It took a little while to find the hotel once I’d arrived and was worried that I was overrunning my booking-in time and thought I was going to end up on the streets, but luckily after having asked directions, I found the hotel eventually and on arriving, they attempted to contact me, which I had no knowledge of, so luckily they were still open, giving me the opportunity to book in and pay the rate for the week, which was brilliant. I was in Room 22, based on the ground floor, right by the breakfast room, to which, was very enjoyable, nicely presented and cooked, where you had freedom to help yourself to a lovely array of items such as sausages, hash browns, scrambled egg, toast, cereal, yoghurt and juice, all inclusive in the price, which I’d say is a hidden gem in Ilford, which is a fair distance from London. Ilford itself is a multi-cultural and faith town, plenty of well-known and independent shops; it is a buzzing place, plenty of life and people from all walks of life. There is also a shopping mall which is worth a visit too! Plenty of buses, including the number 25 which is ideal for travelling right into the heart of the Capital. Taxis, also the TfL main line station serving other stations such as Stratford for Westfield and the Olympic Village, connections available onto the London Underground (Central Line, Docklands Light Railway (DLR), Jubilee, Circle, District Lines - certainly well-served for that area! The hotel room was big and spacious, high ceilings, pleasant en-suite, Freeview, coffee and tea making facilities, double bed, plenty of storage, heating; the only issue I had was that there was no sound-proofing between the floors and all movement above was extremely “stompy,” and got annoying some times! I would fully recommend the hotel, as there is St. Valentine’s Park and a 20-minutes walk up to Gants Hill, where you can get the Central Line, another alternative to the busy Ilford main station. I’m now back at home and thoroughly enjoyed my week there and only cost £298 for the whole week! The staff were generally friendly and always ask how your day has been and also you get your laundry with towels washed every day. Very nice hotel! Still needs some decorating but I’m sure once that’s all done, the building will be stunning!
