In terms of accessibility to central London, I now find the Spark in Romford more advantageous than the Hilton Croydon, which is also penalized by the 20-minute journey on bus 119 to reach East Croydon station.
Thanks for posting the review. I've been looking at this hotel for exactly the same reason (and recognise your comments about the Hilton Croydon) - the price is significantly cheaper than other London hotels and the transport links better than some Hiltons in zone 2.
