OYO DORSET HOUSE AT UPTON PARK, London

The guest house sits on Green Street, a lively high street with numerous Indian, Pakistani, and Middle Eastern restaurants, supermarkets (Lidl, Tesco), and street-food options within a short walk. Upton Park tube station is a 5-10 minute walk, providing direct links to central London. Stratford Tube Station is 4 km away and London Stadium 5 km. The immediate neighbourhood is densely populated and feels less safe late at night; the main entrance doors sometimes remain unlocked, so exercise caution when returning after dark. Daytime, the area is active and well-served by buses and trains.

The property has seven rooms across three floors: rooms 1-2 on the ground floor, 3-5 on the first, and 6-7 on the second. Each room includes a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, a dining area, wardrobe, and heating. Some rooms are compact and may have limited natural light - ground-floor room 2 has no window, only a side door to a shared balcony. A fan is provided in some rooms as an alternative to air conditioning. Noise transmission is noticeable through thin walls and from the communal areas, especially in rooms near the entrance or kitchen. The bed frames and mattresses vary in condition; some are firmer and older. Stairs to upper-floor rooms are steep and narrow.

Wi-Fi is available free of charge in all areas; speed is generally fine for browsing and streaming. The property is secured with CCTV in common areas and outside, plus smoke alarms and fire extinguishers. Luggage storage is offered for early arrivals or late departures. A shared kitchen with basic appliances is available. Check-in is self-service via codes sent by email. Staff are contactable by phone but may not always be on site; response times can vary, particularly outside office hours. No TV is provided in the rooms. No daily cleaning or linen change is offered during multi-night stays.
