Friendly, warm, clean and comfortable. Cheap and great location for access to ABBA voyage and Westfield Shopping Centre, UCL and West Ham stadium
Bathroom door needs attention as does bedside lamp which was significantly ripped. Beds were really clean and comfortable. Road noise was manageable. Excellent location for abba arena only 10 min walk. Mcdonalds nearby for breakfast and local shop with costa coffee machine as well as anything you may have forgotten. Verylong walk from stratford station advise bus or uber to hotel

For one night it did it's job. The beds we're clean but the room condition was very tired and needed some decorating in the bathroom. The kitchen needed a major clean as utensils and cupboards we're gr
The gentleman named Hussain at the reception was outstandingly kind and generous making sure we were at ease and comfortable. He was the one who made our stay the best.
Good location, walking distance to railway public transit. The groceries store next door was a "nice to have".
Conditions were ok, the room & bath pretty minuscule but that is expected for the cheap accommodations in Europe. The breakfast area is ok, a fully functional kitchen with self-service. Not a lot of options in the "menu" but it did its job well.

With easy reach to the tube and within easy reach of the ABBA arena
What a find! We booked this hotel because of its proximity to ABBA Voyage & we couldn’t have picked a better spot. The hotel is a walkable distance from the venue but the weather was terrible the night we were booked so we caught public transport instead. The Bow Church station is across the road from the hotel & is one stop away from ABBA. The hotel itself was a little old but spotlessly clean & well maintained. The staff were so friendly & helpful. The breakfast was great, especially as it was included in the price. The Bow Road tube station is a short walk away & made getting into central London very easy. We’ll definitely stay here again the next time we’re in London.
