Cheap ,clean and perfect place to stay for me when I'm in London. Good rates available if you book direct. My room was very spacious, clean and big shower. Slightly noisy but it's London. I've been staying on and off at this hotel since 2007.
After being scamed on another accomodation nearby the hotel, I was pointed to the Cricklewood Lodge. The manager was extremely nice getting us a room and making sure we had where to stay for the whole trip as the hotel was booked out for the last days. The rooms were really confortable and clean, we stayed in the triple room and it was spacious enough for us. The hotel is just a 5 minute walk from the underground (30min ride to the center) and just a 2 minute walk from the bus station (35-40 min from the center) . I would definitely recommend it to my friends! 10/10
Booked a single room. Small, basic and tired but adequate for the price paid. Shower was better than expected. 10 min walk to the Kilburn underground station. Then a few minutes further to Kilburn high street where you are spoilt for choice for places to eat etc.
Great place. We booked it as it was the cheapest and nearest to the Wembley stadium. The room is good today for like 2/3 days max. Its a bit of a noisy area, and the walls in the hotel are pretty thin. Other than being a bit noise, everything went smoothly
It is a nice and comfortable place to stay. I can’t wait to be there again on my next travel. It was my first time in London, and I felt like “oh my God, am I in home or in a hotel?”. A very good staff and clean rooms (especially the bathrooms). I loved the place.
Best hotel for the price. Everything top notch as per price.
A budget and a friendly place if you want to travel to London without spending too much time and money on it. The neighborhood is nice and has a lot of cafes and places to do grocery shopping. The hotel staff "Sunny" is always decent and helpful when we need help. When I requested a room change on arrival he happily accommodated and always greeted us when we passed the counter. This was my 2nd time at the hotel and definitely would stay there again. Note: The pic is from the Nearby Costa Cafe.
After reading some of the other reviews on here I was very pleasantly surprised by this hotel. Our room was a good size and very clean, the staff were polite and helpful and the provision of car parking was much appreciated. My only minor complaint would be be that the bed was not very comfortable, but at this price, you can't expect to be staying at The Ritz. Great value for money and I would definitely consider staying again.
Developing residential area with shops & eateries on Cricklewood Broadway, plus Mapesbury Dell park.
