I've stayed at this hotel for three time now as i lived in this area before and i like to come back to it as often as i can. And in this three times i had a different experience: the first time was ok, second time a disaster and the third time was a blast!
Knowing that our previous stay was a nightmare and that we had a elderly family member with us that wasnt able to enjoy her stay as well as she should the hotel's Acting Deputy General Manager made everything is her power to make sure our stay this time would be perfect. And it was: late check in took three minutes. And we were welcomed with a warm smile. Everything was already prepared for us when we got there so all we had to do was sign. The room (230) was one of the best we have stayed so far and although it was in front of the elevator we could barely hear any noise. The room as sparkling clean. Maybe because last time one of ou main complaint was concerning the cleaning this time it was spotless and hopefully it will be the same next time we visit them.
Breakfast is included on the room's rate wich is always a nice touch and they have a small detail that for us means the world: they have a microwave for guest to use. As well as cuttlery, plates, sauces and all you need if you wanna have an early night in. Which was really useful for us this time.
The room as coffee and tea facilities, a nice tv with national channels and a really good coconut body wash! :)
The hotel isnt central. But you have a few buses right in front that in 10 minutes leave you on Walthamstow station and from there you can reach everywhere in London. Also from there you have direct bus to Straford in case you wanna catch the national express to Stansted Airport. And Walthamstow is a great area, the real London in my opinion. Where you have a local shopping centre and a Saturday morning market.
Also behind the hotel you have a sainsburys which might always come handy.
So in case you were wondering if you should or not stay in this hotel, dont hesitate. Its a modest hotel but you have there eveything that you need to have a pleasant stay, including a great Acting Deputy General Manager that in our case changed the opinion we had about this hotel.
