The Central Hotel  

The only thing I liked about this dump was the exit door out of it.

This lousy hole isn't even a hotel..it's a few dirty,smelly rooms above an old,rundown West Ham United supporter's pub. We paid a ridiculous price for a place that was advertised as a central London hotel,but it's way out in East Ham in a rubbish area,a 30 minute plus walk from nearest dlr tube station through dodgy streets. The wifi didn't work,neither did the old tv,the shower area is woeful and dirty,and the breakfast in the morning is as poor as they come,especially for the overpriced room rates. Worst of all is the lazy,'couldn't-give-a-toss' attitude of the manager and staff..truly pathetic. Avoid at all costs!

only location

everything but the location!

Nothing, it was seriously overrated and disappointing.

I do like to stay at the Central as it is my regular drinking place before going to watch my team West Ham play.You get a good cooked breakfast.Although there are no ensuite rooms the showers and toilets have been much improved hence the increase in price, which is justifiable,although the toilet lighting could be improved.

Toilet lighting could be improved as sensors did not always work.The security could be improved as I do not think leaving the room key in the door is a good idea when leaving when there are still other people on the premises.

The location was good.

It was very nousy at night.

I was led to believe this was not far from the centre of London when in fact it was 11 miles outside & 40 minutes by tube or 75 minutes at least by bus. It was fairly basic & quite run down but not too bad for the price.

Good friendly staff very helpful

No disabled facilities - but managed ok

Even we read the comments from others (not too positive), we decided to book this hotel because of the location and the price. It is true that the hotel is quite far away from the city center (approx.40 mins by tube) and the surrounding is not too nice but we got what we paid for.. We had very nice room, quite large as well ad enjoyed our stay as much as possible. The breakfast was good enough.

The surrounding wasn't too nice, it looks little bit dangerous in the dark but even we were coming very late every day, we didnť face any issue or bad comments from the locals.

It's a nice, cheap place to stay. The staff is actually VERY nice, just take a moment to talk with them. This place ain't the Ritz and frankly they'd have a hard time getting one star. It's not in Piccadilly or Leicester Square, it's in a working-class neighborhood but it's safe and most people there are quite friendly and helpful.

Can be a little loud on weekends. Not ideal for family or honeymoon. Otherwise is a pretty cool place.

The level ofthe hotel is not equal to even 1 star. I am preparing a claim with the lawyer

Nice cheap hotel. Perfect for our trip. Only thing is there were no curtains in the room! Had to use bed sheets to cover windows! However because of this we managed to get a 10% discount so it's not all bad.

Travelling with my husband and 3 friends we chose the Central as it was a good price at £90 for 2 nights b&B. On route to the hotel we a bit apprehensive as the area of London it is in seemed quite rough but it turned out to be fine even walking back to the hotel from the tube at 10:30 at night. We stayed in the pub on the Friday night and had a very enjoyable night with the local people who drink in there rugularly. It was quite noisy through the night with police sirens every few minutes but we were fine with that. I wouldnt reccommend taking children to stay here.

The breakfast wasn't the best, sausages were awful and bacon was cold but it filled a gap.

Breakfast

The hotel is so far from the city centre and downstairs there is a pub very noisy on weekends
