Signature Hotel London

10/10 Excellent

"clean room, a lot of shops around, functional air conditioning. Would recommend!"

Ilford Grand Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was clean enough for me to feel comfortable showering and placing my stuff on the floor, which are thinfs i rarely feel comfortable doing in a hotel. Apart from a small layer of dust on a shelf beside the bed the place was extremely clean. We felt safe and welcomed and were helped with smiles when we came across any problems. The only downside to the stay was just how warm the room was, however it was still not unbearable considering the heatwave and we were happy to have access to the air conditioned downstairs. I would highly recommend staying here ."

Six Bells Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"I had a fantastic stay and was genuinely impressed by the room. It was modern, spotless, and equipped with everything you could need, including a fridge, wardrobe with plenty of hangers, hair dryer, kettle, and a lovely large shower. The thoughtful extras were a great touch too, with cereal, biscuits, bottled water, and Ribena provided. As the accommodation is attached to a pub, I wasn't sure what to expect, but the room exceeded all my expectations. It was comfortable, well maintained, and had everything needed for a relaxing stay. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great value and excellent accommodation."
