Fulfilled a purpose. Reception staff fine.No plug in the sink, water to shower took ages to get warm, never mind hot. Soap dispensers didn't work - but never mind: there was nothing in them anyway. I couldn't have a shower; I had a rinse.Breakfast choice highly restricted. No bacon or sausages - it's owned/run by Muslims, so not surprisibg. I ordered cereal for rrasons best known to himself, the waiter stuck it in the microwave & served it hot. I sent it back.If £75/night is good value then it was good value.

This is a basic hotel for a short term booking. If all you need is a good place to sleep and no luxuries in the east of London, then this could be the place for you. The bed was ok and the facilities too. Nothing fancy but functional. …

You get what you pay for, and I personally didn’t feel ripped off by these guys outside the breakfast, which was horribly underwhelming and didn’t offer any meat options. At the end of the day, the world still needs affordable and accessible lodging and that’s what this hotel can offer.The good: affordable and was available last minute when I needed a place to stay- I booked the night before checking in and it was the only affordable hotel in London left. It’s close to the bus station that’ll take you to Stratford station. Nearby laundromat, pubs, and some budget friendly take aways. The staff was very friendly.The bad: like I said, no laundry but I’m wondering if that may be a different standard here as opposed to the USA where laundry is fairly universal for hotels and even hostels. The breakfast wasn’t good at all and I even skipped it my second day, so DO NOT prepay for it with your stay. The shower situation was odd- the bathroom floor is essentially the shower floor, so be prepared for the floor to be wet for hours after showering. There was also no nightstand.

Need to make people aware this hotel is more like a hostel. Very basic room. No tea making facilities in rooms. No separate shower, just one big wet room which smelt of sewage. ||Only ideal if on a tight budget and only need somewhere to get a couple hours sleep!! Not a place to relax and wind in!!

Definitely wouldn't class it as a hotel, it's more of a hostel. Rooms were bog standard but we didn't pay much so that's alright but the rooms still weren't the cleanest and the drains kept stinking out the bathroom. The only God send was the big fan in the room since we went during a heatwave.

Absolutely awful, dreadful hotel. my room was on the 2nd floor and I could barely get inside the tiny room because it was filled mostly by a double bed with barely enough legroom to move around. the bedsheets were grubby and the toilet was abysmal. I paid 70 quid for one night but I checked out a few hours later as I didn't wish to stay the night in such an awful place. no tea or coffee making facilities, no cups, TV didn't work. noisy road outside, inconvenient location for access to Stratford International station but feels like you are in a 3rd world country its so remote and dreadful conditions. this is the singularly worst hotel I have ever "stayed" in. would never ever come back. way way overpriced for what it offered. very very bad perception of the place. never again

We stayed here when attending Comic Con at ExCel London. First off, you can't expect much from the hotel for the low price, especially in London. The price for myself and two daughters for one night was £64. …
