Market View by BridgeStreet

Unable to get in the road on a Saturday due to a market taking place. Had to park in Parnell Road. Hotel entrance door was off-puttingly dirty - the front or reception did not look like the photos included in the booking page. The the chap booking us in was very nice and helpful. Sheets and towels were clean, so were the toilet and sinks. The floor in the kitchen and bathroom could do with bleach/descaler as it did not look presentable. Some mould on the silicone, mould on the ceiling. The hotel could do with a bit of a refresh (even a lick of paint would do). Furniture in the room looked quite modern, the bed was very comfortable. Had a flat screen TV with a sky box, a kettle and a fan - life saver! #8 bus to Tottenham Court Road within a short walk. Fairly close (25 min walk) to the Olympic Park/ArcellorMittal Orbit Slide which is where we needed to get to. Not much happening in the area after 1am (local pub was empty by that stage).

First of all, there is no breakfast. I stayed at this hotel for 2 weeks and the police were called at least two times. There is something very dodgy about this place. The staff party all night with their friends. I came out of my room to find them slumped in chairs and laying on the couch next to the door. Also, the smoke alarms in the rooms are not even installed properly. Guests smoke in their rooms. Avoid this hotel at all costs, unless you are looking for the perfect location to do something dodgy.

What an awful place. Toilet, washbasin and shower all in a shower cubicle, no loo roll holder, no shelves or ledges to put anything down. 2 sockets - 1 broken - in whole room. Dusty, dirty skirting boards and corners everywhere. Us 2 70yr old had to flee for home (300 miles away in Newcastle) at 3 in the morning as guy in next room was trying to punch through the wall. What a nightmare!
