Waltham Abbey Hotel Guide - Family Friendly Hotels in Waltham Abbey, London

Great stay, very impressed. Was extremely clean, friendly staff and everything we wanted!

The building from the outside is large and old fashioned, lots of great features instead and quirky decor which we loved. Really handy location 10 minutes from tube station. The hostel had a huge dining room and comfortable lounge area near the front desk to relax in. Our main issue was the lack of organisation as it was not made clear how things worked so we spent a lot of time waiting around and going back and forth to our room. Here is the low down: you have to pay a £10 key deposit and also pay for your towels at the front desk. Towels cost £2 each with a £3 deposit each. When checking out you have to bring your towels down to the front desk to put in the basket before you can get your deposit back. If you order breakfast you have the option of continental (no waiting) or cooked (lots of waiting!) and you have to bring your paperwork with you to say what you have ordered. We ordered cooked and waited 50 minutes before it arrived and when it did it was warm but nice. The issue seems to be that there is only 1 front of house person who checks people's breakfast requests and also goes back and forth to the kitchen. The room was fine for what we paid; bunk bed with a small but functional shower and toilet room. The main issues for us here was the lack of ventilation, it was almost suffocatingly hot and the noise; windows are single pane so it was noisy from traffic noise all night. However it sufficed as we were only there for 1 night.

We stayed for 8 nights, using this hotel as a base for our sightseeing in and around London. Very conveniently located to a tube station, we had only a short walk to the Northern Line and we were off on each daily adventure. It is a budget-minded hotel, but had everything we needed. Many restaurants in the neighborhood and lively club opportunities -- although our room was quiet and serene each night. The staff were all very friendly, helpful, and responsive to our needs. The breakfast was much appreciated and allowed us to start each day efficiently. Exactly the same food every day, but enough variety that it was not a problem for us.

Don't expect anything special it's a basic hotel with breakfast Nice location

Room was surprising big for two of us. Comfortable stay. But could do with air conditioning in the rest area a separate room. Location is good. Yes worth coming back. This is our second stay.

At first the site is a bit confusing as it's spread out over multiple buildings, but the staff are extremely helpful. A porter directed me to the reception building, and they had the same person take me over to my building and make sure I was set up. They had great service, wifi in the room, and good rooms.

Excellent hotel in a great location. Would defiantly stay here again.

It is a bit strange that the hotel reception is at a different location to the apartments. The aircon did not work and there was a washing machine in there that did not work either. Besides this the apartment was clean and very spacious.

We stayed 2 nights, room quite small but comfortable and clean. Basic breakfast included. Very convenient to Paddington station, tubes and Heathrow Express.
