Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Extremely basic, the room had a very strong,spicy smell which also got into the fibre of the towels which had a very strong smell. I think it came from the kitchen as they were making curry meals to order as part of the hotel service. At the side of main route in London so was noisy for the whole time of our stay

Good little hotel especially for the price. Only real issue I had was that there wasn’t enough plugs in the room. Also was a bit noisy from the main road but that was expected considering its location, I just took some ear plugs and was fine.

Cheap for the area for a reason.

The shower room smelt horrible as though the drains were backed up and it was disgusting. The tv remote didn’t work so had to get that changed. The bed was uncomfy. The noise from the walls as though someone was running the shower most of the night was unbearable . Even recorded the noise.

Very basic/budget

Very much budget and there was a clear reason it was cheaper than anywhere else! So I booked it as it would allow 3 adults in the same room instead of forcing us into a second room. It served its purpose but that was it. Would have appreciated a kettle in the room but when I went back and checked the website, it didn’t list the room contents as having a kettle so that was my mistake. Our room cards were temperamental, as was the card slot to give the room lights - we got back to our room late at night and couldn’t get either of our cards to work the lights. Shower very slow to drain and risked flooding the shower room. I’ve been in these kinds of budget rooms before but this just seemed even more budget in nature!

Great Value for Money

Approxiamtely 14 minute walk from the nearest tube Barking. But you can pick up taxis which is a 5 minute drive. Reception service was quick and prompt. Room was compact but clean and tidy. Room soundproof. Although next to main road once window was closed very quiet. Had a good nights sleep. Continential breakfast is available and drinks obtained via reception.

Me and My wife stayed here for three nights. The rooms very small and few facilities, you can hardly move around in the room It’s very far from the city center for commuting, even about 20 minutes from the bus or train stations. The first day we came for breakfast, they asked us which room we were in and then said that you do not have breakfast, if we had a free breakfast voucher, we informed them that she was not polite and said that this had nothing to do with me and that it was a system problem. You can answer with good literature but she was just arguing and this is not logical. In the end, you can have better options.

Permanent stench of cigarette smoke

It's a pretty depressing hotel. Our room absolutely stank of cigarette smoke which wouldn't clear even when we left the window open (as far as it would open, at least, which was minimal). The bedding was also pretty poor. The only good thing was the bathroom which was fairly nice and modern. The lift and decor outside our room were decrepit. Wouldn't trust any of the catering. To top it all off, when we tried to claim compensation for the cigarette smell etc, it was refused.
