Forest Gate Hotel  

Relatively easy to get in London if you didn't find catching two trains and walking 15mins

Unclean small room, bathrooms and showers were kept in a poor state. No sink in mens bathroom. Rooms kept too hot, heating left on when days were above 25'C. Noise from pub below in early hours of the morning made sleeping difficult.Breakfast was sloppy, and unhealthly. No choice of cereal, fruit or non greasy food. Breakfast too short, from 7.30 til 8.30.

The location of the Forest Gate was perfect for my husband and I, it was in a diverse part of the city. Many wonderful Indian restaurants within walking distance. The hotel was comfortable and simple. It was clean and the staff were friendly. I was a little nervous, because I had read some negative reviews, but we were allowed to see the room before we paid. It was simple and nice. The bar below the hotel closes at 12 every night, so even if it is a bit noisy, it closes at a decent hour. The hotel is near train and underground stations, so getting to other parts of the city is quite easy. Overall for the price, I think the hotel is a good value.

I liked the pub @ the ground floor and the off licence stroe at the opposite side of the street.

wifi didn't work properly. Tables @ breakfast were sticky :)

The staff was friendly.

The room 21 I have stayed in was in a bad condition. For the price I have expected simple, basic comfort, but clean and decent. The latter was not the case. The bedsheets were smely (not enough washing powder when washing), the bed itself was breaking when siting on, the general hygiene of the place was terrible (there were stains everywhere) and at night you could heare a rat or a mouse. And the last and the most disturbing; the window was not opening so I was litteraly safocating at night. As I said even though the price was reasonable it should be simple and clean place with all the basic facitilies actualy working. You should compare what kind of image of the hotel-room you advertise on internet and the actual room. There is always to expect a little difference, but not that kind. Nada Turnšek

Straightforward cheap accommodation. A quiet area and genuine "local" pub with sensible clientele. Only ten minutes from Forest Gate station if you walk quickly - this is a more convenient station for the city than Wanstead Park which is only 150 metres or so closer.

Well... The fact that it is also a bar location... This hotel gave me the opportunity to me very interesting people I have made a friend at this hotel..... I would like to thank you for this....

Ar first it was the fact that I had a hard time finiding it.... Since I did not drive there I had to use underground and buses or train facility.... But when I understood how the network worked.... I would definitely go back there.... Because of the friendly staff and where it is situated.... To have a relaxing place to stay... Thank you again.

Nice and clean rooms,staff kindness,good customer care,cheap hotel,good breakfast.I Would like to stay here again.

Good clean rooms, friendly staff, lovely pub downstairs. I would stay again. Nice breakfast too

I asked for a double room with ensuite and was told that it was confirmed. When I checked in, I found to my surprise that it wasn't an ensuite and wasn't a double room. That was extremely disappointing.

The pub downstairs was OK

Heating in the bathrooms and halls despite the good weather. probably to avoid spreading mold. Mold on the toilet paper and on the bedclothes. Smelly fridge, leaking tap for 5 days - nobody cares. When there was a lady serving breakfast food was Ok, but during the weekend ther was a guy who was serving outdated butter and milk.

The reception lady was friendly and helpful. Although the bedroom quality leaves much to be desired, I could sleep well. There was silence almost all night, even though the hotel reception is really a bar. Sometimes I could hear people going to the shared bathroom in the night, but that was it. I had a good night sleep. And the neighbourhood is very peaceful too. It's a residential area, with very few traffic.

It's really a good hotel for backpackers and people looking for a cheap place to stay, like I was. Just a quiet bed for sleeping and a shower in the morning.The tv had no cable to connect it to the antenna, there was a broken table lamp, inside a drawer, which wasn't removed after someone before broke it and hide it. There were some mugs over the refrigerator in the room, with some spoons, to make coffee, but they had stains on them. I had to wash them and boil them, before I could use them... The shared bathroom shower really could use a lot of bleach to remove the fungi at the bottom. Take waterproof slippers with you!

bylo tam prijemne,personal skvely,trochu stisneny prostor na pokoji,ale na prespani dobry.

Le pub qui a déjà beaucoup vécu, au rez de chaussée. La propreté de la petite chambre. Le prix.

Loin du centre ville, mais OK, bonnes connexions métro. Le patron qui pourrait être un peu plus cool, moins bourru.
