NEEDS A PEP-UP...
The facility is rather spartan and needs upliftment. There was no signpost to indicate the hotel at the address. Located on the busy Bow road, the environs appear rather untidy with uncleared refuse close to the hotel's entrance. This location is a plus, being close to the Westfield Shopping Center , Stratford. Like the building, most of the facilities are equally aged, like the archaic door key system. The self styled ''self service breakfast'' is quite spartan with few offerings while the venue only accommodates a center table with only 4 seats. Sleep quality was rather poor as my room on the ground floor suffered from the noise of night time driving on Bow road. The cost of services offered are on the high side while the hotel urgently needs an improvement and uplift.

Basic but what we needed and the kitchen facilities were good, you can cook etc and a shop almost next door for anything else you need that isn't provided. Staff were friendly and explained everything very well. we were fortunate to go on a weekend and found free parking just up the road that was only permit mon to fri and the tube is just down the road so perfect for our weekend in London

Not a value for money
It was my worst hotel experience. The room was on the ground floor (114), it did not have a proper window (a window to another room - a porch on the street side), the curtains were stained with a colour. It definately is not worth c. 100 euros a night.

Front desk very friendly and accommodating. Facility needs major upgrades. But location is close to London Stadium so was perfect in that regard for my stay.

Very good value for money. Easy access to center via tube or DLR. The self-service breakfast at the kitchen is a great idea. I wish I could open the small window, it would greatly help releasing the summer heat.

Room was small, but reasonable for the price, however the common areas and room were extremely dirty. Black mold on the bathroom ceiling and grout, and walls and floors in very poor condition.

For somewhere to basically crash for the night, wasnt to bad. The place could use some updating as looking really tired. Pros: quiet location, easy walk from Bow Street station underground, great shower! Staff was pleasent engouh and helpful, quiet location. Cons: place needs to have some tlc, still wasnt sure why i had to hand over my details, creaky floor boards etc. Like i said if its somewhere just to sleep and leave your stuff for a night or two its adquate.
