Partner and I stayed here for 2 nights as all websites pointed to value for money. Which it was! A 2 minute walk from the nearest tube station (Bow road) with a co-op opposite and a Barclays bank next door for withdrawing money. The room we had was right on the front so we had the noise of traffic and... More

We stayed at this hotel for five days over the New Year. The location is great - there is a DLR station (Bow Church) right next to the hotel and it goes straight to Canary Wharf. If you want to use the underground it is about a 3 minute walk to Bow Station (where you can hop on the District... More

Upon arriving we struggled to get in as the owner was in another part of the hotel and had left the desk unoccupied. We had asked for a room at the back on recommendations from trip advisor reviews. Unfortunately this was all the way through the hotel, out the back and above the bank building next door. My partner carrying... More

small and well located if your business is in the east of london. rooms are small, but clean and its still reasonable value for money. The tube and DLR are next to it so it serves for both lines. Being on the main road, the buses are easy to get as well. They could however be more thoughtful on furniture... More

We stayed there for 3 nights in September 2011. People at the reception were very polite and helpful. Our double bed room on the 1st floor was clean and large enough together with shower/toilette. We slept and rested well in the room and for that purpose we didn't need much more. In the basement we could use small kitchen and... More

Don't even deal with the money grubbing owner at this hotel. The place is dirty loud and the beds are uncomfterble. If you cancel early they will attempt to totally screw you with 2 nights penelty. They lied to me as well, never go there pay an extra 20 pounds and go to a decent place.

Spotlessly clean, excellent price, convenient for public transport. There is a practical kitchen for guest use and a 24 hour Co-Op literally across the road. The bed was comfortable, the room was plenty big enough for us. If you want to stay somewhere handy for town but not too expensive this is perfect. The price you pay for the convenience... More
