    Minor issue the TV didn't work it turned on but nothing happned, also there should be a Sign outside of the name of the place to make it easier to find

    Room was big and clean the house was quiet during the night,

    We were not aware that we would be staying in a window less room which had absolutely no cheery decoration, pictures etc or that we would be sharing a bathroom, would have been good to have known when booking.

    Location was perfect for what we needed, and email instructions were good and bed comfy

    The bathroom was less clean but it is more the people staying than the owners or property it's self

    The room was very clean and bed was comfortable, it definitely ticked all the boxes I needed for my trip. It is also very well connected with the 108 running 24 hours a day about a minute walk either direction of the house.

    Clean, basic, good value room near a transport hub.

    Surroundings are poor, a badly maintained Council estate. Whole experience is very basic: you would only stay out of necessity, for work etc. I had to catch an early train, and had to plan around the train strike. You let yourself in with key codes etc and don't see any staff.

    Very good value, as a simple room near a crucial London transport hub. Room basic but very clean. Shared bathroom fine and clean. E-mailed entry instructions were clear. I slept OK.

    Location superb for abba arena and access into central london.our room was spotless and couldn't fault it, however the place was not a hotel as I was led to belive it is a hmo with 3 long term lodgers shared kitchen. which made it uncomfortable to use the complimentary tea and coffee as I could only find 3 mugs . A shared bathroom on 1st floor with no complimentary shower gel but towels provided. Overall worth the money if you don't mind sharing facilities

    Difficulty finding the lodgings. !! I hadn't realised there was no signage, and the property is just a house

    Tea and coffee making facilities were good in communal kitchen. Clean and comfortable bedroom with shared bathroom which was clean and tidy. Location is good for Westfield Shopping Centre and London Stadium

    Really odd having to take shoes off - especially as lino flooring and lots of creaking regardless. The communal flip flops in room made me baulk! But had read reviews and brought my own! Shared facilities is one thing, but again seeing ?longer term tenants bathroom products in bathroom wasn't nice!

    Read reviews and you know what you're getting. Was great location for abba arena. Basic and clean. Owner was lovely and allowed us to store our bags early before check in.

    It doesn’t feel very clean. there was so much dust on the furniture and under the bed. train station is like a 15 minute walk.

    very close to the abba arena and we’ll located if you’re visiting the Stratford area.

    The house is incredibly noisy with wooden floors and sticky doors meaning I was woken up ever time someone used the facilities. The bedside lamp had no bulb, so I had to walk across the dark room after turning off the light. Together, those two made for a really uncomfortable night akin to a stay in a dorm.

    The location and price were great - easily accesaible by bus and very reasonably priced - and the communication from the host very friendly. The place was spotlessly clean too.

    Beware of shared, though clean, bathroom

    It wasn't clear from the description that the bathroom is shared, and this bad surprise ruined the entire experience. When someone heats food downstairs in the kitchen, the room becomes filled with fumes. Opening the window let's the smell out, but let's bugs in.

    Host Emma makes an aged building into a cozy stay. The location is impeccable, easy access to everything. Train goes directly to London ExCeL and City Airport with minimal cost. Couldn't be happier after discovering this gem with such a low price tag. Emma allowed me to leave my bags way before check in time (though this is standard with any standard hotel) so I can work during the day without dragging my stuff around.

    Unsure as to availability of tea/coffee as the venue also takes longer term lodgers. A bit more info about local pubs/cafes etc would have been useful.

    Good location, five minutes walk from the station, easy access to central London. Great value for money. Plenty of places within an easy walk for food including Westfield.
