B&B in good location

It delivered what we expected and no issues. Parking was opposite and not too expensive. Food and drink in pub downstairs. Clean linens and toiletries so it was good stay.

Friendly and welcoming

Fantastic stay for MCM Comic Con at the Excel centre. The family that run the pub as well as the hotel are lovely and so friendly, the room was cosey but perfect for our stay. We usually put a do not disturb sign on when we're staying for a few nights, as we are happy to use towels for a few days and think about the eco impact of having your room cleaned everyday. On our second day back we found a bag on the door and a note with some extra tea and sugar as well as fresh towels if we wanted them, which we've never had before and is so, so kind. The food in the pub is lovely as well and was a great place to eat, but there are loads of options in the area! The music is loud and stops at about 2am over the weekend and midnight during the week, but for us on the top floor it wasn't too bad and we could still get to sleep during it. Would definately come back and stay.

No a good experience this time

Got a room that looked okay but carpet had not been vacuumed properly. The air conditioner did not work and the shower tray was dirty with hair and debris left there. Have stayed on the property before so expected better

Good location and Food, downhill from there

Good and bad, Let’s start with the Positives, Location - 2 min walk from Seven Kings station, Parking opposite is free at weekends, Food - very nice and well priced. Negatives - Air Con/heating was broken in the room, managed to turn it off manually in the end but room was roasting hot, being above a pub meant the Fight outside was rather loud as we were forced to keep the window open due to the heat ( in February!?) Shower - only just worked enough to be called a shower, more of a watering can trickle. And the big one for me, Cleanliness….. hairs in multiple places and we were joined in the restaurant by a mouse, live and rather calm in it’s surroundings so likely staying for a long stay too.

Cheap

I have never written a bad review, however, I don't want anyone else booking the room type that sleeps 3! Upon arrival we collected the key from the bar, we were shown where abouts our room was at the end and left. Weirdly we were shown where the smoking area was, but not how to check out (we did work it out) or any other house keeping. PROs Cheap Free parking at weekends opposite CONs The room type is falsley advertised and DOES NOT sleep 3! Specific room type booked was a twin room that sleeps 3 (other rooms stated sleeping 2), however, ONLY has 2 beds, no rollaway or occasional bed made up, no extra bedding, towels etc. The 2 beds were very uncomfortable, very hard and could feel the springs and bed lining had marks. Broken TV and remote control snapped with battery compartment exposed. Broken kettle. Noisey - you hear everything in the corridors, even hearing the guest in the room next door go to the toilet. We were aware that there is live music until 2am. No / very little phone reception I am quite shocked that the guesthouse did not a) contact us before arrival to advise the room type that sleeps 3, in fact does NOT or b) have a rollaway/temporary bed for the 3 person.
