Don't bother - awful and dirty

Bedroom and bathroom were dirty (probably hadn't been properly cleaned in a while). Light pullcord in bathroom was disgusting and the toilet seat broken. There was hair in the shower and stains on the sheets. The room was very shabby and tired. Beds were uncomfortable. Reception didn't seem to care when issues were raised.

One time stay only

The hotel was clean & tidy. Staff were helpful & friendly. The bed needs replacing, for what they charge you’d expect better quality beds. Towels were small & no shower gel or hand wash in the bathrooms. Every time you moved it squeaked & felt it would fall apart. I wouldn’t stay again

Don’t do it.

Hotel is difficult to find, and not in a particularly safe area. Although the price was cheaper than other options, it was still not worth the money. The rooms aren’t cleaned well and the facilities are pretty horrible. For some reason they want you to leave your room key when you go out for the day too. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all.

Poor service, poor maintenance

I had booked 2 rooms for my family (inc 2 teens). Service on arrival was poor. Argumentative and lack of any caring attitude. Received a request to see evidence that the kids were ours. Also they wanted to see ID for our kids and my partner. They also showed us ID of other guests (breach of Data protection), this proved though they only took 1 person's ID. The hallways were soaked in water which were slippery. The rooms looked clean when entering but we found chair and fan broken. In one of the rooms, no towels were provided at all. The showers were dirty. Used soap in the shower tray. The shower frame (to hold the shower head to wall) was broken. Dirty rooms as we found empty bottles and rubbish down sides of bed. Barely any plug sockets and the ones we did find did not work. Windows were difficult to close so had to suffer with the noise from outside.

We knew it was a 2* so expectations were low - but it was grim. The condition of the room was appalling but given we were rushing to make a gig had no time to challenge. Broken lights. Bare bulbs. Broken locks. Plastic matress with tired bed linen that did not fit. Suspicious gunk on wall. Poor 70s DIY bathroom. Broken toilet seat. Curtains hanging by a thread. £150 is an outrageous fee and I have stayed in better accomodation backpacking in 3rd world countries. Miserable. Looking at previous reviews they are clearly binary in nature - genuine and fake? Many 'Excellent' 10s with no narrative and single names. These elevate the score to a 2*. So very disappointed and not a little miffed at being duped. Had an intense need to get home and have a shower upon leaving. Brings Hotel.com reputation into question. Suspiciously unable to upload photos...

I booked the accommodation last minute as mine fell through it was the best price in the area and the room offered was too big but only opinion presented even though smaller and cheaper were available. Disappointing. For the money the hotel is very basic. The entrance isn’t obvious and I arrived late so I felt a little unsafe. The staff were very helpful and attentive I can’t fault them at all. The place was very clean but so basic and over priced for what you get. The room had a wardrobe but no hangers. There was a little bar of soap only in the bathroom. There was no cups in the room. Just these little things could improve the place a little. It was adequate for what I needed but I was overall disappointed as it was over priced for what I got.

Parking was £20 to literally just put outside of the front door. There was a very unpleasant smell during the stay. There was one microwave at the bottom of the stairs to heat your food which didn’t look clean. Very unhappy with the stay for the price paid.

Ideal room for a single traveller. Bed mattress needs changing. It was quiet enough. Not much of a view from a window to a roof and a bit of petrol station. The area around the hotel looks dirty, but hotel itself is clean. Lack of kettle in the room has been replaced with a communial kettle in the foyer.

This place is tucked behind a gas station in Hackney and there's lots of good restaurants and shops in the area. The rooms are basic and the staff are friendly and helpful.

I like rahjeh on reception. However expedia said that you could pay on arrival. Infact the payment tried to be taken prior on the day and due to it being an old card, payment was not taken. The room was then cancelled. Luckily they were able to give us one of the disabled rooms, however we did not have our own bathroom. Staff were very friendly and helpful
