Holiday Homes in Ongar

"Location of hotel was nice, you really are right on the water & the staff were very nice & friendly however the room was extremely outdated, not in a preserve the original architecture but in lack of upkeep, random holes in the bathroom, missing light fixtures, black spots all along the ceiling in the bathroom. The lobby of the hotel was also under construction."

"This is a hotel that you would book only for the location. Walls are thin, rooms are very tiny (can't even open a suitcase on the floor), there is only a hanging bar for a closet and there is no dresser, just a couple of open shelves beside the desk so I had to keep some clothes in the suitcase which I didn't have anywhere to store out of the way either. The bathroom and shower literally could not be any smaller because there wasn't even room for a door that opened into or out, only a sliding door. My showerhead kept falling off and hitting me in the head even though I informed the hotel on the first day. There is no teapot/coffee pot or any robe/slippers and there is not even a telephone. They only took out the trash and brought a clean towel on the 5th day (I left the next day). I later learned that I could request someone to come and take out the trash, but there is no phone so you have to download an app to do so. They charge for everything. Room is ready and you are an hour early for checkin? Still 20 pounds. Want to instead have them hold your luggage (even though the room is ready)? That will be 10 pounds for each bag. Want to have them clean more than every fourth day (check-in day doesn't count toward that by the way)? That will be another 25 pounds. You get the idea. For those of you who are familiar with Motel 6 in the US, it is similar. The location is handy, but I am afraid that was the only pleasant feature."

"Amazing hotel, great location, family friendly and great views. Will definitely be staying again on my next trip to London."

"Lovely hotel, nice location. The bedroom although nice was a little tired"

"The President Hotel is within walking distance of the British Museum. The tube station is nearby. The room was small, but not unexpected in London. We had a terrible breakfast at the hotel and opted to go to coffee shops thereafter. It is walkable to the theaters and a long walk to Trafalgar Square, but a nice walk."
