Holiday Inn Express London Stratford, an IHG Hotel

Clean & comfortable bedroom, good quality bedding & towels. Good water pressure in shower and plenty of hot water. More than adequate breakfast with plenty of choice nothing seemed to be cooked to order but might have been able to ask for fried/poached eggs but we didn’t. Not huge choice for continental breakfast but they did have a pancake machine which we tried and enjoyed the pancakes. We used the parking available at £20 per day. It’s a very small carpark with some tight spaces and allocated on first come first serve basis. Not sure where other carparks were but we were happy to pay for convenience of car being inside secure space so close to hotel. We booked this hotel due to its close proximity to the ABBA stadium. It’s about a 10min stroll to the stadium. The hotel had lots of guests also attending ABBA. Less than 10 mins in the opposite direction are a few bars & restaurants on Stratford High Street. The hotel is close to Westfield Shopping Centre and train station for easy access to central London. We felt very safe wandering around after dark (coming back from ABBA concert & returning from day/evening out in London).

Staff were great, bed was huge and comfortable, the bathroom was the only thing that let it down. It was very dated and I felt like I needed to get bleach out to clean the disabled shower seat. Breakfast was good although there clearly isn't enough seating for the volume of guests, we ended up walking around the tables for ages trying to find somewhere to sit.

We used this hotel to attend the ABBA Voyage show .It was everything we expected -and more ! Great location , [20 minutes walk to the venue ] ,very helpful staff ,very pleased with our rooms which were better than we expected for a three star hotel ,excellent breakfast included in the price, [ but there were queues after about 9am]. The hotel helped us enjoy a couple of days in London . Thank you .

What I really liked about the hotel was the incredibly friendly and helpful staff—they were always smiling and made us feel very welcome. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed, including tea, coffee, a hairdryer, iron, safe, and TV. The bed was huge and super comfortable, and the heating worked perfectly. Despite our room facing the main road, it was quiet, and we had no trouble sleeping thanks to the great soundproofing and blackout curtains.
