the staff were very helpful , the hotel is only 2 minutes from the Ilford Station to the Elizabeth line so was very easy getting into Central London even with the transit strike going on
The hotel was very welcoming and the room was of a good size and clean. The shower and bathroom was clean and tidy.
We had a very nice and comfortable stay.
Carpet needs a deep clean. The room is tired, and the noise at night is a joke! Doors banging, running up and down the stairs, loud talking at all hours. Zero consideration for other guests.
I will say the hotel is conveniently placed though, and near the train station, local high street for food, drinks and basic shops.
Very easy to get to train station.Ok for the price I suppose as only staying 1 night. Carpet was minging. Generally old and shabby. Beds were ok.
Staff at check in were friendly and professional.
The staff were friendly and helpful, in ideal location next to tube station, aswell shop. Room was plenty of space, and clean. It was good value for money. I

I had a mostly good experience at this hotel. The location is excellent – it’s very convenient for both train and bus access, and there are plenty of food options nearby. The staff was friendly and helpful.
There are a few things that could be improved. In my room, there was no bedside lamp, so I had to turn on the main light for the entire room, which wasn’t ideal. The pillow was also quite small and made it difficult to sleep comfortably. One major issue was an alarm that went off early in the morning on one of the days, which was very disruptive.
Overall, it’s a great place to stay for the location and service, but a few small changes could make the experience much better.

Fits the need while looking for affordable options.
We booked into lucky 8 but stayed at best western. We enjoyed our short stay, quick walk to the station freindly staff. A lot of reviews regarding the heat however I think this is just the building other then that not a bad word to say
It was ok for the price we paid but the hotel can improve by making subtle changes like providing more pillows because when we asked for pillows they had none.Also more toilet paper needs to be provided.Parking is an issue too.
