"Hotel in the heart of Stratford "

Fantastic location for anyone attending Abba Voyage, West Ham (Olympic) Stadium. Hotel staff all extremely welcoming and helpful. Hotel room and facilities excellent. Our breakfast was included but would be well worth the £12 charge if it hadn`t.

"Great location for Abba voyage"

Situated 15 min from train station and 15 minutes to the Abba voyage arena makes this a great place to stay for the show. The rooms are pleasant and are well equipped and clean. The service at the hotel was very good. The breakfast was fresh and tasty, plenty of options. The breakfast area was very busy but we did eat at the peak time and there wer plenty of signs to say when the busy times were if you wanted to avoid these. The food in the evening was also very nice.

Location was brilliant as we had come for a birthday surprise, for my granddaughter to see ABBA Voyage. The venue was just a 10mins walk from the hotel. Hotel staff were very polite, professional and helpful. The hotel was very clean and the breakfast was plentiful, I thought it was excellent for the money paid and wouldn`t hesitate to recommend to stay here9786;65039; L&A xx

"Great Hotel for an ABBA Break"

"ABBA Voyage show was marvellous. Disappointed withhe available catering. "

Abba Voyage was tremendous. Well worth our trip to London to see the show. However. The website told us that the Abba Arena would open 1hr 45 mins before the show and that we could avail ourselves of the ?great variety of food & drink? options. It was a freezing cold and wet day so we thought we`d head down about 6pm and perhaps relax in one of the lounges. In practice, the only lounge was required an upgrade for the Oceanbird Loungewhich we hadn`t purchased. The available food and drink for everyone else was in an outer area. Although it had a roof so we didn`t get rained on, the cold wind blew through. Everybody was in wet clothes and there was very little seating available for the volume of attendees. Many people were standing about shivering. The food and drink was being sold from stalls which weren`t as good as an average street market. We were glad to get into the arena proper. In saying that, the show was wonderful.

"Great value and service."

I stayed here with my two daughters and felt very well looked after. Staff very helpful and rooms clean and had everything you need And if you forget anything basic (toothbrush) they have extras at reception which are complimentary. Went the extra mile. Location great near tube and Westfield shopping centre. Would stay again
