Easy Hotel Croydon July 2019



This isn't the most glamorous hotel in London. Nor even in Croydon.


Its an old office block with the top four or so floors converted into small bedrooms.

 I visited twice in two weeks. It is in a great location just across the road from East Croydon station - which is an easy journey into Central London or beyond. There is a Sainsbury's supermarket open early til late just around the corner.

 It can be very good value for money. On a few occasions I've paid less than £30 which is very cheap for a place 20 minutes from the city.




On these trips. reception were very friendly and welcoming (although I don't know why they insist on ID given lots of more expensive hotels don't ask). The corridor smelt a little but the room was clean. I was put into an accessible room which is twice the size of a normal room. The normal sized rooms are pretty tiny but OK for a one night stay.

 There are no real facilities in the room. No TV but you can purchase a wifi connection. But you have your own bathroom area. And unlike some EasyHotels, the rooms actually have windows!

There is now air conditioning and it works well. If you want a cheap, clean place to stay for a visit to Croydon or even to Central London, this hotel is worth considering.

 But dont stay here if you are fussy and want much more than a bed and a shower.
Value for money: 10
Location: 9 
Room: 5
Would I stay again: Yes

Hilton Gatwick May 2019

I booked this room at the last minute due to a cancelled easyJet flight. The room cost around £100 on a Sunday night. It’s a nice but pretty big hotel and as such, the queue for the reception can be long. It’s a better than average Hilton. I had a drink in the bar which was relatively quiet but not cheap nor desperately exciting. There is a small gym. The big selling point of this hotel is that you can walk there from the terminal building. That said, it’s not a short walk and if I had have had a choice I’d go for the Premier Inn at other terminal as its normally cheaper and quality is consistent. The signage from the terminal isn’t great and it did take me a while to find it even though I have stayed there before. Value for money: 6 Location: 7 Room: 7  Would I stay again: Yes

International Hotel Wembley May 2019

Another London stay and another day at a Wembley hotel. Not only is Wembley relatively cheap when there are no big events on at the stadium or the arena, its also quite a short journey into Central London on the Jubilee line (although it gets very busy in the morning coming into London) The hotel looks shabby from outside and in. It is cluttered and feels very dated and in need of refurbishment. The room was OK and pretty large but the staff weren’t particularly welcoming at reception. Value for money: 7 Location: 6 Room: 5  Would I stay again: Only if other places were much cheaper

Premier Inn Frankfurt Messe May 2019

I’ve stayed here twice now, both on a Sunday evening. This time I paid under 50 Euros for the night (including breakfast). The hotel is a bit of a walk from the train station, and it’s not easy or particularly pleasant to do with suitcases. The hotel is near a shopping centre (skyline Plaza) and the Messe Frankfurt.   The area is not a very interesting area to potter around and it seems to cater predominantly to people visiting the Messe. There are a few of restaurants along the street but there wasn’t much else to keep me entertained in the local area. The room was great and really great value for money. Service brilliant and friendly as Premier Inn almost always is. Value for money: 10 Location: 6 Room: 10 Would I stay again: Yes
