Don't bother - awful and dirty

Bedroom and bathroom were dirty (probably hadn't been properly cleaned in a while). Light pullcord in bathroom was disgusting and the toilet seat broken. There was hair in the shower and stains on the sheets. The room was very shabby and tired. Beds were uncomfortable. Reception didn't seem to care when issues were raised.

Great for what we wanted, close to train station. Room very basic but comfortable. Nice bars in the area and plenty of options for food. A lot of noise from neighbouring buildings.

Poor service, poor maintenance

I had booked 2 rooms for my family (inc 2 teens). Service on arrival was poor. Argumentative and lack of any caring attitude. Received a request to see evidence that the kids were ours. Also they wanted to see ID for our kids and my partner. They also showed us ID of other guests (breach of Data protection), this proved though they only took 1 person's ID. The hallways were soaked in water which were slippery. The rooms looked clean when entering but we found chair and fan broken. In one of the rooms, no towels were provided at all. The showers were dirty. Used soap in the shower tray. The shower frame (to hold the shower head to wall) was broken. Dirty rooms as we found empty bottles and rubbish down sides of bed. Barely any plug sockets and the ones we did find did not work. Windows were difficult to close so had to suffer with the noise from outside.

Affordable Stay in the Ambient London Fields

Super affordable stay—well worth the money. At the price point, you get what you paid for—it does deliver on all its promises, and the hotel staff were extremely friendly!

This was sufficient enough for one night stay after a concert. Nothing spectacular. Very small room and it’s clean can’t ask for much more for the pricing.

We knew it was a 2* so expectations were low - but it was grim. The condition of the room was appalling but given we were rushing to make a gig had no time to challenge. Broken lights. Bare bulbs. Broken locks. Plastic matress with tired bed linen that did not fit. Suspicious gunk on wall. Poor 70s DIY bathroom. Broken toilet seat. Curtains hanging by a thread. £150 is an outrageous fee and I have stayed in better accomodation backpacking in 3rd world countries. Miserable. Looking at previous reviews they are clearly binary in nature - genuine and fake? Many 'Excellent' 10s with no narrative and single names. These elevate the score to a 2*. So very disappointed and not a little miffed at being duped. Had an intense need to get home and have a shower upon leaving. Brings Hotel.com reputation into question. Suspiciously unable to upload photos...

Did what it says on the tin. A place to lay your head down. Not easy to find because it’s not on the main road, you have to past the garage on the left hand side and turn left. Staff on reception were friendly, gave me the key and WiFi code, plus were there to let me in after an evening out. Room was a basic room which is what you would expect from a lower end budget hotel. The room was cleaned daily and towels replaced. No complaints. I would stay here again.

Don’t do it.

Hotel is difficult to find, and not in a particularly safe area. Although the price was cheaper than other options, it was still not worth the money. The rooms aren’t cleaned well and the facilities are pretty horrible. For some reason they want you to leave your room key when you go out for the day too. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all.
