Ruskin Hotel

A good cheep rate hotel that is showing the signs of age. The rooms are OK but there is often something broken - shower door, toilet roll holder, curtain or blinds etc. The comfort level of the beds is hit and miss, some are really great but others uncomfortable. Get there early if you want to park in the car park. A 5-10 minute walk to the nearest tube.

The hallway door frame had chunks missing from it and the hall walls had chunk missing from them in certain areas. Our bathroom was disgusting......makeup on the walls, toilet refuse to flush on it and therefore you have to keep pressing the button in other for it to flush, there was urine and stains on the tiles insider the shower, the bed was very uncomfortable, the bedside table had used tissues on it and was covered with nail varnish on the side, the chair leg was fallen off and the view wasn't nice. However, the gentle man that checked us in was friendly and welcoming. Sadly can't upload the images I've got on my phone to show as evidence.

Selected hotel because it was the closest to where I was going. Quite clean with very polite staff. The room was clean too so was the shower, although it appears someone got too excited installed 'LED' lighting but must have installed really dim lights leaving rooms too dim especially the bathroom- those lumens must have been equivalent to 25-30 watts. I thought the rooms were clean- maybe its the lights that were too dim :). Blocked drain in shower and broken items like showerhead and toilet paper holder. Don't be put off as these are things they can quickly fix- in fact when I reported, they were willing to act straight away but I said I could make do. It does the job if your aim is just a bed to sleep on and not luxury and frills.

stayed for the football as west hams new ground is quite close and we'd stayed the year before for the same fixture its a great hotel above a pub excellent for a beer n food rooms had everything we needed and the staff were always on hand to deal with any queries would stay again without doubt
