The Hotel DC has been recently refurbished, so is netter than many of the other independent budget hotels in East London.  It's not ideally placed for public transport being 12-15  minutes walk from two Elizabeth Line stations (Forest Gate or Maryland), and the area feels a little edgy at night; you might want to get a taxi if you are carrying luggage.  It's also about a 20 minute bus ride from the ExCel Centre (bus 325 runs quite frequently).  
I had a small double room in the basement; there's only one stool and no proper seat (and no space for one).  Like many budget hotels it has shelves and hangers, but no cupboard or drawers.  The shower worked OK, and there's the full range of Freeview channels on the TV, accessing the radio ones rook a bit of guesswork on the controls.  There was a slightly annoying green light on the emergency backup light (I think) and the card control for power flashed blue all night - neither stopped me getting to sleep, but like the noisy and long-running extract fan weren't ideal; I could also hear some noise from the neighbouring room. 
There's a kettle in the room, and rather better coffee available freely in reception, but I couldn't see any decaf.  The hot breakfast offered help yourself fried eggs, baked beans, hash browns, bacon and pork sausages, plus a choice of 4 cereals, but only dilute orange or lemon squash (not juice).  There were no yoghurts or pastries.
Despite the slight niggles, I'd be happy staying there again if the price is right.  But despite what their website says, I wouldn't class it as a boutique hotel.  NB This used to be called "Travel Inn".

Recently refurbished independent hotel.

I have to say that I was actually encouraged  by the reviews, but still held a certain amount of scepticism. I felt it was too good a deal for an accessible part of London, with affordable parking. The price, which included breakfast, was great. As it turned out, so was the experience. 

The staff were incredibly helpful, friendly and polite. The room, though small, was well turned out, lovely and clean and the bed allowed a comfortable night’s sleep. The hot breakfast was also rather good! 

So, I am happy to join those who are full of positivity about this nice little gem.

A little gem!

I stayed here for work for around 8 weeks, I can't really fault the place, the beds were nice and comfy, the staff very friendly, and there was a full breakfast on every morning, although I only had it a couple of times as I was out too early most times for work

Clean and tidy rooms

10/10 would definitely recommend! Very pleasant staff, quiet and tidy reception. The rooms were so nice, nice interior! 
The breakfast buffet was a bit small and lacking but ok.
There is air conditioning in the room which is very good! There is also a TV in the room, you can watch Youtube, Netflix, disney+ etc! Very good!
Overall a very good hotel and at a very good price!

10/10 would definitely recommend!

The hotel overall was clean, if we dont count moldy shower. The staff were nice- I could see that they are really trying to impress us by friendliness. The area is not the best tho, we found out just after our trip that the crime is that area is apparently a bit higher then in other areas, but we didnt have any problem. If you are coming back during light, I think it is fine. The food was the biggest disapoitment for us. We are checking into such hotels for a reason, and one of them is the good breakfasts, but here it was just the same breakfast every day. I am not sure if I would survive for a week like this. Also the quality overall of the food, meh. Would not eat again. And I am not a picky eater so.
But overall I would give 4 start for the way how they are handling things with respect and friendliness.

Good experiance for few days

Hotel was beyond my expectations for the price of the room. Centrally located to both Stratford Inter Change and the District line LRT with off road parking in the front of the venue. The room i had (an accessible room) was a large size with a huge wet room. The bed was alittle small for my height (6 foot 2) but still very comfortable and the size did not stop me having a great nights' sleep. Breakfast was a self-service buffet and well presented. The was a good selection of cereals as well as a hot choice (buffet style) with a coffee machine, tea, juices, water, bread and toaster with various toppings as needed. The drink & water are available 24/7 which was ideal for the hot weekday i stayed there. The view out of the bedroom window was on to a side wall but i didnt stay there for the view out of a window, so this did not bother me. Staff were warm and friendly on arrival and during my stay and couldnt do enough for their guests.

A gem of a hotel in a central location

We have just returned from a stay at the DC Hotel. The room we stayed in was clean and spacious and the staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast ws the horn of plenty ! Just a short walk to the Underground and in the the City of London within a jiffy ! Will come back to this nice hotel !

Had a great stay at the Hotel DC !

The staff were friendly and the hotel is clean but it is very basic. There was only 1 (very thin) pillow per person and whilst we asked for extra pillows they were only able to provide one. Room very hot and whilst there was AC it was very noisy so couldn’t sleep with AC on. There was a complimentary breakfast but options were poor quality. Whilst on a main road it wasn’t noisy and is near good transport links

Clean but basic

The Hotel DC was our base of operation for seeing the London sights. The Hotel was very clean, the staff very helpful with any questions we had. We had a single room for 4. The room is quite small but since we were only there to sleep it wasn’t a problem. While the room is small the bathroom is a very nice size. The breakfast was more than adequate to get us started each day prior to seeing the sights. There our multiple options for a lighter breakfast or a full English breakfast if one desires. It is a continental style breakfast. We did not have the use of a vehicle & If you are in town to see the sights of London be aware that the Hotel is a bit away from the heart of London. It is about a 15-20 minute walk to the Stratford Station to catch the Underground trains into London. Uber was affordable though & we did Uber to/fro from the station multiple times during our stay as well as walk down to the station. The Forest Gate station is approx. a 15 minute walk the other direction from the Hotel. We were able to take the Elizabeth Line from Heathrow to this station upon arrival to London.

A 3 night stay for the Family.

Very small, but clean rooms. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Bed was extremely comfortable. It was perfect for my needs. Breakfast was complimentary,  but not very good. Would have liked some fruits. Train station was a mile away, but bus service was steps from the hotel.
