“Functional”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2007

Have stayed here a couple of times and have found it to be a typical HIE with reasonable standards. It's very close to the dog racing venue so would be an excellent choice if one was contemplating a dogs/hotel night. It's also adjacent to the north circular and appears to be planted in a corner of a large supermarket (Sainbury's) car park.
There does seem to be some engine noise at the rear, refrigerated lorries perhaps, so a room at the front is better.
On a few occassions, I have had to leave before 6am and have found myself unable to get out as the door is locked and the night staff have vanished. They can be unfriendly, which is in contrast to the day staff who I've always found rather pleasant.
Surrounding area has nothing, unless you're there for the dogs. The nearest underground is miles away.

  • Liked — The North Circular is nearby.
  • Disliked — Depressing aura.

“Dog racing delight”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2007

Located on the North Circular but well glazed!

Great bar with very friendly staff who make for a good atmosphere. Located right by Walthamstow dog track so great entertainment if you are a solo business traveller (£1 entry on a Tuesday!)

Right next to a Sainsburys & the take away Indians that deliver to the hotel are good.

“Great hotel, great price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 March 2007

Have styaed at this hotel a few times now. Its a modern hotel on the outskirts of London. The nearest tube station is about 10 mins bus ride away - there is a bus station very near the hotel. The tube into London only takes about 20 mins and you can use your one day rail card for the bus as well! Dispite being very close to the a very busy road, the hotel was quite. Rooms were clean, tidy and well furnished. I would say that the double beds are a bit small. We now opt for a twin room!

The rack rate for this hotel is something like £160 per night. You can get it from time to time for £39 per night, per room inc cont. breakfast. Thats a great price for a nights stay in London.

I would stay here again.

“A lovely relaxing stay!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 March 2007

person found this review helpful

I booked this hotel as a gift for my partner with the sole purpose of the trip being the greyhound track in walthamstow.. it is literally right across the road!! There are no more hotels in the area and this one is more than enough..Expected exactly what i got from the holiday inn standard! Clean comfortable rooms.
Read a couple of reviews before i left and the only negative point anyone mentioned was that it is out of london. Yes this is true however it is a very relaxed hotel with the bus stop across the road that will carry you to the Selbourne walk shopping centre (has all your high street shops) and the markets outside if you feel the need for shopping. There are a few nice restaurants in walthamstow. Other than that the area does'nt offer much else. However we really enjoyed our 3 night stay in the hotel!!

Stayed March 2007
