Elena Hotel

( 4 stars , London , United Kingdom )

This motel is cheap, that is its best quality. It is on a very busy and loud street making it difficult to sleep. Our room was hot, but we didn't feel safe leaving the window open. We had a television, but no reception. We were traveling with our children, and our rooms were on different levels, no where near each other. Their room seemed to be quieter. The staff was helpful when we checked in early, getting us a room, but it really didn't make up for the fact that the rooms were really, really run down and loud. Breakfast was okay. I would not stay here again. On our way home we found a wonderful motel (with a pool and everything) next to the airport for less, so even if your on a tight budget there are better deals out there than this one!

Last summer I stayed at Elena hotel for three nights and everything was acceptable enough. That is why I decided to come back this time. I knew the hotel is basic but this time I was very disapointed. Our room was on the ground floor. I booked a trip

first the hotel is located at 20mn by foot to angel station so be careful. then it's the fisrt time in my life that we were agressed by some customer in the hotel because we asked to be more quiet( it was 1 hour ) . nobody do something included the manager. we had to push the chest of drawers and the bed behind the door to protects us because they wanted to fight and kill us. we had to call the police our self . at last we left the hotel in the midle of the night and of course they didn't want to get's our money back,it's the true. Althought it's not expensive its a DANGEROUS PLACE.

not expansive for london. well located and very easy to move with bus and underground.

The location of the hotel is good,just few bus stations away once one out of the subwaystation.There is a bus station in front of the hotel,and loundrystore, supermarkets are also near by the hotel. Room and the bathroom in the floor are clean,staffs are nice and friendly,although the veriaty of breakfest is limited,but quite satisfying.

Last summer I stayed at Elena hotel for three nights and everything was acceptable enough. That is why I decided to come back this time. I knew the hotel is basic but this time I was very disapointed. Our room was on the ground floor. I booked a triple room and I was given a room of single size with four beds on it. TV did not work. Coffee and Te was not available. Bins had not being emptied and when we moved the beds we realized that housekeepers dont do that very often... I dont think Hotel Elena is following the low regarding the smoking band. The semell of cigarettes was horrible so we had to have the windows opened, therefore did not sleep much due to the noisy road the hotel is located at. I thought that breakfast would make up the horrible room, but when we got there (09.30) not much food was left and when we asked for certain items where told that breakfast was over even if this is served till 10. So we just have some white toast. Not exactly what I call full english breakfast. Defenitly dont even give it a go. Not worth it.

Yes it's noisy, yes it's basic, but it is clean and in a great location and for this kind of price I would definately go back. I found the staff pleasant, friendly and polite. The walls are paper thin as it is a converted house, so it does get very noisy, my advise is take some earplugs. However, the location is great, being in walking distance of the centre of Islington which has tube links to the rest of the city. The rooms, although full of mismatched furniture, were clean and pleasant, with tea and coffee making facilities, a vanity unit and a colour TV. The shared bathrooms were very nice and clean and decorated to quite a high standard.

I think the room is essential but really clean. My regard for the breakfast that it's plentiful and well cooked

This has to be the worst hotel I have ever stayed in, they wanted to add a charge for using credit cards, The bathroom was out of toilet paper, and the bathroom floor appeared dirty. It was worst than a back backers

the crew is not nice. there's only one hairdryer for 33 rooms. the room was too hot. the window could not be closed ! the walls are too thin and the first neighbours were really noisy and insane all night long even if you or a crew member asked them to shut'up. but the last nights were more quiet. the breakfast is good and the location is really interesting to move with buses or subway.the TV is a good point and the room is clean. the crew has to perform with the customers and it will be better for all !
