"Staff are excellent, location is brilliant, view is spectacular (room with bridge view), bedroom is clean with a very comfy bed, and the double glazing is incredible! On the down side, the bathroom is very dated and in need of renovation. I expected better for the price paid."

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.
