Nice. Hotels are just rooms for me to be unconscious in. Served me fine, slept well.
Pros:

Location was right next to the trains and seven minutes from the london city airport and half a block from 100 restaurants. Reception didnt seem to be staffed but excellent comunication with owner through whats app. Good shower pressure. Clean.

Cons:

The room was very small which was fine, but there was no place to hang next days clothes..i used top of bathroom door which worked...but maybe a hook and a a hanger or 2 would be good.

Pros:

The location can't be beat- close walking distance to Ilford station and near many restaurants, take aways and pubs. The owner/manager, Sunny, was personable and helpful. Our room was spotlessly clean and good value for the cost. Because the hotel is off of the main street, it's quiet.

Cons:

The standard room we booked was small, but adequate. If available, recommend booking a king room, which has more space, a refrigerator and microwave as well as the larger bed. Our bed had a comfortable mattress pad, but the mattress itself sagged somewhat in the middle. Pillows could have been plumper.
