent value
4.0
Warm welcome from reception staff was a great start. We stayed in a one bedroom suite. Lovely and spacious with a coffee machine, kettle, fridge etc.
We had a couple of minor niggles - the sofa was very low, so hard to get up and down from for older people and the small hanging space provided was badly designed as the door wouldn’t close when items were hanging up. Overall though a very comfortable stay.

Unfortunately myself and my wife were disappointed with our stay. We are still waiting back for an e mail from the manager as we wrote a long list of issues we encountered during our stay. We never like writing bad reviews but after not having a reply for 2 months after our stay we are forced too.
- Bed was uncomfortable (had to move)
- Nearly all the wardrobe doors were falling off
- Metal angles on the corners were coming off ( this got duct taped back!- not exactly 4 star standard)
- The Pool was cold and pump didn’t seem to be working or on as hair was floating on the surface (nobody else in there )
- No handle in the male changing room for the swimming pool.
All in all it was a shame we had this experience as the hotel is nice but just needs a lot of TLC and better customer service it seems.
Once again upset we had to write a bad review
3.0
Pros: excellent historical building with loads of original features. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Cons: stayed on a Monday, and this is an expensive "experience" hotel, yet all the bars or places you could sit and have a drink as a resident inside were closed. All day long. So it cost you a fortune and all you have is your room. Felt conned to be honest, was staying as special treat for big birthday celebration and visit to my roots. Further, despite nowhere to run up "incidentals", they insist on taking £50 off you at check in. As only had contactless on phone, this means they actually charge you £50, to be refunded on exit. I objected to this, saying I would pay if used the the non existent services, but they insisted it was policy.
Overall: it's a beautiful hotel let down by super high prices in one of the country's most deprived areas (I grew up here, in the flats opposite). This place should be accessible to people, almost like a museum. Instead it is so ridiculously priced that anyone who is not rich are priced out of of it. Big shame.

Loved the big room and design of the hotel.

The hotel room was huge with a living area and kitchenette and separate bedroom. The bathroom was very big with really nice toiletries.
6.0
Lovely building but accommodation is not up to a premium standard. Heating very high 25 degrees and difficult to adjust, basic items like bed side table absent, kitchen not equipped well, bathroom a little grotty. Good selection of toiletries but it’d take useful bedside tables over a free moisturiser!
6.0
The property looks great but rooms are in need of serious attention; we had to move room twice - the first because window curtain didn’t fully close allowing in light; second room change due to broken A/C. The third room also had an A/C issue but at that point not worth moving again. The hotel clearly needs to audit the condition/functionality of its rooms - the staff try manage the issues as they arise but this is a matter of property condition and ownership. Running down such a great asset makes little sense.
4.0
Unfortunately there was a film crew using the hotel which created a fair bit of noise from 7am.
The car alarm that was going off all night didn’t help.

4.0
The pool was closed for maintenance and we had no prior warning.
Front desk staff unbothered to the point of rude and a bit sarcastic. Letting down the impression to the other great staff in the bar/room service teams.
I came with a baby on my own in the room for my birthday and other girl friends who’d booked their own rooms - my husband had sent flowers and champagne to my room so the staff knew this.
No cot was ready. No one so much as held a door open and I was in a far flung wing of the building with 7 heavy fire doors to navigate.
It was also the worst possible room for being with a baby - loud both from the street and foyer, bed on an odd glass mezzanine with a sunken bath that didn’t drain properly. Huge room but the shower was an over the bath one in the middle of the bedroom next to the bed and zero lamps or soft lighting, just clinical white overhead lights throughout. A crime against interior design and good taste but also so impractical in every way.
Dressing gowns in the room but mine had a huge stain on it.
It was just one night and my friends rooms were better/more normal but in general it was quite shocking. I planned to tell staff on my way out but actually they couldn’t have cared any less whether we had a good stay or not so I left it.
I’ve stayed before and had a great time so I’m not sure why or how it’s gone so downhill. Maybe best to go for a cheaper room - this was a jr suite and I’ve honestly had better service at a premier inn

Terrible stay. So much wrong with this hotel. Service is poor and not welcoming. The hotel itself is not at all comfortable. The amenities are close to non-existent and the rooms are poorly maintained. Water damage and rotten frames in the bathroom, marks all over the walls, noisy air-conditioning, lights not all working, curtains that don't draw together, TV barely still attached to the wall - the list goes on.
The design of the room is also completely bizarre - clear glass wall between toilet & shower and overseen by the outlooking window which means for any privacy you have to close the curtains for the room every time you wish to us the bathroom.
No power sockets near he so called desk that is barely big enough to sit a laptop. Just terrible.
The hotel apparently has a bar/lounge but was informed it is closed to a private event for both nights I was there, basically meaning that they value their special events more than their hotel guests paying 5* prices to stay at the property.
Room service non-existent after 8pm.
Pool also closed.
Finally to top it off they sneakily apply 15% "service fee" to the check out invoice that they slide under your door before you depart. When queried this is apparently a discretional tip! Absolutely awful. Cannot more strongly discourage people from staying at this hotel. They do not deserve the business and quite how it claims to be a 5* hotel I do not know. The Moxy is 100 times more comfortable!
3.0
The rooms are spacious and it wasnt noisy. The location isnt close to anything much. When we didnt like the room (Junior Suite Delux) and were offered a double room instead (which we took) we were not offered a partial refund or even just a free drink at the bar - just a solid, no - somewhat lacking in customer service.
