Penthouse with amazing view
First Impressions
Honestly, when I first pulled up to Penthouse with amazing view in Romford, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from a four-star property in this part of Essex. But you know what? Sometimes the best surprises come from places that don’t shout about themselves. The building itself is modern without being flashy, and there’s something refreshingly honest about the whole setup.
The Space That Delivers
The room — well, it’s actually more like having your own private retreat up there. The penthouse setup means you’re getting serious space to spread out, which is rare these days. What really got me was stepping onto that terrace for the first time. The view stretches out over the London skyline in the distance, and on clear days you can actually make out some of the major landmarks. I mean, you’re not in Central London, but honestly? Sometimes that’s exactly what you want.
Location Reality Check
Look, Romford isn’t going to win any beauty contests, but it’s got its advantages if you know how to work it. You’re about 30 minutes from Liverpool Street by train, which isn’t bad at all. The area around Fern Court is pretty quiet — mostly residential, so you won’t have rowdy pub crowds keeping you up. There’s a decent Tesco just a few minutes’ walk away, and the town center has everything you’d actually need without the tourist markup.
The Details That Matter
The kitchenette setup is actually quite thoughtful — they’ve managed to fit in everything you’d need for a proper breakfast or even a simple dinner if you don’t feel like going out. I appreciated having a proper fridge and enough counter space to actually use it. The bathroom has one of those rainfall showers that actually works properly, not like some places where it’s all show and no pressure. Parking is included, which around London is basically like finding gold these days.
Why Guests Keep Coming Back
Here’s what I think really works about this place — it doesn’t try to be something it’s not. You’re getting genuine value, proper space, and that view really does make you feel like you’ve scored something special. The host clearly knows their stuff and has thought through the little things that make a stay comfortable rather than just acceptable. For anyone who wants to be within reach of London without paying London prices, or if you’re doing business around Essex and want somewhere that feels more like a home base than just another hotel room, this penthouse delivers exactly what it promises.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
