Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about City Inn Express Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
City Inn Express Hotel provides a practical and clean base for exploring London, especially convenient for attending events at The Moth Club or accessing Hackney Central tube station with a short walk. Many find it a good value, especially when needing just a comfy bed and shower. The location near a Texaco garage can be handy, though some guests have noted the surrounding area's appearance. From Victoria station, bus 26 offers a scenic route to the hotel, passing several monuments.

mixed feelings about this stay

expensive parking
my allocated room was on the second floor. i found this difficult as i have mobility issues. parking was also problematic, i was asked to pay £20 to park. a mattress propped against a garage door acted as a barrier (this fell over in the morning).

The location was good because it was close to many restaurants. Staff members where friendly and helpful to me. The check-in process was easy.
The window in my room didn't shut all the way. That let in a lot of noise from the street. The bed covering also wasn't clean and needs to be replaced.
