    The bathroom could do with deep cleaned in particular the shower which could do with having the grouting cleaned or replaced, the sink could do with a new plug hole and a toilet roll holder added to the wall. The bedside lights didn't work and on closer inspection needed light bulbs as they were missing. The TV remote once it had batteries still didn't work, but the buttons on the side of the TV did. The room as a whole looked like it could do with a refurbishment.

    The location to Stratford Station was really good and the property was easy to find. The staff behind the bar were helpful and friendly when booking me into and showing me to my room, which was on the top floor. The bed was really comfortable and the size of the room was great. The remote for the TV was missing batteries, but replacements were provided once it was reported to them.

    Generally untidy. Hot tap loose (had to hold the tap and rotate as whole thing turned otherwise). Shower door didn't close properly due broken runners. Bathroom blind filthy with London grime and had to close each strip by hand as the string controls had snapped. Note window was nearly floor to ceiling and faced a block of flats - prime voyeurism opportunity opposite.

    Excellent location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Local pub and very reasonably priced too. Cheap and cheerful in prime location.

    Very minor issue - Shower doors came off rollers when we tried to close them, so we couldn’t fully shut them.

    Great location for concert at Olympic stadium, comfy beds, free parking. Really friendly lady greeted us on arrival and showed us to the room. Nice to grab a drink from the pub on arrival.

    The building was tired inside and out. There was no lift (I had 3 bags) and the bathroom in my room could definitely do with a refurb.

    The staff were very friendly and accommodating. There was plenty of room to get a seat to watch the football. The bed was comfortable.

    Quite a climb to first floor rooms, would have been nice to have tea and coffee or at least a kettle. Our toiletries were all empty and clearly hadn’t been used for sometime.

    Hotel from the outside looked very tired and shabby. Room was also very tired looking. Bathroom had been decorated but the standard of decoration was very poor. There were blobs of dried paint on all the bathroom furniture. With just a little attention to detail it could have been so much nicer.

    Bedding and towels were clean. The staff were lovely, really friendly and so helpful.

    This is a room above a good old fashioned East end pub which has seen better days- location is superb and you can park your car at the back- ideal for going to the London stadium- room was small but clean- staff were friendly and helpful-don't be put off by the look of it from the outside- it's not the lap of luxury but ideal for someone on their own looking for a cheap bed for the night

    No toilet roll and the shower wasn't very warm, but it didn't bother me too much as I only stayed for one night after a gig and took some toilet roll from another pub.

    Friendly, helpful staff but not in your face. Respectful of privacy. Would book again. Value for money

    The curtain was broken, and the room was facing the street and sign was swinging from the window and we couldn’t rest properly. The toilet’s flush was making so much noise. You could hear the flush of the other rooms too. The pub downstairs was playing music that you could hear every upstairs and we couldn’t rest. For the price isn’t worth it.

    The toilet is loud lol. There's also no A/C, but they had a fan so it was okay. If you need mobility aids, maybe not for you - all rooms are upstairs.

    The location and price? Perfect! The accomodations are really good too, I stayed overnight to rest after a flight.
