Review by hotel critic
Barking B & B Hotel offers a practical accommodation option for those seeking affordability while exploring London. I recently enjoyed a two-night stay there, and while the budget-friendly rates are its main draw, the experience is a mixed bag. Upon arrival, I appreciated the proximity to the tube station, making it easy to get into central London. The room I occupied featured a flat-screen TV, a small electric kettle, and the essential amenities of a bathroom and heating that worked adequately. Cleanliness was notable, which is always a vital consideration. While the absence of high-end services like room service and luxury toiletries was evident, the 24-hour reception staff displayed a courteous demeanor, ready to assist with luggage if needed. For guests preferring a straightforward, no-frills stay, this hotel serves well. Be mindful that it trades luxury for value, making for a sensible, if not extravagant, choice in Barking.
