I didn't ask for a disabled room and i slip twice because the wet floor in the wet room. Didn't appreciated the airplanes noise and the pillows could have been better. Small double bed and a winter quilt in the summer not needed. The matress was comfortable. The tram near by was very good.

We liked everything about this Holiday Inn, there is nothing that we didn't like. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and we particularly liked the fact that you can book an Uber in the hotel lobby area and it was there in less than 15 minutes. Our room was spotlessly clean and the beds very comfortable. We were attending the All Points East festival at Victoria Park and the hotel is quite a few miles away from the park but the Ubers are fantastic, so it wasn't a big deal to get across London.

The hotel is clean with friendly and warm staff. It's conveniently located near public transportation, and quiet due to its distance from major tourist activities. They could offer a more varied breakfast menu.
