The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with immaculate towels and bed linen, but needs considerable improvement including a new shower and floor tiles. The service, despite some communication breakdowns, proved to be helpful, friendly, and understanding. The location, although not in a fancy neighborhood, is convenient for exploring with easy access to public transportation. The dining experience provides ample choices but could benefit from more fresh products.

I found the hotel to be a decent choice, with basic but adequate rooms that were reasonably clean. The service was a mixed bag of helpful and unprofessional behavior.

I couldn't have chosen a better hotel; it ticked all the boxes, and I will definitely stay there again. The rooms were lovely, and the glow from the TV and bathroom lights compensated for the main lights not working. The staff, especially the lady and gentleman at breakfast, were always friendly and helpful. The location was convenient to explore the capital, though the area lacked English-speaking establishments. The dining experience was good with a variety of options, and the facilities catered well to our needs.

The hotel's rooms were spotless, and the service was exceptional. However, the alleged free parking was a major issue, and the breakfast fell short. The surrounding area appeared run-down, best to avoid due to the negative atmosphere. I have to admit, the experience left a lasting impression.

The hotel is in an Indian district, away from the fleas, but nice staff and a bit unorganized when ordering meals. The rooms are very small with a daft design curtain and lack a sink plug, but relaxing near buses and tube trains for a fortnight's holiday. Service is friendly and helpful, especially the Romanian lady from reception and the girls who served in the pub, but the sales manager doesn't assist with troubles for my needs. The location isn't great, in an ethnic, dangerous neighborhood dominated by Indians, but it is where I want to be in London. The dining experience is unremarkable, especially the breakfast in the pub part of the hotel. In general, everything was very good.

I just landed in the country and checked into this hotel last minute. The rooms were clean and comfortable, albeit a bit weird-smelling. The location isn't too bad, with lots of nice Indian cuisine around, but it's a bit far from central London. The dining was okay, with a cooked breakfast available, and the service was friendly enough, though some staff had a bit of an attitude. Overall, a modern and clean hotel with some pros and cons to consider.

The hotel is conveniently close to EastHam tube station, making it easy to reach the city within 15 minutes. The rooms are clean and fresh, although there were initially only two pillows, which were promptly provided upon request. The location is more diverse than expected, but parking can be a challenge.

The hotel's rooms were basic but perfectly adequate for what I needed, reasonably clean although housekeeping standards could improve.

The hotel was very modern and clean, offering an excellent stay. Although the rooms felt damp after showering and weren't ready for early check-in, the overall experience was lovely. The breakfast was brilliant with plenty of delicious options, and the room was clean and cozy. The easy links to central London make it a great area to stay, and I'll definitely visit again in the future.

The hotel offers spotless rooms, ideal for accessibility, and equipped with air conditioning. The service is friendly overall, with standout assistance from the Romanian lady at reception. However, there were instances of unprofessional behavior among staff. The location may not suit everyone's preferences due to safety concerns in the neighborhood. The dining experience is average, especially for those expecting a cooked breakfast. Despite some drawbacks, the hotel provides decent facilities.

The hotel offers stunning and clean rooms with a large bathroom, but the loud music from the pub below forced me to leave early due to the internet service issues. The staff provides outstanding and friendly service, always willing to help. The location, despite being in a South Indian area, is great for its safety, variety of Indian restaurants, and quiet nights. The dining options were good with a mix of British and regular food choices.

The hotel had some drawbacks with the rooms, like a zigzag pattern and unnumbered room keys, making it tricky to locate after a few drinks. The auto-set heating during warm weather and the basic room cleanliness were also areas for improvement.

I couldn't be happier with my stay at this hotel! The rooms facing the main road were excellent - modern, comfortable bedding, working AC, and real open windows. The service was top-notch, they even let us take our bikes to the room and catered breakfast at 5 am. The location wasn't the best for walking around, but it was easy to find and close to central London attractions. The dining was quite a good start to the day with a variety of items. The facilities were great, making my stay even more enjoyable.
