"Perfect location for ABBA Voyage and perfect breakfast"

A very good hotel which I would be happy to return to. Easy access to London underground trains at Stratford. Just a one trip journey on Elizabeth line from paddington. Great room and comfy bed. The free breakfast is excellent and one of the best I`ve had. 5 minute walk to the ABBA Voyage stadium.

"Great hotel, ideally situated for abba and transport hub"

Holiday Inn Express is a really well situated hotel, 10 minutes walk from Stratford station and 10 minutes walk from ABBA Voyage venue. Rooms are adequate for short stays and breakfast is really good. Staff are very friendly. We ate dinner one night and was really good. Would highly recommend and definitely return.

"Convenient, comfortable."

The hotel was very comfortable. We had everything we needed. The breakfast was great - lots of choice (hot & cold). One hiccup - when we arrived they told us that they did not have a twin room available but could give us a Double room. This was not acceptable (not travelling with partner) and they eventually offered us a family room which was great. They were very apologetic and helpful and the gentleman on Reception went out of his way to ensure that we were happy. They gave us a complimentary drink from the bar as well! We didn`t have a main meal there but the menu looked good. Very easy to get to the hotel from Stratford station and only a short walk to the Abba Arena. Wonderful experience.
