Pros:

Vi valde Ilford på grund av ett musikevenemang i närheten. Hade i det stora hela en mycket bra upplevelse! Otroligt trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Bra läge, nära tunnelbanan. God och prisvärd mat i puben nedanför. Lite russel från puben på kvällen, men vi erbjöds öronproppar och då fungerade det kanon!
Skulle absolut kunna återvända! :)

Pros:

Nothing Very disappointed with this guest house. The place was not clean at all, and the staff behaviour was extremely poor. We called them many times but they never picked up the phone. When we finally managed to speak to them, they were very rude and unhelpful. Overall, it was a very bad experience and I would not recommend staying here.
