Bedding was clean, bathroom was clean and towels were clean. Whole place could do with a makeover but I’d stay again. Was convenient for tubes and overhead to get where we wanted to go. Lovely restaurant next door and pub over the road was really good. If you are looking for a cheap getaway then this is ideal.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
It’s really well situated, right next to the DLR. The room itself was as basic as you could get - the sheets were clean and new, but it was definitely not very clean, look like a deep clean hadn’t been done in there in a long time. It wasn’t disgusting, just not perfect. The shower was like a dribble, but there was a great TV with smart features. On a budget, it was pretty much exactly what I needed, but if you’re looking for anything other than a clean bed I’d think twice. No other facilities in the hotel - it’s less a hotel than a bunch of separate rooms. Like a hostel with an upgrade. Tbf I’d probably go again if I was in a dire need, but if you can find somewhere else for £50 that meets your needs I might advise doing that. Lol

Good transit options

It’s absolutely no frills but for a solo traveler who’s often in London, that’s completely fine. The proximity to the tube is pretty good, and I loved the easy access to the DLR.

City Stay Hotel

My stay was for one night and the hotel suited my needs perfectly. It offered good value for money and the room and bed was comfortable. The room and building could do with redecorating but that didn’t affect my stay. Check in and out was easy and staff / owner friendly and helpful. Would recommend to anyone looking for basic accommodation at value for money cost.

Hotel facilities were basic but everything you would need was provided. Friendly helpful staff & hotel situationed next door to the DLR overground & 200 yards from the underground. Room provided had toilet & shower, separate kitchen area, dining table & free wi-fi. There is a convenience store over the road from the hotel also. Would definitely stay there again.

Terrible experience

I had a very bad experience with our stay in CityStay hotel. The room is not worth the rent at all. Heater in our room was not working and we asked them to check it but they never did. We asked them again but no response. We had to survive the cold nights without heater. Also cleanliness is very poor.

Good budget bed for the night

This is a budget hotel, the bedding was clean, there was a lock on the door, it was near the to tube - ideal. There was mold on the ceiling, stuff in the room was broken, there was no kettle, and so on, but this is why it was so cheap for London. If everything was perfect the price would be easily double.

"Parking" is minimal and you get charged to use a space around the corner. Room was small but clean. Very little room in bathroom. You are getting what you pay for. Convenient to bow road tube station, short walk to ABBA and London Stadium.

Fabulous located hotel for ABBA voyage

I wanted somewhere central, with a clean bed and en-suite but didn’t want to pay a lot. Fab location with a wonderful cafe next door (used to be Barclays) For the amount I paid, I can’t grumble, got clean, white bedding, towels and clean en-suite, was only there to sleep. Don’t expect much tho, everything is outdated and a bit grubby, it’s a 2 star, but you get what you pay for.
