The breakfast was typically English, very rich and fresh. It was always replenished. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, only cash payment was possible, even in the associated bar. ATMs are only 50m away.The rooms have air conditioning, the beds are ok and the bathroom was extremely large by English standards. Great view from the 3rd floor with sunrise for free! 😄The location of the hotel may not be to everyone's taste, but if you want to get to know London in a different way, you can get interesting impressions here. We had a few beers in the hotel bar “The Ruskin Arms” in the evening. We were also able to eat the pizza we had brought with us there, no problem.It's a 15 minute walk to the East Ham tube station or 3 stops by bus. The stop is 50m from the hotel. We recommend taking line 104 to Stanford Station. Takes about 45 minutes and you drive through the middle of residential areas. Very interesting!!Than I would book here again!

I stayed there, the heating, the bathroom and the service were very good but the last night there was a party of African people and it made the whole building ring, we couldn't sleep, I had to leave there, some receptionists are very rude

Fairly clean hotel, breakfast not very varied but not bad. Neighborhood inhabited mainly by Indians and Arabs, but ultimately quiet. Excellent connection with the subway and buses that stop in front of the hotel

Quite cheap hotel.Staff top.Cleanliness of the rooms was great.The breakfast isn't great, there's not much choice and everything is packed in plastic. There is a much better breakfast a 2-minute walk away for the price.The pictures on the homepage promise more than what is actually there.The rooms are in need of renovation.

It's a surprisingly good hotel considering the run down neighbourhood. Quite long walk from the tube on an dirty road with quite a few grocery shops and fast food places. 7" pizza for 1.99, although at this price is too fishy. The reception and check in is like a 2-3 star hotel. The room I had was refurbished no longer than 12 months ago and was clean. Plenty of storage and towel. Good sound insulation. Air conditioning. Mains socket next to bed so one can have the phone on bedside table while sleeping - you would wonder how many hotels have the socket in the opposite side of room. All you can eat English breakfast what puts even sone 4 star hotels at shame because fresh vegetables were served. 4 stars only because of the distance from public transport.
