Shops, bars and restaurants nearby. The staff were friendly and the room basic but enough comfort for us. There were no tea / coffee equipment in the room but you could make it downstairs if required. Shower was small but clean. Overall value for money spent.

Cheap budget hotel
It was fine for one night and room was quiet and clean.
The only complaint was no refreshments in the room, it is shared with the guest, via a kettle, paper cups and basic refreshments in the reception area

Affordable Stay in the Ambient London Fields
Super affordable stay—well worth the money.
At the price point, you get what you paid for—it does deliver on all its promises, and the hotel staff were extremely friendly!

This was sufficient enough for one night stay after a concert. Nothing spectacular. Very small room and it’s clean can’t ask for much more for the pricing.

Don't bother - awful and dirty
Bedroom and bathroom were dirty (probably hadn't been properly cleaned in a while). Light pullcord in bathroom was disgusting and the toilet seat broken. There was hair in the shower and stains on the sheets. The room was very shabby and tired. Beds were uncomfortable.
Reception didn't seem to care when issues were raised.

Did what it says on the tin. A place to lay your head down. Not easy to find because it’s not on the main road, you have to past the garage on the left hand side and turn left. Staff on reception were friendly, gave me the key and WiFi code, plus were there to let me in after an evening out. Room was a basic room which is what you would expect from a lower end budget hotel. The room was cleaned daily and towels replaced. No complaints. I would stay here again.

Very helpful staff on front desk, slightly odd guest policy, almost reminiscent of uni dorms and overly restrictive but plenty of locals spots for a social meet anyway

Don’t do it.
Hotel is difficult to find, and not in a particularly safe area. Although the price was cheaper than other options, it was still not worth the money. The rooms aren’t cleaned well and the facilities are pretty horrible. For some reason they want you to leave your room key when you go out for the day too. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all.
