Hotel Tennyson (London, United Kingdom)

The Tennyson Hotel is aimed at budget travellers looking for the most affordable accommodation that is still close enough to London City centre. In this regard the hotel succeeds with very basic rooms offering a good night’s sleep.

The hotel is close to the central tube station of Walthamstow, providing easy access to most of London in short time. The London suburbs of Islington and Hackney are also just fifteen minutes away by car or cab where travellers can enjoy theatres, live entertainment and many well-priced bars and restaurants.

While much of the hotel is focused on offering the basics without many of the standard types of extras including TV’s and even towels, they do offer free Wi-Fi throughout the property. This is a great advantage for budget travellers who are able to research and book the best deals while using this hotel as an affordable base.

Rooms are very basic with only the bare minimum in terms of extras and amenities. Each room features a bed and basic furnishings. Some travellers may find this too basic even on small budgets.

The walls and doors of each room are extremely thin with no added soundproofing at all. This can be very distracting, particularly at night, as one can hear the movements of every guest on the property.

All guests must share bathroom facilities as well as kitchen facilities. This is in-line with most budget orientated types of accommodation but may not be to everyone’s taste. This is particularly true of the shared bathroom facilities and the often limited supply of hot water.
