Email sent to you already. you have asked them to refund my money with compensation. I am still waiting for your positive reply. Dear Sir/Madam, In reference to the booking no: 4979826225 for my stay in Ilford, Essex, England from 6th April until 14th April, I want to inform you about my experience with Britannia Inn Hotel: After my long tiring flight from Lahore to London for 16 hours and then from Heathrow airport to Ilford journey by train for 90 minutes followed by a long walk from Ilford station with a heavy suitcase and hand luggage, I was expecting my nice stay at Britannia, Ilford. But on my arrival at 9:00 PM, 6thApril, I was told after taking £100 for security purpose that there was no space available for me and therefore they would book another hotel which was shocking and quite painful for me. It never happened to me before as I had booked hotels so many times through you. It took about an hour for the lady at reception to book a place at Best Western hotel, argyle road, Ilford. I was not happy with the room condition of this hotel either but I was left with no choice. The entire exercise was done without giving me any other options. Due to no communication, with the customer before arrival and bad management on arrival I request you to refund my money back into my account, otherwise I may think about taking a legal action. Yours Sincerely, Prof Dr Iqtadar Seerat

Ilford Luxury Apartments, hotel in Ilford

Located just 7 minutes’ walk from Ilford Rail Station, Ilford Apartments offer modern self-catering accommodation with free WiFi and free on-site parking.

Before we started our trip it was hard to get in contact with someone about picking up the keys. We were arriving on a Sunday, when the business that normally hands out the keys was closed (there is no one on the actual accommodation site, it's all automated codes). We tried sending a couple of messages in booking.com, but they were not answered. However, after ringing the accommodation's phone number, their staff member was very helpful, and arranged us to meet someone at the reception of a near by hotel. That person was very helpful and getting in from there was easy. The accommodation is nice and modern, with all the amenities described. The area is quite and peaceful. There are a large range of stop in the Ilford shopping center (about 500m walk away) and the Elizabeth Line train station is also the same distance nearby.

More Than Just a London Suburb

Ilford benefits from a train station on the fast line between Liverpool Street and Shenfield. Since Stratford, site of the Olympic Park, is only a few stations away, Ilford rose in international popularity during the build-up to the 2012 Games. However, location isn't all it has going for it.

The Borough of Redbridge is run from its Grade II-listed Victorian town hall, on a pedestrian precinct which includes the Ilford Exchange shopping centre. To the west is another Grade II-listed building: the 12th-century Hospital Chapel of St Mary and St Thomas of Canterbury.

The UK’s only complete mammoth skull was found underneath the high street and is now displayed in London’s Natural History Museum. Redbridge Museum houses more archaeological finds, and the 17th-century Valentines Mansion features a Victorian kitchen and beautiful gardens.

Actually outside of the capital when built, the mansion is now firmly within Greater London and is surrounded by Valentines Park with its boating lake and cricket pitch where Essex County once played.

The diverse cuisine of Ilford’s restaurants reflects its multicultural population, and there are also several good bars and a club near Gants Hill Tube station that is popular with reality TV stars. Nearby Ilford accommodation on Booking.com includes hotels with parking and cheap guest houses.

    As a black person I felt comfortable among the Asian population and I saw other persons of color as well. The town is lively and friendly. The Turkish food was a blast. The shopping center has almost everything. For black women, there's a hair shop in the main shopping area. The prices are reasonable for London

    The location. Very near to Ilford Train station. Good transport links into London and outside London. The staff were very professional, friendly and helpful. Room very clean and fresh sets of towels were replaced every day. It has a lift, which is always a good thing, especially if you have luggage. Also very near to The Exchange Shopping centre, which has M&S and TKMaxx

    Really close to the station and easy to get to buy car, and plenty of parking (parking is £6 for the duration of your stay, which is ace). Very clean hotel and lovely attentive staff, very reasonably priced and comfy beds. Will definitely be using this place every time I need to go down to London.

    Good location that’s convenient for Gants Hill and Ilford. Management reacted to my concerns of cleanliness and arranged another hotel locally for my last night. In this case you get what you pay for and for those that want a clean room it probably work paying a little more. Lesson learned

    Booked this hotel because of the location, opposite Valentines Park, at Ilford. Another reason, breakfast was included in the price so it was an add. Reception staff was kind and helpful, breakfast was ok, including bread toast, eggs, beans, sausages and coffee.
