Hotels near Repton Park, Woodford

Liked · The room and bathroom was clean. The owner was initially friendly - I asked about check out time, she said not to worry - whenever I was ready, which was a lovely response. Parking was easy. The bathroom was well presented. Disliked · The shower was scalding - when I told the owner she said 'many people' had complained, but the fault was with me (and the previous people) because we didn't use the dial. I did use the dial and it was scalding. Given that many people have complained, clearly the issue is the shower and not 'many people'. She later said this was 2 people. The owner was hostile at my complaint, which really is not unreasonable. The room is shabby (see pictures). The curtains don't fit, aren't hung properly (see pictures). The furniture is sp**** and shabby (see pictures). Windows frame appears to have melted. Holes in the curtains (see pictures). The bed is squeaky as soon as it is touched. The owner, when I complained about the shower, said she isn't a 5 star hotel, she is a 0 star hotel. This really isn't good enough. The basics I expect is a bed which doesn't squeak and a shower which is usable.

We stayed at this hotel as somewhere to sleep whilst we did some family trips in London. What made the hotel stand out for us was the staff. Unfortunately we were one of the last to come down for breakfast and the kids had set their hearts on croissants. They hotel had run out though and they were a bit disappointed as there wasn’t much else they fancied. One of the waitresses however came out with her own personal croissant that she had put back for her breakfast and gave it to my daughter. That was way above and beyond and so kind. Thank you so much!

I would like to say a Big Thank you to Lira’s Team in Travelodge Barking I.e. Khatija, Isa.Rif who made my stay comfortable and helped me due to my disabilities. I found Lira and other member of staff very polite, friendly and understand customer needs. I would highly recommend to use Travelodge and guarantee to value your money. *****BZ ****

This is a really lovely hotel with very good amenities. My only moan was that the car park is strictly pay no exceptions £4 to park your car at a hotel where you are staying seems a bit wrong. Although it wouldn’t necessarily put us off going again there are alternative hotels in the area that have free parking for guests.

As I was working at a convention at Excel this weekend this hotel is certainly perfectly situated within a 3 min walk. I arrived Friday evening and was met with a completely soulless and uninspired welcome. The room (I was on the 9th floor) was spacious and certainly clean on arrival. I've stayed in several Novotel's recently, but the design here again is lacking in any individuality and feels very oppressive. A large bathroom, lighting was adequate, and for some odd reason the designer felt there was a priority for an electric opaque panel that could allow your guest to watch you shower if they wanted?! Thankfully I was alone, i wouldn't have wanted to share as every time the bathroom is in use the entire room lights up as the light bleeds through the floor to ceiling panel. The bathroom seemed lacking in any toiletries, and had nothing in the shower cubicle so I had to use the hand soap (I normally pack my own but other experiences in this chain gave sufficient toiletry options). In the morning I discovered the drain was blocked and so I partially flooded the bathroom as I hadn't fully noticed, it took nearly 10 minutes for the water to eventually run away. A call to reception got this fixed for my return that evening. Frustratingly as a tea drinker I am always baffled as to how coffee drinkers get so many options, but I only get 2 satchets of breakfast tea. Prob in 7/10 hotels I now stay in housekeeping always fail to acknowledge that I have only drunk tea and don't bother to replenish, something I only discovered as I woke up at 5am. Is it really that hard when they have replaced the milk? My room was warm upon arrival, so I dialled the control off. I woke several times in the morning due to the heat, opening the window made little difference as there is no air flow and just the sound of outside units whirring. I turned the control off but it made no difference and after a weekend its stifling, not helped when housekeeping leave the mirror light on which generates yet more heat. The bar was a miserable experience, the staff are completely unwelcoming, barely speak to you, don't listen to your order and seem unable to even acknowledge you. 2 friends came to meet me on Saturday night and had the same experience so we opted to go to another hotel bar for drinks and food instead. On arrival I had asked for the wine list/bar menu, but was told what I was given was completely outdated and incorrect...so why is it not replaced? Breakfast was OK, again just lacking in any form of customer engagement. All in all it was a functional space with a comfy bed but in this area it comes at a premium. It's a spacious hotel that just lacks any warmth, either in the decor OR in the customer interaction from the staff. I stay in several of the other chain's hotels up and down the country so was a little surprised by this experience, I won't be staying here again on my next visit to Excel.

Room and bathroom were big and fairly modern however details like towel rails and toilet roll holder in the bathroom (non-existing) and a full-sized mirror in the bedroom (only a a tiny one) had been overlooked and would have been nice. The bathroom toiletries advertised were a half empty hand wash bottle on the basin and a half empty shower gel bottle in the shower. A private kitchen was also advertised as included, not sure what they meant by private as someone was using it (I didn't), perhaps they just meant people couldn't just walk in from the street and use it. On arrival, room and bathroom weren't overly clean and there was no cleaning at all during my stay. The room was on the main road and the traffic noise went on till very late and started again very early in the morning. Really hard to sleep. An altogether disappointing experience

Fantastic place to stay if looking for budget option solo or as a couple in London. Very comfortable, modern, clean rooms. Very good WiFi, excellent staff (Vineet and Deep extremely helpful lovely and accommodating). Rooms are obviously small as this is a capsule hotel but really great experience if you’re looking for somewhere to lay your head when in London.
