Hotel 261

The milk was too much

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.

The hotel is far from the underground station but right next to a bus stop. So you have transport options. And the hot water takes a while to kick on but otherwise it was a great room great staff. The pub next door has great prices and friendly staff as well.

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.

All good x clean room with everything I needed x easy check in and out x

Pleasant staff, nice room

The hotel is great for short stays and offers excellent value for the price. I will definitely return on my next business trip to London.

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.

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

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.

Dirty place, old beds and bedsheet. Pillow smells swet. I have to wash all our clothes and vacuumed the suitcase back home. I will never be again.

I had to stay longer then I predicted, my bad luck, beding very old, stained, rooms very small, exoensive, bkack tovel for body but none for face.

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

Inconvenient

Big room, comfortable, nice bathroom, good location. Amazing price

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.

THE GOOD: 1. The staff. Very professional, honest, and kind. 2. The restaurant assigned for breakfast (Little Napoli). Great food, great service, welcoming staff. Very nice people. 3. The price. Affordable for a safe location. THE BAD: 1. No underground station nearby. If you plan to use the underground, the two closest stations are not at a walkable distance. You still could Uber to them, but that makes trips more costly. 2. Warm water. The boiler is slow in sending the warm water down the pipes. You have to wait a couple of minutes. Not a big deal, but not something standard. 3. Taxi services. This is NOT the hotel’s fault, just make sure whoever they get you to drive a taxi takes card payments. The first driver we used went smooth, no problem. The second one told us halfway to the airport that his machine wasn’t working and that we had to pay him cash. He stopped at two different ATMs but my cards didn’t work to get the cash he demanded. When he saw get upset, his machine suddenly started to work and we could use our credit card. Very annoying! Not good! His tag was GJI8 DZE. Don’t use him!

The room size was compact but had all basic amenities. Room cleaning was done daily and for the price I strongly recommend staying at this hotel which is very budget friendly and comfortable stay.
