Barking's Most Central Accomodation and other Barking Town, United Kingdom Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

I live in Barking and have not stayed at this B&B - Details given for information purposes only. However, having read numerous review sites about accomodation in Barking, I have come to the conclusion that this might be the overall best value for money - I have not seen one single negative comment about this hotel / B&B and it is certainly the most central. All the others apart from the Barking Park Hotel are located in Highbridge Road, Barking which is about a 10/15 minute walk away from the town centre/station.

Unique Qualities: Almost opposite the station.
2 minutes walk from Vicarage Fields Shopping Centre.

Each room has a wash basin, TV, fridge and coffee making machine and for £25, in London that’s amazing !!

One of only 2 Etap Hotels in London - The other is near City Airport

The rooms include a double bed and a bunk bed with hanging space for clothes and a TV, There are no keys. You are allocated a PIN number at check in, which you enter onto a pad at the front door and your room door to unlock them.

Each room has a very small bathroom with shower. This is the main difference between Etap and Formule next door.

Breakfast is an all you can eat buffet, with coffee, tea, hot chocolate, orange juice and various types of bread, butter and preserves.

The front desk is staffed only during breakfast and peak check in times (5-9 or 10). At other times there is a machine into which you put the card you used to guarantee your booking, and it debits the money and gives you a receipt and the PIN to get into the hotel and your room. If you don't have a reservation, and there are rooms available, you can use the same method to secure one. You can also be reminded of your PIN by inserting your card.

Guests at Etap Hotels can get sometimes special deals at the IBIS restaurant next door. (Please check!)

The fact that the showers are outside not inside the rooms at Hotel Formule is the main difference between them and the Etap Hotel chain next door.

You can read all about the Hotel Formule concept on Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_Formule_1 and probably tell from that whether or not is is for you.
