 No complaints about the room staff service or location There was a strong smell of curry in the reception area doubles as restaurant when I arrived but it never permeated into the hotel proper and security separating the two was good The smell was not there when I went out later or in the morning 
 The hotel was clean comfortable and the room was just as it appeared in the photos Yes the room was compact but I had done my homework so no surprise The shower room was perfectly adequate for a normal sized person All the usual stuff was provided clean towels toiletries tea coffee hairdryer etc It was a couple of minutes walk from Dalston Junction station and easy to find Very quiet no noise from traffic or other guests
