The A?C fan took sometime to get going. There was one light blub switch that is broken that was connected to lamps just over the bed. Good part was the blubs had another switch just on the other side of second bed, so we could switch off the lights. Apart from that, great location but I find rooms are bit small.

Staff at Clayton are always beyond the best! So accommodating and friendly, and the hotel rooms are always sparkling. As a solo traveler I always feel safe staying with them.
Great location close to the tube which makes travel around London very easy. Staff and service are very professional. Rooms are fabulous, extremely comfortable with great facilities. Only minor criticism is the TV service which frequently malfunctioned during my stay
Breakfast was good- English breakfast. Rooms were comfortable, very nice bathroom. Aldgate east station is directly opposite so it’s super convenient to get around and just a short train ride to major attractions
This is the second time we stayed at the Clayton and it did not disappoint! Raj was the star of the show once again. His kindness and helpfulness is unsurpassed. Clean and comfy rooms, great location and the staff is friendly. Definitely stay here if possible!
