Colvin House

London

Very bad hospitality, The room was a converted loft, so very hard to move, it was a very horrible 4nights of stay, i don't recommend this place, Bathrooms are very bad, shower doesn't work in one of the bathroom and the other bathroom was for small kids, so i don't recommend this and i will never stay in this place again.

Very Bad communication, never answer the call, waited outside the Colvin House for one hour for the Keys

6 nights stay, located near the metro with shops bar and change bureau, in zone 3 to get to zone 1 20 minutes good metro. Simple room, single sin a hole on the ceiling, I was in room no.2 Affordable but standard structure, not always warm water to shower, thin walls. Ideal for those who want to save and who are unpretentious... to adventure! I do not recommend it.

I mean...

Colvin House? Well... if you're looking for something better, look elsewhere!!! Here you can't sleep at night, the very thin walls of the walls disturb sleep!! Holes in the ceiling, dirty carpets and cold shower water... I suggest you spend a little extra money but at least get to sleep like normal people!!

Never again!

This is a "not too bad" place in a "not too good" area. Basically it's a simple end-terrace house converted to a "hotel".
Expect nothing special, but you will get what you pay for.
One advantage is the free WiFi.

Nothing special

This hotel has got bad location, but it is only one minus. It is very clean, and comfortable. I was only one night there, but I was satisfaction. Couple of minutes walking to the metro station, and it is not center of London for sure. The price was low.

Very nice

A place far from the centre of London and a disgraceful hotel. I had no idea that this place had such a negative rating and we had a tremendous misfortune. The last night we were going into the house the keys didn't come in. We thought we were in the wrong house. That wasn't the case. We called the number they gave us and shortly thereafter a man arrived who couldn't explain what had happened unless they had to change the locks. Because we felt a little scared things and we were inside the room without any security! We didn't sleep well given that these walls look like paper like I've read before. Whenever someone walked into the room it looked like they were in the room next to us. To forget to read! Fortunately if you're still able to cancel your stay in this place!

Why didn't you read the reviews before?

You get what you pay for! The hotel in all is clean and pleasant, there has been some money spent on the interior decor from the rooms to the bathrooms as you can see from the pictures. When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised by the fact it looks just like a house on a suburban street, usually hotels if hotels dont look good from the outside then the insides usually worse (Dont judge a book by its cover). But once we were inside it wasn't bad at all. The rooms were clean and fresh with full mod cons, Freesat TV, Iron, DVD player, WiFI. When we arrived at first room the window had been left open and was like an igloo, we spoke to the chap working there and he had no problem moving us to warmer one. 

The downfalls to this hotel are its location, parking - which is free but can be difficult to find a space and the fact there are limited bathrooms at the hotel.

But all in all not a bad stay at all plenty of places to eat nearby which is always good!

Not as bad as they make out!

Well well well.  What can I say?

Ok, it's got doors, it's got stairs, it's got windows. It's got beds, it's got carpets, it's got toilets.  It's got showers, it's got problems, it's got problems and it's got problems.

What hasn't it got?   It's not got a cleaner, it's not got working toilets, it's not got working showers, it's not got hot water, it's not got chamber maids and it's not got too many good reviews.   And this is where it ends, this is not a good review either.

I was booked in for two nights.  Room was little more than a box room in the attic.   It had a bed, a tv, a kettle, a tea mug, a dead rose in a beer glass of stagnant water, and a USB connection table light.  What the feck is that about?   I USB connection table light and nothing to plug it into, needless to say it was as much use as a chocolate fire guard.

Room was very tiny and after getting the bed in there was hardly enough room to move around in.  Never mind.  It was somewhere to sleep.

Can't think.of anything posative to say about this "Hotel". Oh, yes, I've just thought of something......   I'll positively not be recommending this hotel to anyone.  I'll positively NOT be staying there again.

I stayed, then I left

If you want to save money on overnight stays, you're right here. (We spent about £90 for two nights in the double room, a snapper for London conditions.) But you shouldn't expect too much. The house is in East Ham (contrary to my predecessor's opinion it's a neighborhood with a high immigrant share, not exactly a poor neighborhood), half an hour with the Hammersmith & City or District Line from the train stations and downtown.

Modest, fine accommodation... no more, really no more.

The hotel is located a short distance from the city centre in a slumside area in east London (about half an hour by subway). A nice man greeted us. At night, however, no one was there (people were always ringing at the door, quite creepy). The double room was very small with a small window, a large stain on the carpet floor. The bedding was also stained, the walls were bright. The communal baths looked refurbished and cleaned, but at the second glance it was very dirty. The shower could not be set to the desired temperature, it changed the temperature continuously. The hammer wanted to give us a good rating with 10 pounds. The hotel's only reason for giving us a good rating here is that it was a good one.
