or
HI Commerial Road at 20,000 points

Appreciate your input
If you are doing the touristy thing I'd go with the indigo personally.

Commercial Rd is a very good hotel but it's a bit more out of things tbh. The DLR is two mins away though and Whitechapel tube is less than ten minutes walk plus the No15 will take you from the hotel straight to Trafalgar Sq. The hotel is modern and opened just before the Olympics and is cookie cutter whereas the Indigo has much more character.

If you know your way around London though and don't mind a 30 minute journey into the core of the city it's a saving of 50k in points.

If you do book Commercial Rd ask for a top floor room facing Cavell St and you will get a view of Canary Wharf in the distance. None of the lower floors have any view at all.
