Rooms were small but adequate as a place to just sleep whilst staying in London. It is a bit of a trek if you want to visit central London attractions but there is Shepherd's Bush market within walking distance, although this was disappointing. The restaurant that provides breakfast (or £20 towards dinner) was fabulous. Super friendly staff and great Italian food. There was a bit of an odour in the corridors of the hotel, which the staff were using incense sticks to try and eradicate, but the room was fine. The pub a few doors down was definitely worth a visit- great vibe, good value and the food smelt amazing. Basically if you want somewhere cheap and cheerful to get your head down and you don't mind a bit of tube hopping then this was a great base for the price.

I loved my stay at the 261! Very friendly and supportive staff. The room I stayed in was comfortable and the facilities were readily available without issue. My only gripe was that the room was too warm and there was no means to cool it down.

The room was small but perfect for our stay. It was very clean and well-maintained. There’s also a lovely pub right next to the hotel on the corner.

A cute hotel with wonderful, friendly customer service at the front desk. The room is compact, as would be expected at this great price range. There are good options for connecting with bus routes from this location.

Room was ok, toilet had been used before I had arrived which had a nice smell... After flushing that was resolved. The sink drainage stopper was broken which meant it would fill up and drain slowly. The window was shut but it still had a breeze and sound coming through, not a huge issue as I was too tired to care. Parking is fine but a tad tight with modern cars. Not quite worth the £15 per night. Overall not a bad cheap hotel for the location and time frame. If I need to be in that area again I'll definitely look at this property again.

Pretty decent for the price, good for short a short stay! Very clean and comfortable, bathroom was tidy with a good shower (hot and good pressure), easy transport links for central London and Wembley stadium. Staff were friendly and helpful. The only issue we encountered was a lack of power to the plug sockets when we came back late at night (reception was closed at this point) but this only lasted about 15 minutes before they came back on so not sure what happen there All in all a good stay! Thank you :)
