 Check in took 10 minutes Last time I stayed at a Premier Inn it took 10 seconds and cost 10 of the price The room was connected via tablets and an Android powered interface none of it worked I couldn t have a shower when I arrived because I couldn t turn the bathroom light on An engineer was sent to fix it In the middle of the night it cut out again stopping the aircon and causing me a hot uncomfortable night s sleep There were no instructions on how to use the phone Reception didn t answer when I called Then when I finally got hold of them they didn t know if they offered a pressing service It s a real shame and somewhat ironic that the flagship hotel of London Tech City as they proudly brand their gowns can t provide technology that works To compound it all although admittedly not their fault there is a huge construction site next door and I was awoken at 9am on a Saturday by hammering and drilling Overall a very disappointing and expensive experience 
 In theory this is a smashing hotel A gorgeous building and modern to a fault Unfortunately in reality it is a great concept badly executed The room service was excellent however
