Very helpful staff that made check in a pleasure...for once. Although the accommodation was basic it was fit for purpose & clean. An excellent cooked breakfast was included which was duly gobbled up before departing. Would certainly stay here again.

Nice hotel situated on top of a classic British pub. No noise was heard from the pub. Great personal service. Wonderful freshly cooked breakfast. Simple rooms but with all you need including a tea kettle. The building is old but the hotel personnel makes up for this, friendly and attentive. Good location to Forest Gate station with restaurants and stores.

Staff were lovely but the room was not particularly clean. The carpet was pulled up and sticky in some spots. People were arguing loudly within the hotel early in the morning and I was verbally harassed by someone in another room as I was leaving and felt unsafe walking back to the station. Breakfast was very nice though and the check out process was easy.

For budget London accommodation I was impressed with the Forest Gate Hotel. Pros: quiet location, easy walking distance to the tube (Olympic park 2stops away), affordable (for London prices), clean sheets, comfy bed, fridge, microwave, tea and coffee in room. Fire doors and a solid door lock. Shared toilet and showers but they are clean enough, a decent size and will good locks on the door. Staff are friendly and breakfast was simple but a bonus the next day, and was cooked fresh. Cons: it's an old building and it isn't freshly painted and high spec. If you're looking for luxury, you'll have to pay the cost. But it doesn't detract from this being a solid option for somewhere to sleep well for a couple of nights. I'd recommend it here and I'd stay again.

Grubby, basic and cheap

If you just need to get your head down for the night then it will do. Definitely needs a lick of paint and a good clean up.

Best forgotten

I am afraid we found the accommodation lacking in every manner. Infact once we saw the room we decided we'd rather lose our payment than stay in this place, so we left and went to another hotel.
