I thought ilford as an area was awful, didn’t feel safe at all, got to reception and had to pay £100 deposit for any damages which I didn’t know about, thought that was a bit extreme. Got into room and the heat hit me straight away, small, dark, dingey room with the smallest window which barely let any air in. Noisy in corridors, broken shower. Didn't sleep because of the heat and being bitten by something throughout the night. Hated it and won’t stay again.

I booked this hotel based on its advertised images, but was shocked by the vast difference upon arrival. The hotel photos online were completely misleading and bore no resemblance to the actual condition of the property. And said 3 stars, you can’t even call it a 1 star. Worst room ever. I ask the following morning after our check in if we can move to other room they said no available room, not helpful at all. Furnitures is more worst than you see in garbage area, The furniture was old, worn, and had rips/tears. Bad smells you can smell from open window, room had a strong, musty odor and lots of insects outside literally checked out early didn’t finish our 1 day stay more because I got lots of insect bite. The overall state of the room made it impossible to feel comfortable or relax. Stay away from this hotel. Misleading pictures and rating. I even took pictures of all furnitures inside and etc. worst hotel.

Room was very unpleasant, horrible smelling fridge in the corner, pretty sure there's people living there and they are loud. The stench coming from some of the rooms was disgusting and made the hole corridor smell. Will never stay here again.

Rooms felt dirty. Strange characters hanging around outside/ at reception.people seemed on drugs. One lady falling up the stairs. They had to reset our room key everyday for security but they made up some story about how your mobile phone affects the key card. Not a family friendly hotel. I was with my partner and did not feel safe

The room i was given is definitely a hazard during hot weather. One could die of heat stroke in that room! I don't care what you do, you cannot get air in that room without an AC! The fan provided was absolutely useless! I couldn't sleep at all throughout the night due to the horrendous heat. Had to drown myself in a cold shower twice just to cool down and even that wasn't enough! I gave up and started packing to leave at 4am! It was that terrible! The person next door to me seemed to be having a mental breakdown of some sort, he slammed his door shut throughout the night and you could smell his cannabis in the room and hallway as he smoked! The room itself was decent but the overall experience was awful. I will only stay here for the location and easy access to everywhere but definitely NOT during summer!

We arrived at reception a little early but were seen promptly. Once paid and deposit taken we were handed keys and told our room was outside round the corner. This wasn't clear when we booked. We were given directions to what looked like converted houses and our room was on the 2nd floor which wasn't what we needed after a long trip. We made our way up to the room. The room itself was what you would expect for the price. The bed itself was comfy and bedding clean but it was immediately obvious the pillows were not big enough. They were extremely thin and lumpy. You could tell where previous guests had folded them over to try and get a decent night's sleep. We asked for some more on the Friday we arrived but it took 3 days and asking for a manager before we got some on the last night.
