The rooms are average. Just basic bed and a fan. Very few amenities. Mostly old decor and old furniture.
No air conditioning while temperatures were 35C.
Staff was the best especially Mehr, Max and Olga.

The hotel is in an excellent, highly accessible location close to shops and restaurants. Our room was clean and tidy, though limited parking meant we were lucky to find a space. Unfortunately, the room's furniture was damaged and unusable, which impacted our comfort.
Absolutely do not book here Booked for 4 nights No hot water in taps couldn’t even have a shave Very damp smell not even light covers on ceiling lights led panel on view Absolutely no way would I book here again
Room had bed bugs and refused to return money, staff was useless. Honestly don't even want to go back to London because of such a bad experience. If I could give negative stars I would. I don't know how this place is still running.
Its smell bad in corridor and no parking available

The room and the hallways smelled strongly of urine. They take a £50 deposit from you and ask for a lot of information once you check it, even if it was all pre paid. Overall it left us feeling uneasy and we will not come back.
Warning , you will be asked give all your details on arrival even if you have already given them all to book the hotel. You will have to pay £100 deposit upfront on top of your arrival. I stayed for 2 days ago and I’m still waiting for the deposit back, I have called the hotel and they are blaming the bank . The parking is very limited and all on street parking is expensive but free at 6:30pm . I would not stay here again

Booked a double room, was given a ground floor family room. Problem was it was street level, so couldn't hVe window open. Next door was a family room and whoever was above me must have been running with concrete boots, especially at 1am and 7am, where the ceiling was thundering for an hour each time. Rooms were functional but dated. Staff were great and went to speak to the noise makers when I went to reception. Location is 2 mins from Ilford Station, and opposite the exchange, so top notch location
No Parking , No Breakfast; too many stairs ... no lift , beds are pathetic , broken base ...., expire mattresses ; no foam left inside only feel the springs.....
shower no water Pressure ... no body wash ... drugs smells on the way to Rooms...
