Kip Hotel

AC was bust so had to sleep in the humid cubicle, convenient location with supplied fan but it did not assist.

The room is small but clear, the bed is single instead of double bed as mentioned on the description, location is nice but sound proof is horrible, kept hearing the room next door walking around or packing throughout the night. Other than that, everything is brilliant.

Good place for solo traveller. I booked this single room with a double bed, sharing a bath room with other two mates in the same suite. Easy to commute: overground steps away. But I’d say it’s a hotel somewhere between hostel and an actual hotel — each gets individual rooms but compromising some facilities like sunlight, ventilation, common areas. Although each gets independent spaces, sound proof wasn’t so well that I can still hear my neighbor snoring 🥺 But if the price goes well it’s not a bad choice.

We booked for 3 people. 2 adults and 1 child and there was only 2 single beds. The lady at the reception asked for nearly £100 for an upgrade and blamed the website and says there’s nothing she can do to help us. Trip.com was wonderful and offered to pay the extra they ask us back for the mistake. But thanks to the staff that clearly don’t care when a problem like this arises. They supposedly cannot access how many people are on the booking. There’s no hairdryer in the ‘2 single bedroom’ or kettle etc. the room was nice and clean itself, for 2 single people it’s perfect, it does have aircon and a fan which is a nice addition for the summer which not many hotels offer. But don’t offer 3 people to book a bedroom if there’s only allowed a max of 2 people!

Front desk service can be improved as the receptionist was really not friendly. Booked for a large double, gave us a twin room and insisted that the room they offered was a double. (They said that "the system said it was a double".) It was funny (yet humiliating) that they asked if we were sure it was a twin. If two single beds aren't a twin, then surely it was our problem. They didn't have other rooms for us to switch so that was it. Relatively cheap for London and the quality is certainly compromised.

Friendly staff, location is nice if you want to stay at Hackney. Overground and buses are just around the corner, supermarket and many restaurants around. Bathroom is clean, wifi is good for zoom calls
