2 star hotel!!!
Don’t pay for breakfast unless you want to walk from the hotel for 6 minutes and go to a pizza cafe. I don’t even know what they cooked because after waiting for 20 minutes I left with a takeaway coffee. £14!!!
The room I had was a single room so I wasn’t expecting much and it was on a two star hotel so I really wasn’t expecting much. The reception was basic. Took my driving licence as key security. £15 to park on the front. The room was small the mattress you could feel every spring. The tv was the size of a tablet. The shower was problematic water leaking out onto the floor and opened directly into the seeping room. Not much water pressure.
If you want to put your head down and just want somewhere cheap in London this maybe for you.

Quite noisy from road traffic and guests trying to find their rooms as layout of rooms is confusing. Hot water took some time to come on. Bed was comfortable and room temperature good. Hotel should provide a bottle of drinking water for each person staying in addition to the tea and coffee.

I was in a basement room, wasn't clean, bathroom had no hand soap, the trim on the bathroom floor was coming off and sharp. The room was cold and noisy footsteps continuously thoughtout. No mobile reception at all. I was very disappointed with the place. It's below an average property, 1star only. Would not recommend at all.

Absolute dump
Arrived and the sign in reception says parking is first come first serve basis, obviously not the case, I arrived and was told to go find alternative parking as I hadn’t booked it. 5 spaces for a hotel of approx 40 rooms.
Checked in and made my way to the third floor passing the vomit in the hallway that had obviously sat there all night and day as it was now 15:00. Got to our room to find the cleaner just starting our room, he advised he needed 20 minutes so we nipped to the pub next door. Came back 30mins later to find the cleaner still in the room advising he needed another 20. Bear in mind check in is after 14:00. Told him to leave while we get ready as we would be late otherwise. Shower plug hole dismantled and left in shower tray. Toilet seat disconnected from the toilet pan. Beds most uncomfortable and smelt of stale cigarettes. Woke up by fire service at 02:00 to stand outside for 1.5hrs when they clear the ammonia chemical spill in the basement. God only knows what goes on down there. My advice spend a bit more and go somewhere else

Good value
Pretty good medium-range independent hotel, good value for money, helpful staff. Some of the rooms are spacious but others a bit small. The locks on the doors need changing as they are very difficult to open! Really lovely breakfast offered at local cafe and extensive room service delivery option.

A very comfortable hotel with no frills. If you’re looking for a comfortable, clean place to get your head down, this place fits the bill. Inexpensive and in a good location.

It was a single day stay. All was seamless and prefect, from arrival to check-out. Not costly, affordable and great return for my money. Next time in the area, I will stay at Hotel261 again

Basic but ok
1. Water pressure in shower was non existent and took ages to get hot water.
2. No ironing board
3. Plenty of mirrors in the room 😁
4. Very dated and could do with a refurbishment.

The hotel was better than I expected, the rom was small but not too small and it had an en-suite Bathroom. There was tea and coffee in the room and also biscuits which I thought was lovely. The hotel has free wifi and also a tv in the room. The hotel also offers breakfast. There are bars, restaurants and shops nearby plus regular bus services. There are some down sides, the shower cubical opens directly into the main bedroom, the cubical door is not entirely water proof so the room flooded when I had a shower also the shower head was damaged so the water shot out like a hose. The bed was harder than I am used to and the place was a little tired looking. On the whole it was a good place to stay if you only need somewhere to sleep, when I return to London I would be happy to stay here again.
