Pros:

Great location in Ilford, super well connected with the Elizabeth Line at around a 10min walk. The hotel gives you all the facilities including a kettle, microwave, TV and a mini fridge. Beds were clean and comfortable and the staff was very kind.

Cons:

For a room with three beds, there was exactly one available plug with a four-plug add-on. No other plugs available anywhere in the room. So you have to choose to either keep the TV on, or the kettle, while thinking of charging your phone. Even just between two of us, this was a struggle!

Great location. In need of updating.
Pros:

Close to the Elizabeth line for transport links. Kind staff. Clean.

Cons:

The bed was very uncomfortable and old. I didn't dare peel back the sheets as I didn't want to know what the mattress looked like. Old/crumbly furniture. Shower door handle broken. Just very old and in need of updating but they had done a good job at making it clean.

Rooms were last decorated in the 70’s, bed was awful, pillow like a pancake. Shower was hit & miss either red hot or cold.

UNOS ESTAFADORES Y UNOS SINVERGUENZAS
Pros:

Nada

Cons:

Directamente, son unos ESTAFADORES. Si vais a Londres ni se os ocurra hacer una reserva en este sitio. Lo cogimos porque nos parecía una buena opción calidad/precio/ubicación, además de porque tenía recepción 24h y nuestro vuelo llegaba de madrugada, pero nada que ver con la realidad.

Cuando llegamos, y después de ya haber hecho el check in y pagado una fianza de 50 libras, nos dicen que están teniendo problemas para alojar a los huéspedes por una supuestas “obras” (fantasmas, al parecer, porque allí no había ninguna obra) y que no podían alojarnos (todo esto, por supuesto, sin previo aviso cuando dos días antes de nuestra llegada me escribieron para confirmar nuestra hora de llegada).

El recepcionista nos mandó al Park Hotel (anunciado también en esta plataforma) y dijo que este nuevo alojamiento era propiedad de la cadena hotelera (no sé qué cadena) y que se encontraba tan solo a cuatro minutos andando, pero que nos pide un taxi para llegar. A continuación, nos lleva a esperar a una sala cinco minutos que acabaron siendo más de media hora.

Ante tal tardanza, empezamos a sospechar. Le exigimos al recepcionista que nos dijera exactamente la ubicación del nuevo hotel y aquí viene la sorpresa: estaba a más de media hora andando.

Exigimos un realojamiento inmediato pero se negaron. Ante la imposibilidad de hacer nada, nos subimos al taxi y fuimos al nuevo hotel… y aquí viene la segunda sorpresa. Decir que ese sitio era de película de terror era quedarse corto.

Nuestra “habitación” (por llamarlo de alguna manera) era un bajo a pie de calle con ventanas que no se abrían, un olor a humedad insoportable, bichos, suciedad (había pelos en las toallas “limpias”) y unas instalaciones que se caían a pedazos (por no haber no había ni una triste mesilla).

La cosa no mejoraba tampoco en las zonas comunes, con un olor a podrido y gente andando descalza por las moquetas. Pero es que aquí no queda todo.

Pros:

La ubicación y la amabilidad del personal

Cons:

Se ve que están en un proceso de remodelación. La zona que nos tocó del establecimiento está anticuada y poco limpia, It's London.
