Somewhere to go after night out.

This Hotel is very basic but great value for money, the staff were friendly and helpful at cheack in. The room was found clean, but housekeeping had forgotten to take bag of soiled nappies from the room, the staff were very apologetic about this. The bed was comfortable and slept well and the room was very quite, despite being on Bow Road. You could make yourself breakfast in the morning, toast, eggs and cereal.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
So the owner is very nice can’t do enough for you let me check in early which I was most grateful for. but the cleanliness let it down. the high areas of the room need dusted asap that includes the wardrobe top shelf and floor behind sink also kitchen could be a bit cleaner Although I did enjoy having access to a kitchenette but it’s a converted house so noise travels in that place. You hear the doorbell late at night it startles you I liked the fact that it was close to the UAL and the DLR station and Bow Road station is within walking distance to the lodge. There is also a laundrette and a convenience store next door which is better than the Asdas express. Westfield shopping complex on the DLR and it have late night shopping till 9 not a bad place to be honest

Very basic, but good value for money

Good value, polite check in (including an offer to carry my bag upstairs). Room far too hot and a bedside lamp would have been a welcome addition. Entry stair carpet needs a good clean, but the room itself was clean. However for an overnight stay it was good value and I would book again.

First of all, we booked at city lodge but was then told we are staying at their sister branch called city stay. Only the bathroom and bed was clean. Everything else was dirty. Stairs to room was very slippery. No access to anything to drink. Staff wasn't helpful at all and didn't even know how long we were staying for. Overall not great and was pleased to get home.

Dissapointing and tired

Whilst it was cheapish for london prices, the reasons were very clear on arrival, the room was like a tiny well used bedsit, very small, and the ensuite bathroom was filthy, the grouting in the bathroom was black wirh heavy use, the toilet area smelled of urine, and the bedroom area was in serious need of decirating the floor boards creaked badly, and overall, the whole building (or what we saw) was in need of serious refurbishment.

We went to property. But when we go there they have no rooms available. Then person who was in the reception call to some one and talk something in another language. One point he ask to cancel the booking. Then I was arguing with him. After he send me to near property to satay in the night. I paid for room including breakfast. Place we was stay in there is no breakfast. I have no option to claim my money. You can talk to property and ask about it.
