Lights and shadows.... Choosen for the price... Rooms are not huge but with a good level of commodities ( tv,fridge, tiny bathroom ) our one seems an old depot transformed into little flat. Located not so far from Ilford metro station, that good, in very multicultural district. The issue starts into details/safety... Rooms are not exactly clean, at least for EU standards. Seems more close to an Hostel then Hotel. Please do something for the smell in the lobby!!!

My in-laws booked this. If you are from Europe you will feel like you get absolutely catastrophic price/performance ratio. Not worth more than 25£/night but they charge x5. This people have 0 knowledge how a family hotel should look like. Please avoid this and all similar „hotelier“. All you have to do just travel few miles out of Ilford to the north and you‘ll get a civilised accommodation for European prices. In their defense, one can only say that they are among the cheapest around. But that doesn't change my evaluation.

I stayed here for 2 nights while working in the area. The room was small but adequate and well heated.it isn’t in a great area and so there is often noise from the street. It is not the cleanest place there were some black marks on duvet cover. It had been cleaned though .

The room was clean and decent size. basic facilities were provided (mini fridge, kettle, microwave) and refreshments too. But perhaps one or two plates could have also been given to heat the food in the microwave. I had brought some food from the take away and couldn’t heat it as there were no plates. Also, I noticed some flies in the room. Maybe an insect’s treatment is needed for them but otherwise I had a comfortable stay. The receptionist was also very kind and helpful. He told us about the nearby shops and restaurants too so that we have a good stay in ilford.

Booked a stay here for a weekend in London. Initially, I was shocked by the location - down a very poorly lit, narrow street. Arrived for check-in and was greeted by a very friendly man, he was very chatty. …

Fab little independent hotel, I needed a room for one night as I had a day in Ilford working. After a long journey, being greeted as if I was a frequent visitor, an old friend with nothing too much trouble is what hospitality is all about for me.A simple comfortable and clean room was what the website offered and that's what I got.As a budget hotel, you won't get much better value for money. I'll be booking again when ever I'm visiting Ilford.
