Hotels Near St James Park in Waltham Forest

Liked · The room and bathroom was clean. The owner was initially friendly - I asked about check out time, she said not to worry - whenever I was ready, which was a lovely response. Parking was easy. The bathroom was well presented. Disliked · The shower was scalding - when I told the owner she said 'many people' had complained, but the fault was with me (and the previous people) because we didn't use the dial. I did use the dial and it was scalding. Given that many people have complained, clearly the issue is the shower and not 'many people'. She later said this was 2 people. The owner was hostile at my complaint, which really is not unreasonable. The room is shabby (see pictures). The curtains don't fit, aren't hung properly (see pictures). The furniture is sp**** and shabby (see pictures). Windows frame appears to have melted. Holes in the curtains (see pictures). The bed is squeaky as soon as it is touched. The owner, when I complained about the shower, said she isn't a 5 star hotel, she is a 0 star hotel. This really isn't good enough. The basics I expect is a bed which doesn't squeak and a shower which is usable.

We have stayed in the hotel before because it’s a great location, clean, and just exactly what we need. On this occasion we were upgraded to an apartment on the 11th floor. We always book a twin room and are often put in an accessible room which is very large and spacious so it was good to be upgraded to an apartment so we could compare. The apartment was smaller than we expected and the bedroom wasn’t big enough for our cases so we had to store them in the lounge but it was really nice to have a separate area with sofa so we could sit and watch tv. The view was blocked by a wall in front of both windows which was a little disappointing as we could have seen for miles from being so high up so we didn’t have a view at all. All in all it was good to be upgraded but in all honesty we prefer the regular twin room or the accessible twin room as they are more spacious with lovely views. All have adequate kitchens with facilities to cook and store food.

Overall the hotel is perfect. The bedroom is new and large enough that it can house our 3 pieces of 28” luggage. Decoration is decent. The toilet is large and the basin is large in size. Amenities are good enough and the bed is soft and get good support so that we got a good sleep. The location is just opposite to the Westfield Stratford Shopping Center which is large enough to shop everything. Also the shopping center links to the Startford Station where we can take Tube (Jubilee / Central) or Elizabeth Line to any hotspots in London. We believe we will stay here next time.

Good value stay in this well-located capsule-style hotel. Right in the centre of Bethnal Green near the tube station, bus stop, museums, York Hall leisure centre, and various restaurants. Felt fairly safe for a lone female traveller. The compact Queen room was small, as expected, but well designed and did not feel too claustrophobic for one person. The bathroom was nicely decorated, clean and warm. Large TV with various apps (login required). Nespresso machine but no kettle or fridge. The room (on the third floor) looked straight out to the railway line and restaurants under the arches, but the soundproofing was excellent and the blackout blind seemed effective so I had a good night's sleep. Staff were helpful (providing me with a knife and fork to eat a takeaway, for example) but the self-check in/out was unnecessarily complicated, which meant the staff felt they had to be on hand to help guide you through it all the time anyway! Breakfast was included in my room rate but was a little disappointing - no decaffeinated coffee or herbal teabags, fairly limited hot food (bacon, scrambled eggs, beans and hash browns). However the pastries, cereals and so on looked good. Would stay again if a good price was available.

The room is clean and very cost-effective. There is no restaurant in the hotel, but there is a good restaurant next door. It is a simple and clear express hotel, suitable for family travel. It is some distance from the subway station, about 30 minutes' walk!

I used to use this hostel back when it was under YHA management. I’ve always picked it for its close proximity to Euston and King’s Cross. This is the first time I’ve been back since it changed hands. Glad to report that the hostel is still as it was. Polite and helpful staff, modern rooms with beds that have individual lights and charging sockets, lockers for valuables, clean and well kept bathrooms, a bar area downstairs to eat and have drinks if you desire. I stayed in a 6-bed female only dorm and was happy with my stay. Bed was comfortable, my items were safe (locks can be purchased behind the reception for £4), and the sockets can charge multiple devices with the dual USB sockets + a regular 3-pronged socket. Will advise that you turn the main room light off when you want go to sleep as my co-inhibitors left the main light on all night on my last night for some reason. The one area they could improve on was having another pillow on the beds. Mine was so used that it was mostly flat and made very little difference to my comfort.

For us the hotel was quite good. We were there 3 nights. Greenwich station is less than 2 minutes away and takes you to the centre. Overall the hotel was clean. The staff was nice. Unfortunately, the breakfast does not offer a large selection. I was missing more vegetables and more cold cuts like cheese or similar. My son was happy with the pancakes. When an adult pays for breakfast, a child eats free ( £8.99 ). The area wasn't so special now. 10 min walk and you will arrive at Cutty Sark. Unfortunately everything was completely closed on Christmas Day, including public transport. That's why we only went for a walk near the hotel that day. The rooms aren't that big, but you only sleep in them and don't stay in them for too long. Unfortunately, the pillows were too hard for us. We are stomach sleepers and our heads were too high. We didn't feel comfortable without it, so we slept with it and this led to back pain. But that's complaining on a high level, because everyone likes pillows, blankets and mattresses differently and in their own way. There are supermarkets nearby. We always go to the Tesco which is 10 minutes away and bought water and snacks for the evening. We would book the hotel again, in contrast to other hotels, it was inexpensive and yet clean and safe.

Was a great experience and the staffs as well. The facilities was clean and we find is easier to speak with the staffs for help. The app to assist customers was also a great idea and my life easier. Great stay

The room size is okay but the air conditioner is too noisy, which affects your rest a bit. The breakfast was not bad, not to mention rich. There were many people drinking in the lobby bar at night. The parking lot in front of the hotel was very large. There was a very good local British restaurant about 15 minutes' walk around. The steak pie was very delicious. There was one about 15 minutes' walk behind the hotel. The takeaway fish and chips is pretty good, a portion of fish and chips seems to be about 12 pounds, which is quite large.
