The stay was pretty much clean and the host gave instructions very clearly. The room size is perfect. Not too small, not too big either. The washrooms are shared and there are 3 of them. So never actually faced a problem with them. The area around the place at night is always a little dirty and might seem a little shady (though nothing happened). Lots of restaurants around the place and walking distance from a lot of attractions like the tower bridge.

The rooms are exactly as shown, bed, dresser & side table. There is no air conditioning, and not sure of the part of town we were in, but the people were loud, so it was either not get any sleep with the window open, or roast to death with the window closed. Not a huge fan of the shared bathroom, but again, it was stated it was shared.

We were in the double room with shared bathroom. Due to plane delay, we had to opt with late check in and we arrived a little after 10. Check in process was easy and Mr. Nicola was very kind in showing us our room and letting us know how the doors work. The bathroom was also always clean and we didn’t hear much noise from neighboring rooms. Outside, however, is very noisy. Since there is no AC we had the window open and could hear everything. There is also a market that gets set up very early I believe every Sunday morning which disturbed sleep. Other than that stay was perfect!

My wife and I had a great 3 night stay at this hotel. We booked a double room with a shared bathroom. The room was small but had everything we needed, especially since we were out most of the time. Despite being in the city, it was fairly quiet at night. The walls are a bit thin, so you can hear some noise, but for the price, it’s excellent value. The location is also very convenient, with everything you need close by.

Great location

Basic accommodation in a great location. We had a private bathroom which made life easier, the shared kitchen is a nice touch but a kettle in the room would have been a God send. Check in was easy enough and the girl who met us was lovely. That said she was the only member of staff we saw during our 4 night stay, not that this was a problem for us. Small room with nowhere to sit other than the bed, fine for a short and activity packed stay but would not have been comfortable for any longer period of time. Very convenient for Tube station , shops and the vibrant Brick Lane area. Not suitable for those who mobility issues due to lots of stairs and no lifts. Great value for money, cheap for London

1st, I sent an email on 9/14/24 to the property owner asking if towels and linens were included with the stay so that I could be prepared ahead of time. Not 1 response.
2nd, the day prior to my arrival, the Owner emailed to ask me what time I would be checking in because there are late fees for check-ins past 10PM. Still no response regarding my email about linens & towels.
I called to ask for direction to his establishment because there were no visible signs on the street. His 1st response was \"what phone # did you call me on? WhatsApp?\" Thought that was odd, but ok. He tells me to wait on the street corner about a block away and he will come get me. His version of getting me was sticking his head out of the door and screaming my name. odd, but again, ok.
I get inside and had quite a bit of luggage, and this man watched me struggle the entire time of hauling it up 3 flights of stairs.
He and his daughter (I believe it was, or possibly his wife) escorted me to my room, but not after the owner took a very nasty bowel movement in the guest bathroom, and then had the audacity to show me the room.
Once I got to the room i'd be staying in, the 1st thing I notice is the smell and the loud noise of the street workers. The window was being propped propped with a
stick, the room had a musk smell and the noise on the street would have been way to loud to sleep.
Finally, they tell me there is no one on the property between the hours of 1pm to 10pm.

Bargain price for a no frills stay

For the price my stay was fantastic. Under £100 on a Saturday night in the center of London is rare.
Check in was easy.
The room was clean, bed was comfy. No frills in the room as I expected for a one night stay in which a bed was all that was required after a night out with friends. But there was plenty of space for me.
The shared bathrooms weren't a problem, I didn't see anybody else the whole time I was there. I didn't use the kitchen other than to fill my water bottle up but it was very clean and well equipped by the looks of it.

In the morning on a Sunday the room was really quiet which is more than I can say for my friends staying in a branded hotel right next to Tower Hill train tracks and they paid double the price.
No AC on a hot night but a fan was in the room which did the job.
Overall I was very happy I chose to stay at Monopoly Apartments.

I so appreciate Monopoly Accommodations. If you are a traveller that needs non-shared bathroom and kitchen conveniences, then Monopoly is not the choice. I appreciate the fellow travelers I meet, and the location is perfect for exploring the East End, or getting to research institutes, such as the British Library and National Archive, King's College London and Roehampon University. After a day of research, I love coming home to Petticoat Lane, and the breakfast nook around the corner, Potter and Reid, is a must. I have stayed at Monopoly two years in a row and have not even considered changing. I am a repeat guest!

Great affordable option in the East End of London, near the London Tower. 5 mins away from one tube station and 10 mins away from another. Right near Brick Lane, with lots of Bangladeshi and Middle Eastern food, street art and vintage shops. The room was basic but had everything we needed and the bed was comfy. Though we didnt cook in the shared kitchen, it was handy for keeping cool drinks and snacks on hand. Lots of food options nearby (visit Nora's for breakfast) and a Tesco 5 mins away if you want to pick up groceries.
