I stayed here with my teenage kids and husband during our annual vacation to London. The hotel is well located and we could walk to the subway station, also when we needed to drive out for day trips to attractions around london it was great as its very close to the highways and the city traffic did not cause to be a problem.

Room was alright but the decor througout was very depressing.
Not much choice as regards food.
Didnt find the place welcoming.

This was a last minute booking for three of us as our plans to spend New Year In Berlin fell through at the last minute. Hotel very easy to get to by car but a bit of a schlep by public transport. If you're at all familiar with NE London it's bang on the Crooked Billet Roundabout on The North Circular and a 10 min bus ride to either Walthamstow Central Station (for trains and Underground to Central London) or Chingford Station (Trains only) - watch the bus fares - £2.00 one way - get a 1 day travel card for Zones 1-4 which will get you anywhere in London on bus, underground, DLR and local trains unlimited travel for £6.30 a day (off-peak after 09.30). Talkes about 45 mins to get to centre of London.

Very helpful reception staff who persevered with our problems with the key card right up until we left. Rooms small but clean and very good condition - extra coffee, sugar milk etc not a problem - just ask. Extra pillows and towles etc. al;l available if you ask - spare athought for the staff though - like all of these big hotel chains they run on a minimum staff basis so just ask and they'll get you stuff straight away for you to take back to the room but expect a bit of a delay if you want it delivered.

Breakfast a bit limited and the croissants were well past their best even at the start of breakfast. Watch out for the toaster! It has a tendency to cremate your bread at the slightest provocation but there again the stupidity of some guests trying to toast whole bread rolls didn't help. Sevice area for breakfast a bit cramped and a large party of Japanese guests who were in residence at the time had no idea of queuing and would tend to block the whole thing by holding group converstations by the coffee machine - one of the very few occasions I've had to use my best Brit "DO YOU MIND MOVING??????????" voice.

Apart from that a pleasant place and handy for getting to by car - good value for money.

I stayed in this hotel for 4 nights with my husband who stays here most weeks. As you would expect it is fairly basic but reasonably priced for greater London. The rooms are small and would be ideal for single people but they become a little cramped for two over a number of nights. There are a limited number of hangers so for two people who are both working this was a problem. The beds are not particularly comfortable and the towels are in need of replacement as they are very thin and grey. Don't expect a full English breakfast but the options available are ideal for a quick breakfast. As it is next to Sainsbury's there is the option of buying sandwiches, salads and takeaway hot food. Walthamstow has a very large number of fast food/takeaway options although we have not tried any. Chingford is easily reached by bus - and there are some fabulous eating places here. The tapas bar and Thai restaurant are both next to Chingford station and are good. Commuting to London takes about an hour - from the hotel it is a bus and tube on the Victoria Line.
