Does what it says on the tin kind of hotel. Don't expect anything special, it's not a 3/4/5 star hotel, but the convenience of this place is why we recommend friends and family visiting to stay. Whilst I have stayed here myself a few times in the past, it's worth noting a few things;
1. Christmas Day 2018 staff were delightful and very generous to using group - thank you! Free coffees and a few drinks, some chocolate and many smiles. We appreciate you and the happy hour from 4-6!
2. Basic rooms, but when you can pay all upfront and in advance at a rate if £45 including breakfast, in Ealing Broadway, a short trip on the Central Line into London, totally worth it. Amenities can be requested at the front desk, like hairdryer, extra towels etc.
3. The breakfasts aren't bad! And the Lavazza coffee machine is the best - just make sure you don't wait til breakfast is almost up. It may be "unlimited", but they're very quick to clear it away!
4. Great restaurants very nearby, and some great pubs too. A black cab from the train station is about £5 if you don't fancy waiting for an E2 or E8 that stops outside the hotel.
5. The police station is two doors down. If you're a light sleeper, sirens can be heard. But at least the response time would be seconds, right!?
One final thing though... The light on the 5th floor (business floor) sensor doesn't actually work until you come all the way down the corridor. Kind of scary when it's night and dark, please fix it! read more
