Top Epping Forest Hotel Reviews

Southgate Hotel London

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, friendly staff"

Delta Hotels by Marriott Waltham Abbey

4/10 Poor

"I purposely booked the room with air conditioning as travelling on a hot day 26/27 May. On the hottest day in the UK, the air con at the hotel was faulty. I heard the staff say there was a maintenance happening on site. Well, stuck in a room, where the entire floor has no cool air conditioning, you guess how unpleasant that was. Room 264, the air-con control unit was faulty. It turned itself off every 20 minutes after manually restarting. Got changed to room 261, where the control unit worked but there were no cool air, just air circulation. Sleep was not happening…"

Lucky 8 Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"Warning , you will be asked give all your details on arrival even if you have already given them all to book the hotel. You will have to pay £100 deposit upfront on top of your arrival. I stayed for 2 days ago and I’m still waiting for the deposit back, I have called the hotel and they are blaming the bank . The parking is very limited and all on street parking is expensive but free at 6:30pm . I would not stay here again"

Best Western London Ilford Hotel

8/10 Good

"When I arrived I was allocated a twin room 2 floors up. As I have mobility issues I use the room. There is no lift at the hotel.The receptionist said that was not a problem and offered me a single room on the ground floor. Thank you Olga for that. The room was a bit small but as there was only me it didn't matter. The bed was comfortable and I had a good night's sleep. The shower was excellent. Breakfast was buffet style with plenty of hot and cold food. Tea coffee and different juices where available. The breakfast was hot and enjoyable. The price was excellent. The next time I am in London I will be staying there again. Excellent location beside the train station and 10 minutes into the centre of London. Special mention to the staff excellent and very courteous. Well done."

Ridings at Theobalds Park

6/10 Okay

"Stayed over the bank holiday weekend. Lovely setting with rabbits and squirrels running around the grounds. Ate at the on-sight restaurant - several items not available on the menu, no lager available either. Food was very good with Sunday roasts. Asked the restaurant manager what time breakfast was on Monday as we had to leave at 8am- he said 7am start! Woke up and went to breakfast around 7.20- all locked up and told by reception that it was open at 8am as it was bank holiday! Made the venue seem very amateur, which is a shame given the property and its lovely grounds!"

Park Hotel

6/10 Okay

"I have stayed at the Park Hotel for 6 weeks now and the last room they offered me was not up to standard. The mattress was practically on the floor and despite being told all rooms had fridges, this one didn't. The room they moved me to had a fridge, but no chair, no kettle, no bin and the private bathroom was out in the corridor, down some steps. Not ideal, but better than the first room. I was going to re-book for the next 4 weeks, but I'm not sure I can cope with arriving at 11pm and running all over this sprawling property, trying to find a usable room."
