Review of Manor House London 2*

Together with a friend, I've stayed in this hotel for the past 9 days. But the experience was not that great at all considered the amount of money you have to pay. The room was very small, and maybe that's why the beds are so short. The bathroom wasn't actually a room because it's all so small. The toilet seat was only mounted with one screw left so that when you sat on it it was all wobbly. The shower did not really listen if you tried to adjust the temperature because when you finally got the right temp it soon became very cold or very hot and then cold and then hot again. There is free Wi-Fi in the hotel but that signal only reaches about one meter from its router, very slow, pretty annoying. Posting photos on Facebook for example is no option. Then there is the hygiene. The room was pretty clean when we got there, no complaints about that but we had to ask frequently for new clean towels or toilet rolls because those were not changed a single time in those 9 days unless we repeatedly asked for it (about three times). If you are considering that paid "continental breakfast" option; don't. The good thing is is that there is a kitchen you can use yourself and you can get free tea and such but the breakfast was nothing more than a box of cornflakes and some other cereal, cups of butter, 1 type of marmelade and a bag of bread. I, as a tourist, at least expected some sort of typical English breakfast with bacon, eggs etc. I must say that the staff was pretty friendly. They didn't say of do much but we were greeted. I did find it a bit strange though that when we wanted to check out, the man who came to us just said "you can leave the keys here". That was it. No "thank you for your stay here" or something like that. For the overall experience and the amount of money you have to pay I would not recommend this hotel. Such a shame really. Notes: — To the town and underground it's about a ten minute walk. — There are really nice places to eat in Leytonstone, such as La Bella Vita or The Walnut Tree. — There's a big Tesco store where you can get everything you need.
