"Being put in a smokers` room was dreadful."

Shall avoid choosing your hotel again and advise all I know to do likewise.Why don`t you ban all smoking and improve your hotel instantly?And to think that the room could be used as a family room....disgraceful!Breakfast was good, however. The smell of stale smoke is still lingering on my luggage. You ought to try staying in such a room for yourself if you are a non-smoker.

"overall good value for money"

The only hotel to have a family room for 4 so not many options to choose from. Basic room, basic breakfast but not expensive so overall good value for money. Only one minor detail, the directions given from the old street tube station are wrong, they tell you the wrong exit to leave the station, if they told you the right exit then the hotel would only be a 2 minuet walk.

"Handy hotel for short break"

We stayed at the Express London City for a long weekend in August. The hotel is clean and the staff quite pleasant. It is a very basic hotel but is handy to the underground and there are some great restaurants nearby (the Real Greek is absolutely wonderful!) Only real negative comments about the hotel are that there is a couple of nightclubs on the street and it is very very noisy it was a very warm weekend and we had to keep the window closed in order to sleep, however the hotel isnt airconditioned and the little fan did very little to circulate the air. I was travelling with 2 children and my mum so we had a `family` room - this is actually just a double room with the sofabed pulled out, very small for a family room.

"comfortable room"

This hotel is in a good position for the tube station on Old Road but be warned it is a short distance from the Fire Station. We were only staying for one night, the room was comfortable, main bed was good but second bed for our son was a little uncomfortable. the hotel was a little noisy, mainly from the traffic outside but the hotel provided ear plugs!. Staff were ok, efficient and friendly. The breakfast was a little chaotic, no organised queing , just a free for all, we had to wait for coffee mugs, glasses for juice and the table claearing was slow. They would benefit from a self stack system for the trays. Overall our stay was ok and may go there again during a quieter period not the schoo; holidays

"Clean and tidy hotel. happy with the facilities"

Upon arrival, there was obviously a mix-up and no reservation had been made despite my booking being made in January. However, a room was made available within a short space of time and the remainder of my stay was perfectly fine.

"FANTASTIC"

The hotel was immaculate and ideal for an overnight stay, even a weekend would be ideal here.The staff are polite and can`t do enought to make sure your stay is comfortable and hassle free. Continental breakfast available for everyone, and there is something everyone will enjoy, but would advise you to have breakfast early to avoid the late morning rush!!The only thing that lets the hotel down is its location as there are very few amenities near by, however the hotel itself was brilliant and I would 100% use it again for another theatre break.

All the staff were extremely polite, welcoming and very helpful. The continental breakfast was very good. The twin room was fine. Main problem was the triple room which consisted of an uncomfortable double bed and a very uncomfortable bed settee. 3 single beds would have been more suitable for 3 adults.

"Budget price, budget hotel, but clean enough"

Myself, my wife and two children stayed one night at this hotel. It was pretty basic but clean enough. It was noisy overnight as far as sirens and other outside noises go. The TV didn`t work properly and the sofa bed for the kids wasn`t particularly comfortable. For one night, just to sleep in, the hotel was fine. Would I have stayed longer? Maybe two nights at the most. Would I recommend it? Probably not.

The rooms were clean and fairly comfortable although rather cramped with the extra bed. We had to move rooms after first night as it was too noisy to sleep. Breakfasts were adequate but would have liked more choice of fruit etc. All very basic, would not use this hotel again.

"Nice Hotel, very helpful staff, clean and modern. Location not great for exploring London."

Enjoyed out stay but location not great for theatres or exploring London as nearest Tube is Old Street on the Northern Line and tube changes are necessary. Breakfast was continental style buffet, coffee very poor quality. Staff very helpful. Priced a little high for location.

A clean and pleasant hotel, just right for a weekend break. The staff were helpful and polite. Breakfast was plentiful and of good quality, the staff working really hard to keep up with the demand for clean crockery!

Although the staff were very friendly and helpful the room was incredibly hot and quite small. The hotel did have a fan in the room, which as we suspected proved to be a worrying sign! We had to sleep with it on all night, which, was very noisy and not particularly comfortable. Breakfast was very chaotic with not enough tables for everyone staying at the hotel. People were overspilling into the bar area. Wouldn`t stay again.
