Asked for 3 single beds on booking details via Expedia, but unfortunately wasn’t available up on arrival. Info not showing on hotel system? Had to settle for a double & single, receptionist did try to accommodate.
The room & bathroom was clean with hot fast flowing water. Not the biggest of bathrooms.
Just a few little picky things:
The kettle was too large to fit in the sink / under the tap for water.
The room could have had a couple of pictures of the local area / London etc.
Maybe a splash of colour on one wall instead of just white with grey carpet.
I would recommend & use again for good value for money.

Nice walk away from some great sights in area (birthplace of Alfred Hitchcock) and trains as well. Manager was very helpful, only issue was door was a little sticky and needed a tug/push to close when leaving or going into room.

An average stay
My stay here was good, although the room was a bit sparse of anything, such as a teaspoon for hot drinks and some shower gel in the shower, these would’ve been appreciated. Also, a large amount of dust in the bathroom.

Basic hotel with small room but comfy bed, decent shower and tv. Location good 10 min walk from Wanstead and Snaresbrook tube stations. Rooms are at a no frills price so was surprised to find tea and coffee making and a scent diffuser. Sadly there were no spoons, the milk cartons were off and the scent had run out

This is an old apartment converted as a hotel. Rooms looks clean but it doesn't feel clean with old carpet and beds. I can see they are trying hard to make it clean and good but somehow it doesn't feel like a hotel.

Lovely host. Clean sheets and fresh towels each day but the room is tired and could do with a deep clean. Bathroom also needs some attention. No food options on site, although there is a tescos in walking distance. Parking is limited. That said, not a bad price given location, will probably be back.

it was clean, easy to warm up the room, self contained, easy to access. your list above is otherwise irrelevant - there was no dining option , shopping or parking. but both leytonstone and wanstead / snaresbrook were in easy walking distance

The beds creaked and the shower did not drain properly. Walls had dirt splashes on them, especially near the trash can areas. Would not recommend.

Adequate
Adequate for a one night stay away on a business trip. Room had iron, hairdryer, TV and tea/ coffee making facilities. However room was very small. No breakfast available. Reception not permanently staffed and doorbell must be rung to gain access on arrival. I was also woken up in the early hours by a loud and lengthy conversation - presumably someone checking in late. Might stay again at a push but not if an alternative was available.
