59%Stratford Hotel

I found the staff to be quite unhelpful and a bit clueless, also,they weren't too interested in cleanliness, there was a pile of rubbish bins outside the "hotel" the whole time we were there. In saying that, our room wasn't bad for the price, 2 beds and an en suite bathroom. However, the plumbing in the bathroom wasn't the best.Overall, pretty cheap for a decent room, but don't expect anything else.close

The staff here were really lovely when they were around but were sometimes hard to find, the reception doubles as a bedroom for a few of the employees...

Room had the usual tea-making facilities as well as a TV with DVD player, fridge and microwave which let us make ourselves at home. There was painting and repairs being done while we were there and the whole place looks really bright and fresh. No sign of the mould mentioned in a previous review!!! :D Overall a nice place.close

Did not provide what was in the description. Far away from central London, takes a while to get anywhere.

This is a quiet lodge but OK based on the price. The location is right near the tube station so it takes 15 mins to get to central London. If your arriving at another time than what you indicated ring the staff to let them know because often there are no staff at the lodge.

I think that Strafford Lodge was the dirtiest place I have ever stayed. People looked so dodgy. They had this sign saying do not go downstairs unless you have permission from the manager. Though location is not too bad it is not easy to walk from the station. There was no sign of it was hostel... more I think that Strafford Lodge was the dirtiest place I have ever stayed. People looked so dodgy. They had this sign saying do not go downstairs unless you have permission from the manager. Though location is not too bad it is not easy to walk from the station. There was no sign of it was hostel outside either a reception. I had to pay by cash which I was not prepared for as it says on your website that you can pay by credit or debit card. Overall I was not happy with this place at all.close

The place was hard to find, and there was no sign identifying it, which made it even more difficult because it was in a residential looking area.

We reserved a room with an ensuite bathroom, but when we got there, they said they did not have any. There were live cockroaches in the room, the sink in the room wouldnt drain, and there were several large stains on the sheets and bedding. Also, the toilet in the shared bathroom would randomly not flush. Overall, would not stay here again.close

The chief of the hotel was very pleasent, and we could stay at Cranbrook Hotel, we didn't need to go back to Stratford lodge with our baggages in the rain. We also got breakfast, which originnaly wasn't included at the same amount.
