We were very happy during our 4 night stay. Located near a railway track, the noise didn’t bother us. Rooms very clean and the staff were lovely during check-in and the duration of our stay. Nice are and a 5 minute walk from Tower Bridge. Highly recommended.

Kailenna

Ilford is not a super glamorous part of London area. It can also be a little intimidating, so use the buddy system. I only have good experiences from Ilford, but sometimes it was sketchy. And like the rest of London, it’s not super clean.

5/5 - Excellent

Sally

Loved the Barkingside High Street, and the Fairlop Oak Pub, shopping in Romford was good, they have quite a few shops and a good size mall. If you want a traditional English Sunday dinner, make sure you go to Toby Carvery in Romford.

4/5 - Good
