Pros:

Great value for money. It is a modest hotel, so don't expect anything fancy (to be honest, I have had worse experiences at much pricier hotels).
We stayed in room 11, and everything was alright. It was great to have a mini fridge in the room.
The staff was polite and helped with our luggage.

Cons:

The floors were squeaky. It wasn't a problem for us, though I feel bad for the room below.

Me encantó el alojamiento
Pros:

Me encantó todo, especialmente la ubicación porque tienes dos estaciones de metro, la stratford, que conecta con todas las lineas de Londres y la maryland que conecta con la linea Elizabeth, así como también tienes el autobús número 25 en la puerta del hotel.

Limpian las habitaciones todos los días, personal excelente y nos guardaron las mochilas, 😍. Las habitaciones tienen baño privado.

El autobús que cogimos para ir al aeropuerto de stanted fue el número 20 detrás de la estación de stratford, también se puede llegar en tren pero hay que hacer transbordo.

Recomiendo el alojamiento 100%.

Wouldn't go back.
Pros:

Didn't like anything. It was just somewhere to sleep after a concert at the London Arena.

Cons:

The room was at the back of the 'hotel' (a house conversion). The room was small, extremely hot with a tiny window. Very dubious people loitering around the area with a strong smell of weed being smoked.

Pros:

Le personnel était agréable et serviable. Les bouteilles d'eau offerte en arrivant les draps et linge de salle de bain très propre.

Cons:

la vétusté de l'endroit, la taille trop petite pour 3 personnes, les peintures à refaire, les fenêtres qui ne s'ouvrent pas totalement. Le quartier pas top.
