Best Western London Ilford Hotel

Best Western London Ilford Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"All good, pleasant and helpful staff, decent breakfast, room and common areas all well cleaned. Great for transport links, Excellent value. Only gripe was an extremely hot room - set right in the roof of the property with fairly limited ventilation and headroom. Difficult to complain as I had been ungraded to this room when travelling alone prior to my family joining me the following day for a long weekend break. It was also an uncommonly hot period in a heatwave. But maybe ask not to be put in a roof room on a hot day."

"We enjoyed our stay at The County Hotel. The staff were friendly and very helpful. We had an economy double room in the annexe building. The room was clean and basic, ideal for a one night stay. The vegetarian full English breakfast was very good. Would definitely stay at this hotel again"
