It’s really well situated, right next to the DLR. The room itself was as basic as you could get - the sheets were clean and new, but it was definitely not very clean, look like a deep clean hadn’t been done in there in a long time. It wasn’t disgusting, just not perfect. The shower was like a dribble, but there was a great TV with smart features. On a budget, it was pretty much exactly what I needed, but if you’re looking for anything other than a clean bed I’d think twice. No other facilities in the hotel - it’s less a hotel than a bunch of separate rooms. Like a hostel with an upgrade. Tbf I’d probably go again if I was in a dire need, but if you can find somewhere else for £50 that meets your needs I might advise doing that. Lol

Fine if u only sleep there.

Location is great, however the room was not particularly clean and the plug sockets was hanging loose off the wall. Also i had to wait outside for 20minutes before i could check in as there was no one at the desk.

Good location. Easy access.

It was clean, and has parking which is helpful. Having wi-fi was helpful. The furniture could do with modernising.

Bedding was clean, bathroom was clean and towels were clean. Whole place could do with a makeover but I’d stay again. Was convenient for tubes and overhead to get where we wanted to go. Lovely restaurant next door and pub over the road was really good. If you are looking for a cheap getaway then this is ideal.

Terrible experience

I had a very bad experience with our stay in CityStay hotel. The room is not worth the rent at all. Heater in our room was not working and we asked them to check it but they never did. We asked them again but no response. We had to survive the cold nights without heater. Also cleanliness is very poor.
