Conveniently placed about a 10-min walk from Forest Gate Tube station and also a ton of take-out places and shops for places to eat. I did get a little side-tracked on the way by a building that had Hotel DC signage outside, but then realised it was the much nicer building further up opposite the car wash.
Staff were really friendly and helped with my suitcase on arrival. Room size was decent, although the bathroom was a little cramped - not sure I would have enjoyed the stay as much if I had been sharing with another person.
Body wash is provided by the hotel, I would advise taking your own toiletries.
Wi-Fi connection was decent on my laptop, a little iffy on my phone.
The only thing I found a little uncomfortable was the lighting - the overhead lights are unmercifully bright when you lie down and a lamp or something would have really helped a lot.
