Also well placed to the Stratford International railway station and bus station.

POSITIVES

Near Stratford and Westfield Shopping centre also bus station and Trains.

Perfect location for Olympic Park and Stratford Shopping Centre - just a 10 minute walk left from hotel and through the bus station or up the steps into the shops.

One bit of helpful information I can give is if you are on foot from the tube station go over the footbridge outside the Westfield centre near the bus station before following instructions from google maps!

Stratford underground & bus station only minutes walk away at Westfield shopping centre.

Access to location is very easy, from Stratford International or Central just keeping right on High Street (bus station remains on left) are around 5 minutes walking.

5 minutes from Westfield and Stratford train and bus station.

Approx 10 minute walk from Stratford train & bus station.

And the hotel is only a 5 minutes walk to Stratford tube and bus station with connections to almost everywhere in the UK.

Located only a few minutes walk from the nearest tube & bus station, this hotel is clean, tidy and well cared for.

You're a few minutes walk from the train and bus station.

Located in approx 10 min walking from Underground station and approx 5 min from DLR station, bus station is 3 minutes walking from the hotel - it allows easy access to any destination in Central London.

its so close to Westfield and the the tube station and bus station is only a few minutes walk!

This hotel was ideal for travellers as the DLR, train station and bus station is all within walking distance.

Could not wish for better service Wonderful breakfast free wifi friendly helpful staff and great location for underground/bus station and Westfield shopping centre - clean rooms and good comfortable beds

The underground station, the bus station and the train station are all situated “under” the Westfield center.

The hotel is located at half min walk from bus stop, 1 min walk from Tesco and some restaurants, 8 mins walk from Stratford Bus Station and Stratford Underground Station.

but close to Stratford train station and bus station

but if you are after something more then there is always the shopping centre opposite the bus station where there is a Sainsbury’s and a Morrisons and a host of other shops.

Hotel's own car park is very small; we didn't need it, fortunately.

but only because we did not use our car while in Stratford.

but not bad, the staff are not worth the text message, food is ordinary , no bar or resteraunt , 20 pound to park a car theyjust  need better staff ,cheaper parking and try and open up social distancing

On arrival, the only downside to the property is the small car park - which was already full at 2.30 on a Saturday afternoon.

The view from the room is usually of a car park or a street, so I wouldn't choose this place if you are after a city view.

No - I was then informed it was £20.00 per night to park my car - it just gets better.

The smoking area ( in the car park ) would be better placed moved away from the building.

We had one with a view across to the Olympic park, The car park is only small and I believe costs around £20 a night, spaces can't be reserved and I'd recommend if you're staying on a weekend parking at the Westfield Centre which does reduced rates for long weekend stays (we paid £13,50 from Saturday lunch to Monday morning).

Only think don't like is exhorbitant car parking charge of 20 per day nicely located sound.

Although it is on a busy road, you cannot hear the cars.

but when I arrived the hotel car park was full, I called the hotel whilst waiting at the gates to the car park to ask if there was another car park or other parking aviliable and was advised to could try and park along the road (no spaces either) or I could go and park in Bingo which is approx a 5 minute walk away and would also cost £25 a night for that privilege too.

To say there is a car park is a bit of an exaggeration.

but it has few parking spots .so had to park my car at the Shopping center 10 minutes walk.

We used the on site car park, it's pretty small & I'm not sure where else we could have parked had it been full.

I parked my car in Westfield shopping where you pay 6,5£ for 24 hrs during the week and 9,5£ during the weekend.

There is a parking place behind the hotel (exit from reception) for ~30 cars with 20 pounds per day.

For convenience I used the £20 /night locked car park, alternatively could use the cheaper 24 hr Westfield Shopping Centre Car Park.

The only slight criticism I have with this hotel is that the car park is £20 to park overnight and its a tiny car park with about 10 spaces.

Car parking is around £20 per night so also very expensive!

The receptionist told me they had refunded my deposit because they didn't think it was my card!

They have set up mirroring in TV and 4 USB charging plug on both sides of the bed.

Then I went and parked in Westfield's car parks - about 15 minutes walk away and substantially cheaper than the hotel's £20 per car per night charge (I think my two days cost me about £16 at Westfield).

when paying for the room I was told and pre charged a certain amount and I realized once at home  I was actually charged 10 pounds more.

I left the card of 'still inside the room' few times as they change towels and bed sheets every day, and i didn't really need it, as i was staying for a week.

I was then asked, " has anyone mentioned the parking charges" ?

but not charged out at "full London prices".

but the bathroom was shower only, clothes hanging space was just that, and not a wardrobe and annoyingly there were no plugs near the bed so charging phones and using my laptop meant I had to sit up, which was a tad annoying.

The only downsides I found were; 
- poor lighting in both the bathroom and guest room,
- I could only find one plug socket.. which is not very useful when you need to charge a few things ready for the next day!

We were charged £160 for a twin room per night including breakfast ( if you can call it that), best thing about breakfast was the orange juice which was really good, sausages hard and over cooked, powdery scrambled eggs, bacon mostly fat covered, no cups for tea or coffee and had to ask for them, cudnt find

Greeted by very friendly staff and recognised as a PC member, small problem with my key card was sorted by brilliant staff ( I had my key the wrong way round!

We did struggle a couple of times getting into our room with the key card,

but offset somewhat by the £20 parking charge.

Only downside was the price of the room, which despite being charged to my company was still on the high side -

Top tip , if you are tired after walking round sightseeing or have lots of shopping your Oyster card covers the regular bus service to and from the tube station at no extra cost  !

Parking I believe was being charged as a 'first come first served' £20 a day.

Another veggie issue was the yogurts, billed on the 'menu' as 'natural yoghurt', the yoghurt available was Muller Light which is not natural (full of sweeteners and preservatives) and contains pork gelatine, so unsuitable for vegetarians and anyone who doesn't eat pork.

Good marks to the staff at this hotel for allowing us to check in very early when the moronic security firm at the National Gallery refused to let us check in our cabin-sized case.

but if the parking was full one option could be Westfields or where gala bingo use to be.

There is very limited parking at the hotel.

hotel is basic, breakfast was a joke, choice is beans scrabled egg sausage bacon, no more no less, staff are poor with english language, and worst of the worst 40 pound to park 2 days

Hotel parking is expensive (£20 per night) and spaces are limited

We didn't bother with parking at £25 per night.

The only issue we had was the parking, limited space and we got boxed in.

There is very limited parking available on site.

When arriving at the hotel I was aware of the high parking costs,

Parking was a bit annoying as I checked if it was available and was told yes,only to find on arrival that it's £20 for the night.

I have given this hotel two stars purely because of the parking situation.

Oh, and they charge £20 for parking per night in the on-site garage.

Only one down side to this hotel,  there is only a few parking places, so you have to arrive early in the day to ensure your parking.

We managed to get some parking, which was great,  lovely room, bed was a bit soft for mine and my other halfs liking,

The rooms were clean, and nicely layed out  
We were there to see Abba Voyage.

Good room, quiet with good working air conditioning.

Rooms are clean with ours having a small sofa.

Our room was located on the 2nd floor, and i have no complaints.

Clean and quiet rooms, room cleaning has been very efficient,

As a solo traveller, I found the room space adequate

Staff were very friendly and welcoming with the room all prepared nicely and clean.

The room was immaculate and the bed massive and extremely comfortable.

Rooms are sufficient with a comfortable bed, clean, good shower and a pleasant temperature.

The room and hotel were in general very clean.

the receptionist quickly found a twin room and saved us from an embarrassing experience 😂😂😂 The stay was easy!

The room was clean and spacious with everything you needed.

, Timeless Beauty Salon, Floris, The Good Mixer, Crossway Park, Liberty London, The Brown Derby, Henry Sotheran Books, Reels Cinema, Edinboro' Castle, The Whisky Exchange, SageBrown, Cannons (West End), Happy Socks, Royal Oak, Will Shipley: Private British Tours, London Palladium, London Palladium Tour of Theatre, Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, Lewis Schaffer Free Until Famous, Toy Room, Urban Harmony, The Engine Room, Walker's Quay Canal Cruises, Primark, Prestat Chocolates, Sophie Tea Art, Millbank Tower, Princes Arcade, Escape Games London, Camden Locks Canalside, Burberry, The Holy Family Trip, J.H.

Room was exceptionally clean and beds so very comfortable.

Stayed in a family room for a overnight stay.

We were due to check out at 11 am,however after speaking to reception, they allowed us to extend till 14.00, which was a big help, as my friend recovered enough with medication to travel home.

The staff are great, friendly, welcoming and hard working.

The staff were exceptional (even when treated with disrespect we couldn’t help notice how they responded with graciousness).

She was very dismissive, disinterested and unhelpful.

Staff were really helpful and although the hotel is very busy, they were always smiling and friendly.. We love the Holiday Inn brand

Staff were friendly and helpful and we would have no hesitation in staying here again.

3.30pm I popped my head out and the cleaning staff were still in the other room!!

The staff were all very friendly and helpful - there was a last minute ticket change and they happily printed new ones for us.

We wish to thank all the staff for making our stay so pleasurable. Thanks.

Firstly the staff are so polite and welcoming, very professional and a credit to this group of hotels.

The staff at the hotel were amazing and we cannot fault them.

Parking was helpful and we had it our whole visit

Pleasant stay, staff was friendly especially cleo from bar/restaurant.

All the staff were amazing especially the breakfast team.

but that's a personal preference,  Otherwise location was great as only a ten minute walk to ABBA, the room was clean, quiet, tidy, breakfast was included so would quite happily stay there again.

Ideally situated for us to easily walk to the ABBA Voyage concert, minutes away.

For getting in to central London it's a little less than 10 minutes walk to Stratford Underground Station.

Also, not far to walk to the Westfield Shopping Centre, which is in the opposite direction of the Arena.

It is within a 10 minute walk of the train and tube station making it a very pleasant place to stay.

I ended up calling the hotel for directions and found out that the property is around 15 mins walk.

Stayed for one night on business and as soon as I walked in knew I was not in for a great stay sadly.

Stratford station is within a 10 minute walk to the hotel.

When we arrived we took the lift to our floor (third floor) and as we walked out of the lift we were welcome by filled rubbish bags.

The location is around a 10minute walk from the Westfield shopping centre which is where we parked.

Parked at Stratford International multi storey £21.75 for 3 days, about 15 minute walk from hotel,

Great location, a brisk walk away from rail station and shopping mall.

6/7  min walk from transport hub and all the glory of Westfield shopping.

Short walk from Westfields shopping centre which has great restaurants for the evening too.

About a 10 minute walk from Stratford station which has underground and national rail links and is adjacent to Westfield shopping mall.

The hotel is a great place to stay as it is only a short walk away from The Stratford train, bus and tube station so the Great City Of London is very accessible from here in next to no time.

We walked back to the hotel and they very kindly let us stay in the foyer with all our bags for over 3 hours until we got a taxi to catch our coach.

We finally got to our room and opened the curtains to reveal we had a lovely view of a brick wall about a metre from the window.

If it was a hot summer night you'd struggle to have the window open and get sleep.

Only down side would be that the windows don’t open so there’s no ventilation unless you blast the AC

Beds are comfortable 
Triple glazed windows, limited noise at the front of the hotel.

The window in our room looked out over a runway where aircraft were taking off and landing.

The only remaining option was to open the window which helped a bit

but did notice few small dead bugs on window ledge.

but didn't make any difference as there was a draught coming through the gap in the window.

but the bed was small and the handle on the window was broken.

I'm not sure what level of glazing the windows have

Unfortunately during our stay we had some noisy residents shouting outside of our window which kept us up,

Also the vents for the windows can be adjusted to a closed position to reduce external noise.

but not so much that I wanted to turn on the air-con, or open the window to the local traffic noise.

We had to climb over the sofa bed to get to the window.

The shower was an odd configuration being one and the same with the toilet with a wrap around curtain and emergency ropes all over which I trigerred several times in error.

even though all my windows were closed i could still hear the road and being that it's in busy london, all i could hear all night was loud traffic and engines.

We were unable to sleep with the bedroom window open as it was too loud.

Came back at midnight in MAY and the heating was on, we had no nozzle to turn it off and no one at reception.

Although grateful the heating was working it was on full blast and we had to open the window.

There was no heating, so we had to have blankets over our duwets.

We also would have liked a fan as we found the room a bit too hot for our comfort.

I'm 100% sure i was doing exactly what they were telling me to do with the taps except i did it before they turned the hot tap on so natrually there was a weak flow of freezing cold water.

There was what appeared to be coke sprayed up the radiator which during our stay was not wiped off.

Our door rattled constantly and at around 6am either the cleaner or cook was shouting for 3 hours.

No aircon and no fan in room so will be hot during summer.

However NO hot water, NO elevator, NO air conditioning (and it was hot at night and sleeping was almost impossible).

), yes the bathroom is comically small (but hot water with good pressure every day), and yes in the summer it's hot as hell (but good luck finding a hotel in the Under $300 range that has AC).

They provided only one roll of one-ply toilet paper (no spares) for three guests; the ventilation was poor and there were no A/C or portable fans available for us.

The bathroom in our room was freezing cold, so we had to keep the door closed so our romm wouldnt get cold.

The problem is the room heater very hot even when in winter.

In addition to this when you turned on the light this also turned on the extractor fan which reverberated against its casing and was very noisy.

No airconditioning in the room, so we left a window open and there's a lot of car and pedestrian traffic making it quite noisey.

Plus, the noisy fan in the bathroom goes on automatically with the light, so if you have to pee in the night, waking up your partner is inevitable.

The main drawback was the smell in the toilet and a noisy radiator.

It's just a 10/15min walk to Victoria bus station and underground and Buckingham Palace is a minimum 30 min walk away.

Very good location for sightseeing, because you can  start from hotel and walking few minutes and see attractions of London.Good connetions with world -few minutes from hotel is a Victoria main station: train station, undergraund and bus station.Very friendly and kindly employers in hotel.

Location was excellent, walking distance to subway and bus station.

Perfect for those using Victoria bus station and Victoria underground.

it is very near Victoria tube/train  & bus station.

It is cheap, just walking distance to Victoria Station and Victoria Bus Station and traditional english breakfast.

The hole place could do with a face lift it’s so outdated.

No elevator so be ready to bring luggage up stairs.

Breakfast fine too.Only thing to note is there is no lift  so an effort to carry suitcases up to the third floor for us,but we declined a basement room as we wanted access to fresh air.

There's no lift so be prepared to carry your luggage up the stairs.

Lots of stairs and no lift so not suitable if less mobile.

No lift so you need to be able to climb up narrow flights of stairs with your luggage unless you have a ground floor room.

:D 
There isn't an elevator to go to the third floor with the luggage :(

but a very tiny bathroom and no elevator.

Also, there are no lifts, so if you cant walk stairs, ask for a room at least down stairs.

Pity that time we got a room on the 4th floor and no elevator.

but with glass, single glazed street door) - handy as a 'fridge' in winter as there is none in the room, no kettle provided (although there were 2 mugs per room), not able to borrow a kettle from the reception either, no lift and steep staircase so not helpful at all if you have heavy bags.

Rooms we're located up a fair amount of stairs and there was no lift, so would not be suitable for aged or disabled people.

Very old building in London with no modern facilities available (no lift, bathroom is beyond basic, rooms are clean

They don't have a lift and my mother finds stairs a struggle.

Old building NO LIFT, NO HELP to carry your luggage.

All rooms are walk up, there is no elevator.

6 flights of stairs to walk up no lift and the room was to be honest a disappointment.

An elevator would have been nice and the windows didnt do a great job isolating so there was quite alot of noise from the cars.

Also had to walk up three floors to get to our room which would have been hard work for someone with a lot of bags as no lift.

Showers hot and the pressure is fine ( just leave the bathroom door open to get some air in).

Although the rooms have no tea or coffee making facilities there is a drinks machine in the lobby where you can get hot and cold drinks for free.

Staff unresponsive to complaint about no hot water for shaving.Walls wafer thin could hear everything being said or done in adjacent room

but hot and served with toast, tea or coffee.

but only to a moderately warm temperature, with random flashes of both ice-cold and very hot water.

However there was no hot water in the room.

The shower was dirty , outdated and took 10 minutes to actually start producing hot water .

My only problem with this room was that it was terrifically hot!

I couldn't seem to get any hot water out of it.

He said several people had commented on the hot room, well why don't they do something about it !

Considering the excellent location of the hotel in a central location the price is very good.

Apart from the location - 20 mins from Buckingham Palace - everything else apart from the location, is awful!

However, it is clean and quiet, the staff are absolutely lovely and the location is wonderful.

Decent place, friendly staff and great central location, and all of this comes with a low price.

Location 5/5, Bed 5/5, Shower 2/5, Staff 5/5, Breakfast 5/5.

This is a friendly hotel, in an excellent location.

I choose this hotel because of the location and price.

All in all I definitely do not recommend this place as conveniently located as it is to anyone.

The only positive thing about the hotel is its location close to the Victoria station

We appreciated the location, the 24/7 reception, the free water/coffee/tea (because tapwater was “not drinkable”), and the price.
