Spark by Hilton London Romford Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Spark by Hilton London Romford on South Street, you immediately get the sense this is Hilton’s answer to modern budget travel done right. The building has that fresh, contemporary look that screams “we actually thought about design here” — which honestly isn’t something you can say about every three-star property in the area. It’s part of Hilton’s newer Spark brand, and you can tell they’ve put effort into making it feel more boutique than your typical chain hotel.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s what I really appreciate about this spot in Romford — you’re genuinely well-positioned without paying central London prices. The train station is close enough that getting into Liverpool Street takes about 25 minutes, which means you can actually explore London properly without the eye-watering accommodation costs. Couples seem to get this location particularly well (they’ve rated it 8.2), and I can see why. There’s something nice about having a proper base outside the chaos where you can actually unwind, but still being connected enough that you don’t feel stranded.

The Room Experience

The room design follows that modern Spark aesthetic — clean lines, smart use of space, and everything feels purposeful rather than cluttered. What struck me most was how they’ve managed to make relatively compact spaces feel comfortable rather than cramped. The beds are properly comfortable (not just hotel-adequate), and there’s decent storage space, which matters more than you’d think when you’re living out of a suitcase. The tech integration works well too — USB ports where you actually need them, good lighting for both working and relaxing.

Breakfast & Dining

The breakfast setup here is honestly better than I expected. They do both full English/Irish and buffet options, and the quality is solid — not just the usual sad hotel breakfast situation. I mean, when you’re paying three-star prices, you don’t always expect the breakfast to be a highlight, but they’ve clearly put thought into it. The buffet has good variety, and the full English is properly done, which sets you up well whether you’re heading into London for sightseeing or have business meetings to tackle.

Why Guests Love It

What really comes through in guest feedback is that this place delivers on its promises without trying to be something it’s not. Recent guests have rated the location 8.4, and that makes complete sense when you experience how well-connected yet peaceful this area feels. It’s that sweet spot where you get reliable Hilton standards and modern amenities, but at a price point that doesn’t make you wince every time you think about your accommodation budget. The staff seem to understand they’re serving travelers who want efficiency and comfort without unnecessary fuss — and honestly, that’s exactly what most of us need when we’re exploring a new city or handling business travel.
