City View Hotel - Roman Road Market

Good

Super affordable stay with friendly...

Liked: Great facilities including sky TV and a fan in the room. I’ve seen some other reviews saying there wasn’t a toilet in their room but we had a en-suite wet room in our room. The bed was really comfy and the guy at the desk was very welcoming, polite and friendly! I don’t know why people are giving this hotel such a bad reputation because we had a great stay. We only paid £80 for 1 night in the heart of London, situated a 10 minute walk from Victoria park and Mile End tube station - bargain. I think some people may have over-exaggerated about the previous 1 star reviews, we were reluctant about going after seeing the reviews but after trying it for ourselves, we would return there.
Disliked: There was nothing to complain about.

Good

Pleasant

Liked: It is a basic room but clean and lovely staff
Disliked: Bathroom wasn’t great but clean

Good location, bad everything else!

Liked: The location was great for a concert at Victoria Park.
Disliked: The rooms and en-suite were very small, you had to stand over the toilet to shower. The entire place needs a refurb. It was not overly clean. There were large groups of asian men (something to do with the hotel staff) hanging around in the lobby and garden which made us feel very uncomfortable and a little nervous about staying there.

Just what I needed

Liked: Friendly and helpful staff

Very good

Exceptional

Liked: Very comfy bed, has a fantastic clothes market just outside on some days and plenty of good priced places to eat. Good area as well and close enough to the centre by Uber or a short walk from Mile End tube :)

Zero value for money
