I recently stayed at the Whitechapel Hotel for 2 nights. The Hotel is based on quite a busy road in Whitechapel with plenty of shops and restaurants along it. Once we checked into to hotel, we had to wait several minutes for the elevator to arrive. Once we got into our room, we were extremely disappointed in terms of the size of the room. You could barely get around between the wall and the beds. I thought our room would be decent as we got the premier twin room instead of the standard. I did not like the shower either, the floor was not leveled properly and the water went everywhere on the floor which was a slipping hazard too. Our shower made a loud whistling sound as it turned on. On the Sunday, we were woken up by the sound of the fire alarm going off. The hotel staff did not tell us anything about a fire drill going off at all. I also noticed that the minibar was incredibly expensive and I would not recommend buying from it. Whenever I stepped out of the room, I immediately got a smell of curry and other food in the hallway even though the restaurant is several floors below us. The air con did not work properly, it kept on shutting off and wasnt cold. The main lights were extremely bright and the lamp by the bed did not work. I also noticed that there was hairs in the bed sheets and in the towels.

Overall, I would not recommend staying at this hotel and I do not believe that the hotel should be rated a 4 star hotel. We certainly did not have 4 star experience.
