Tough to bash this place because the staff was so friendly and accommodating. We were there two nights. Our toilet wasn't operating properly, and the room had a dirty B.O. smell. They gave us another room which was slightly better. The carpets are stained, everything is worn, bathroom tiny. Good luck drying off and keeping your towel off the toilet. Our bathroom in Amsterdam was just as small but laid out better. As others have said this place needs updating, but I understand with everything so expensive in England it's tough to justify the expense. Pretty cheap to stay here, was relatively clean, but there is a local Bed and Breakfast we will go to next time that was full up this weekend. The English breakfast was yummy and for £8.99 you couldn't beat it.

I was dreading my booking after reading some of the nightmare reviews from previous customers but, to be fair, I did not experience any truly major issues. The restaurant was good and all the staff very courteous and helpful. Plenty of parking space and a good location for the wedding I was attending. It is true that the whole place needs a lot of t.l.c. and there are a number of planned and general maitenance issues which need attending to. My bathroom had some eccentric plumbing which did not allow you to use the shower as there was no mechanism fitted to turn it on - a good hot bath had to suffice! The room was spacious and fairly clean but in need of a bit of redecorating. At a push I would be happy to stay there again.

First time we have stayed here, just for one night. Arrived late so did not use the restaurant. However had a great breakfast in the morning, good quality, plenty to choose from. Help yourself to decent filter coffee, couldn't fault it. Nice friendly welcome, comfortable bed, plenty of space in the room, everything clean...and free parking! What's not to like. Will use it again when down in Walthamstow (which offers very little in terms of accommodation with parking).

The hotel was in a convenient location. The room was a good size but the bathroom needed updating, the shower was low powered and either too hot or cold. The building is a series of 60s style blocks linked by corridors which just felt slightly grim compared to other hotels. There was a good selection for breakfast and the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall it was ok as a budget hotel but nothing special so probably won't return

The hotel staff were very nice. We only stayed 1 night. The room was medium sized and everything looked clean. The mattress and pillows were old and flat, not very comfortable either. The hallway smelled and the parking spaces were very small, even for my little car. We didn't partake in any of the food or bar but they are available until 9:30 PM. After 9:30, you are basically on your own, which sucks for people going out for the day and coming back late hungry, or if you are desparate sandwiches are available for purchase. Good for if you plan on taking the train into London and coming back to sleep, as the single night only cost £75.

Great room which was good value. Building itself did not look great but the room was excellent. Stayed to attend a wedding at nearby Gaynes Park. Phoned to see if I could check in early and was told by a man it would be £20 extra. On the day, however, I was not charged extra to check in 2 hours early. Makes me wonder if the charge exists, so double check to make sure you're not ripped off!

We have used this hotel before and then it looked like a functioning hotel. However on this occasion you would think it had closed down. One guy on reception when we arrived, he was polite and friendly enough. It was very clear that the restaurant would not be available. He told us that if we needed anything to ring the number on the door. We ran out of toilet paper, so I walked to the reception, all doors were locked and nobody answered the phone! If you literally just want a bed for a night, then this is the place to be, however bring your own loo roll just in case.

Second stay at this hotel this time for 3 nights and for the price (average £52 a night) it is a reasonable way of being close to the centre of Epping and the forest. Didn't have breakfast this time so can only comment on the room which was very clean with towels replaced daily. Carpets in communal areas are stained and it is not a luxury place to stay but with free parking and quite spacious and for us quiet rooms there isnt much to complain about!
