Find all hotels by Highgate Independent in Ongar

"The best thing this hotel has going for it is the view. Unfortunately, the rest falls short. The staff is not particularly friendly or helpful, and the property is currently undergoing renovations—likely because it hasn’t been updated in decades. The rooms are especially disappointing: dark, outdated carpeting, disintegrating curtains, and worn, unappealing bedspreads make the space feel neglected. While the manager, Amara, was lovely and did his best to assist, there’s only so much that can be done given the condition of the property. Housekeeping offers a voucher if you choose to skip service, but it’s provided somewhat reluctantly, which adds to the overall underwhelming experience."

"Rooms are small but clean and comfortable "

"The room was incredible. It was clean with a great view of the London bridges and Big Ben. The staff was very accommodating. The breakfast was perfect and fresh."

"Wonderful hotel in the heart of London close to many sites, restaurants, and bus stops. We loved our stay here and would highly recommend."

"Very stressful to turn up, having booked months in advance to tell me my booking on the hotels.com app had been lost (‘failed to integrate’ apparently)! Not the calm check-in experience I hoped for pre-marathon day. Once a room was found for me, after a prolonged delay, the actual stay was very pleasant & the location perfect."

"Yes breakfast was good "

"Poor quality hotel room , dirty walls"

"Kept awake by maintenance hammering in the room above us to 11pm then woken up again to the sound of hammering and power tools at 8am in the morning. Room was not soundproof as we could hear people arguing in the room beside us. Hallway carpets covered in stains."

"Good, clean room, on the small side but what you would expect with the room descriptions. Quick check in. Lacking tea/coffee and pens etc from rooms which would have been nice."
