"A bizarre experience… Wasn’t able to actually stay at this property as I never received check-in instructions from the host. Unfortunately the host read and ignored my messages and emails as well as communications from the property manager (they weren’t much help either), for reasons unknown. Luckily hotels.com stepped in and gave me a full refund + a voucher for compensation."

"Good and clean to stay with family."

"Birds farm is a lovely place to stay for the local Essex or Sussex area. Very quiet in the evenings, despite being just off a busy road. Great facilities, good comfy beds, very warm heating and well supplied cooking facilities. A pool for summer, grounds and a Summer house and a well stocked games room for kids if the weather is bad. We found it superb for our short trip and would happily return. As we were a little out of season it seemed that some of the cottages opposite ours were being...

"Such a beautiful stay at the Staycation Maldon. Very nice location at the heart of the high trees. The suite was very beautifully decorated for Christmas and this really made it very special. Spacious rooms with kitchen made it super convenient and comfortable. Aircon/Heating unit in every room was super required due to the cold weather. My wife and I loved it and for sure will be back again 100% recommend!"

"This is a gorgeous penthouse suite overlooking the Thames in Woolwich. We loved eating at the nearby Dial Arch and The Guard House Pubs. Good food and atmosphere. There are a number of shops within a 5 minute walk (M&S, Tesco, etc). It is also very convenient to the Elizabath Line which is a direct line from Heathrow. Two well furnished en suite bedrooms, and a powder room. Plenty of room for us and our grandson. Very nice furnishings, modern, lovely, secure building. Our host, Daniel, was...

The Gantry London, Curio Collection by Hilton

5/5 Excellent

"Lovely property! Gorgeous decor! Rooms were spacious and very modern. Clean and good attention to detail. Only criticism is it would have been nice to be welcomed to a bottle of water or two in the room, especially to be able to make some tea/coffee in the morning. WiFi was also a bit slow. Could search just fine but calls weren’t good quality if planning to work. Overall good would stay again. "

"Amazing stay at MOXY Stratford. Staff is very cool and friendly. It is more than a Hotel ! You can drink, work, play games all the night with fun music background. Confort is good, rooms are clean and well maintained. Stratford is full or restaurants near where you can eat till late night. There are EU sockets for European travellers in the room and USB ports ready to use also, no need for adaptées (althrough in our room, 2 USB ports near the bed were not working). Prices at the bar are correct, and pizzas are really good ! Stratford station is at 2 minutes walking away from the hotel, and deserves the most stations (Jubilee, Central, Circle and more). Westfield shopping center is 2 minutes walking too (shopping to room is made easy, of course !) Hope to come back soon 👌"

Spring River Ebbsfleet by Marston's Inns

5/5 Excellent

"The staff couldn’t be more welcoming and friendly! Was so happy with the convenience of being near a Coop and the restaurant/bar nearby. Was able to have a delicious meal there one evening. The room was spacious, clean and well equipped with everything I needed. There wasn’t any noise from the other rooms apart from the doors slamming occasionally. The hotel in general was very quiet. Am definitely booking to stay here again whilst I am working in the area. Very happy! "
