Ilford Grand Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel is in great location in the centre of the town, accessible to number of restaurant’s, shops and few minutes walk to ilford station."

Best Western Greater London Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The best staff I’ve encountered in a long time. The rooms are small but very clean. No air conditioning. The only problem I had was I’m the hotel policy wouldn’t take a major credit/debit card because it required a signature (not sure why as I use my PIN any other time abd it wouldn’t pull up that way in their hotel payment machine)."

ibis London Barking

10/10 Excellent

"Great value for the price. Would stay again. 24hr bar area with comfy seating. Didn't try the wifi but it's free. The heating/cooling system is a little strange. According to a note on the wall of the room, it stays at 20 degress Celsius when you turn it on. So if it's warmer than 20 in the room, it cools it down and if it's lower than 20 in the room, it warms it up, in theory. Couldn't really tell. Ended up keeping it off for most of my stay. Bed was comfy, breakfast was fantastic. Cost about 13 quid but was full breakfast, including scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon, pancakes, croissants, muffins, toast, baked beans, all kinds of cheeses, yoghurt, ham, salami, a variety of juices, coffee, tea, mushrooms, you name it. There is parking within the complex but you need to set your departure time at the machine yourself. Note that if you are leaving at the noon checkout time, you might want to set your departure time at the machine to 1pm just in case. You get penalized if you parking for any more than 15 mins longer than the departure time you entered in the machine so be careful with that and set it for later. I think it's the same price for up to 24hrs of parking anyway. The staff were super helpful, very courteous and accommodating. Definitely A+ stay. It's about a 10 min walk to Barking station, where you can connect to central London via c2c, District Line or Hammersmith & City line. There are a few restaurants less than 10 mins walk too. Ghanian one was interesting."
