We (2 adults and a 2 yr old) stayed at the King's Arms in August 2011 and found it to be clean, comfortable, well connected (bus stops, DLR and tube within short walking distances), and the staff, especially Mr Dil, were extremely helpful and friendly. The riots broke out whilst we were there, and Mr Dil went to great lengths... More

This was value for money. A great location in terms of buses to the O2 (where we spent quite a few nights), and easy access to the DLR and underground. The staff were welcoming and extremely friendly, providing maps and advice wherever possible, and the room - albeit tiny - was well maintained (we had a window along the street... More

Okay, it looks terrible from the outside, BUT what a gem! Interior spotlessly clean, comfy bed, fully equipped room, if a little small. (remember this is a budget hotel) Excellent value, fully stocked free kitchen meant we felt right at home. Location fantastic considering the price, right by tube station. Staff were brilliant and so helpful :-) Thanks guys! See... More

Great value for money. Rooms are small, but clean and neat. So is the bathroom. DIY stocked kitchen is fantastic. Great location in terms of public transport. Staff very friendly and helpful. Fast, free Wifi. Outside a bit run down, but inside is great. Do not stay here if you want to spend a lot of time in the room,... More

Staff is friendly, rooms are very small and are not what you expect from the photo's on internet. If you have a private shower, you shower in the toilet. It is reasonably clean, sheets and blankets are old but clean. With the tube from central london to plaistow station (district- or hammersmith line) takes about 25 minutes. You can take... More

great place, clean room, very friendly staff, loved the kitchen area, the room, the location, 5min walk to the tube, DLR at bow church, buses to the center, i hope to be there again next time i go to london!

Upon arrival, the desk clerk insisted we pay in cash. He felt it would save us money instead of using a credit card. I explained I didn't have that much British currency. He was satisfied t get it later. The room was very small but clean. No wash cloths or soap was made available. The employees were quite friendly and... More
