First of all the woman at the counter was not helpful, she didn’t have answers to basic questions. I wasn’t even given a bill or receipt on leaving, my security deposit hasn’t been credited to me till now even after so many days of checkout, what kind of hotel is this that it takes the security deposit for so many days and there is no refund till now. Anyone not willing to lose their money should not book this hotel. The staff especially the female ones seems very unaware, unhelpful and clearly not trained for hospitality. Where is my security deposit?

The room was good. The bed was very uncomfortable though and there was dust and bugs on the headboard. I booked this for the free parking but for 30 rooms they only have 3 parking spaces And a possibility of another 5 on the opposite of the road. Of course all spaces were taken so I couldn't park there. Staff were very helpful.

My overall rating is Poor service/system! And I am not happy about the 100pd deposit policy. I didn’t read that article anywhere during my bookings; what is not ok for me are: 1. How surprised I was when I was told at the check-in that I need to pay the deposit (what will have happened if I didn’t have that in my account). 2. The deposit was then taken from my account “immediately”, why can’t it be returned also “immediately” and it has to take some days? That is a silly system. This is what may not make me want to be in a place like that again. 3. The staff don’t really have time to talk/explain things well to customers according to my observation. I need my 100p, you took it; I should not be the one to chase my bank to refund

I stayed at lucky 8 with my brother for my birthday for 2 nights. I had an absolutely terrible time! The room was filthy and It had silver fish under the sheets! Absolutely disgusting and when we were shown towards the room I asked the staff member Steve if they had condiments and shampoo etc and he replied saying 'we do not provide condoms' here' I was outraged as he knew it was my brother in the twin room I booked with my brother. There were rats outside. People screaming and shouting. The room stank especially the bathroom. And ontop of it all they took £100 deposit on top of the payment for the stay and was told it would be given back after 36 hours after our stay, and it hasn't been reembersed after over a week ago! Do no stay there under any circumstances. Disgraceful

I thought ilford as an area was awful, didn’t feel safe at all, got to reception and had to pay £100 deposit for any damages which I didn’t know about, thought that was a bit extreme. Got into room and the heat hit me straight away, small, dark, dingey room with the smallest window which barely let any air in. Noisy in corridors, broken shower. Didn't sleep because of the heat and being bitten by something throughout the night. Hated it and won’t stay again.

I booked this hotel based on its advertised images, but was shocked by the vast difference upon arrival. The hotel photos online were completely misleading and bore no resemblance to the actual condition of the property. And said 3 stars, you can’t even call it a 1 star. Worst room ever. I ask the following morning after our check in if we can move to other room they said no available room, not helpful at all. Furnitures is more worst than you see in garbage area, The furniture was old, worn, and had rips/tears. Bad smells you can smell from open window, room had a strong, musty odor and lots of insects outside literally checked out early didn’t finish our 1 day stay more because I got lots of insect bite. The overall state of the room made it impossible to feel comfortable or relax. Stay away from this hotel. Misleading pictures and rating. I even took pictures of all furnitures inside and etc. worst hotel.

Room was very unpleasant, horrible smelling fridge in the corner, pretty sure there's people living there and they are loud. The stench coming from some of the rooms was disgusting and made the hole corridor smell. Will never stay here again.

Rooms felt dirty. Strange characters hanging around outside/ at reception.people seemed on drugs. One lady falling up the stairs. They had to reset our room key everyday for security but they made up some story about how your mobile phone affects the key card. Not a family friendly hotel. I was with my partner and did not feel safe

The room i was given is definitely a hazard during hot weather. One could die of heat stroke in that room! I don't care what you do, you cannot get air in that room without an AC! The fan provided was absolutely useless! I couldn't sleep at all throughout the night due to the horrendous heat. Had to drown myself in a cold shower twice just to cool down and even that wasn't enough! I gave up and started packing to leave at 4am! It was that terrible! The person next door to me seemed to be having a mental breakdown of some sort, he slammed his door shut throughout the night and you could smell his cannabis in the room and hallway as he smoked! The room itself was decent but the overall experience was awful. I will only stay here for the location and easy access to everywhere but definitely NOT during summer!
