Basic but cosy.
It was a basic hotel but it was perfect for a weekend away watching the football and taking in Walthamstow's breweries.
The room was near the top of the hotel and there was no lift so be aware that you may need to walk up a few flights of stairs. There is no air con but the room had a ceiling fan which took the edge off a very warm evening.
The room also had a fridge which was handy.
All of the staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast is on offer but I did not partake.

The cozy room was perfect for travellers that just need a place to stay overnight.
That said, the small wardrobe in the room was not anchored to the wall and would topple over onto you when the door was opened. How is that acceptable?

Friendly service, very good! but...
The friendly service is very good. However, the room is not soundproofed, so I can hear the cars passing by. The room is too cold at night. The location is unfortunate as it is far from the subway station.

Late arrival, early checkout
Room was presented well and warm. Clean towels.
Bed had lots of black hairs under the covers abd had clearly not been changed from previous guest. Arrived late so slept on-top of covers and left straightaway in the morning.
Very cheap so wasn't expecting the world but would like clean bedding as a minimum.

Had to leave room key with reception every time you leave the building. Felt very unsafe as they could easily take all valuable items from your room.

Pleasantly surprised!
We saw mixed reviews about the commongate before we booked so were a little apprehensive on our journey down. We were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of our room given the very low price. It’s never going to be the Ritz but this hotel is absolutely fine to stay in if you’re happy with the basics and just want a room to sleep in. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a cheap stay in London. I would come back here again. The only very very minor feedback point is that they only give you 1 pillow and the water from the bathroom has a sign on it saying it is not drinkable, so make sure you bring your own water or you can just use the kettle in the room.

Flot morgenmad med mange muligheder. Frisklavet fra menukortet, så ingen buffet, der har stået længe. Alt blev lavet ved bestilling.
Boede på 3. Sal uden elevator

Unlikely to revisit
The website indicated that limited parking was available but nowhere does it say it had to be booked in advance. Luckily they managed to find a rather tight corner for our car.
The room, although clean, was very small with the double bed pushed up against the wall.
It is highly unlikely that we’ll visit Walthamstow again and the hotel would not attract us back which is a shame as we found a very pleasant tapas bar in the town which served excellent food and wine.
