 The booking in and payment systems are a bit cumbersome but nothing to worry about I would have given the hotel a top rating had it not been for the manager I was sitting in the lounge when he emerged from his office and started shouting abuse at the reception staff at the top of his voice in front of his customers He appeared generally ill natured and was also abrupt with the bar staff The owners could do better by replacing him 
 When I saw the promotional pictures of the RE I assumed that it was part of some standard chain such as Holiday Inn etc but it is actually a privately owned hotel of a high standard Spacious rooms immaculate cleanliness good food quality furnishing and d cor The operational staff were helpful and attentive but see don t likes Locationally it seems a bit odd but it is a short bus or taxi ride to Liverpool Street and a short walk from the very trendy London Fields area
