“Good enough hotel....pity about reception”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

Arrived for a three day stay and was pleased to find a space in the car park. Carried the bags to reception only to be 'greeted' by a surly gentleman who offered no welcome or common courtesy whatsoever. He had no interest at all as he checked us in. I had to ask when breakfast was as he had no... More

“Budget hotel with good bar and food”

Reviewed 14 May 2013

As long as you request a rear room the hotel provides a good nights sleep. Basic room with TV, bathroom was small but spotless. Very friendly staff on check in. Breakfast was adequate but not great...bread was awful...seemed like economy bread and tinned fruit is a real no- no. The coffee was very good however and there were newspapers available... More

“Good location, great value”

We paid £143 for 2 nights over the bank holiday weekend for a double room on a bed and breakfast basis which was considerably cheaper than most other London hotels.

“Excellent value for money all round”

I stayed here recently as part of an event at the Excel and was pleasantly surprised. The hotel is simple but room sizes are huge (for London) and the pub next door serves as restaurant, what more do you want?

No complaints about the hotel facilities and room, but was REALLY messed about when checking out. Booked through the Accor.com website, as I normally do.
