Avoid this hotel.Small rooms and even smaller bathrooms and plumbing doesn't work.It is DIY plumbing at its worst.They won't give you new clean towels daily unless you ask them! Pay a little bit more and stay elsewhere.It is not worth saving some money to stay at this place More

The hotel is clean and adequately furnished for a weekend break. Downsides are a ridiculously small shower room, you need to be either a small child or a contortionist to use the toilet as it is tucked almost under the sink. If you have the slightest impediment then use the facilities of the pub across the road. The shower was... More

Reasonably priced, definitely get what you pay for, only criticism is that it was very noisey and rather warm!! Breakfast was fine, staff were fine, room was clean and location was great. More

The City Inn Express is not easy to find, being tucked down a little alley under an archway and I am glad I arrived there in day light as I would have been a bit dismayed at having to approach it in the dark for the first time. The door is permanantly locked but there is always someone on duty... More

If you are looking for a romantic getaway or a palacial swanky pad then this isnt for you. However, if you need somewhere easy to get to, clean, with your own bathroom and breakfast included then this is it. I had a delightful little time, I was just in the area for the night and this was perfect for getting... More

We recently stayed in this hotel as a group of four girls who were looking for cheap accomodation in this area. We were a bit unsure of what to expect given reviews and pictures but overall the hotel was clean and organised. The rooms are basic but well laid out and clean, the bathroom albeit small was fine for the... More

I needed to be in this part of London for 1 night only. What I wanted was somewhere clean, with clean fresh towels and bed linnen. I wanted a shower that was clean and which worked and I needed a decent breakfast. I got all of these at a very reasonable price. The staff were unobtrusive, but they were easy... More

Staff very friendly, room clean, comfortable and was very nice to have been provided with two pillows each and you have a choice of having a continental breakfast for £4 a person which consists of cereals, juices, tea or coffee, toast, beans, eggs which I didnt have but thought it was very good value.
