        Excellent”

        The facility has a generator but for some reason this was not operated during scheduled power outages. I can understand this during the day, but on two of the nights that we were there, we had power out from 21h00 to 00h00, and so had to sit in the dark, with only torches, and no access to things such as tv. The tv bouquet is also pretty limited.

        I travel at least once a week for work purposes and thus get to experience many guesthouses and hotels. I really enjoyed the stay at Arum. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and quite. Breakfast was amazing and actually served great coffee. I also appreciated the effort put on by staff such as Camryn. She is friendly, witty and profesional. Arum will be my go-to accommodation in East London from now on.
