Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel 261 is often praised for its clean and spacious rooms, some even featuring a kettle, tea, coffee, milk, fridge, heating and USB plugs. Many appreciate the convenience of the location, with a bus stop right outside that provides quick access to Shepherd's Bush tube station, Westfield shopping centre, bars and restaurants; the area around the hotel also offers a wide selection of dining options. While the breakfast arrangement at a nearby Italian restaurant, involving a limited menu and extra cost for drinks, has been a point of concern for some, guests consider the hotel a good value overall. The comfortable beds and quiet location also contribute to a positive experience for many.

lovely stay

helpful staff short stay really good value

the staff were very helpful with late check in. the room was exactly as described perfect for a short stay within my budget. the location was convenient and i found the value to be really good for what i needed.

the small reception area needed better lighting. i think some fresh flowers would lift the space. the carpets could also be updated to improve the first impression.

bus stop clean room small reception area small room

the bus stop was conveniently located right outside, a short ride to shepherd's bush tube station and westfield shopping centre. i found the location to be surprisingly quiet, a major plus. the room itself was clean and comfy (just what i needed!).

The reception area felt a bit small and dark. It could use some freshening up. my twin room was also quite small. i found it difficult to move around one of the beds to adjust the curtains (it was pushed right against the radiator).
