Excellent Stay Near Everything!

friendly staffspacious roomhandy parkingdark room
The staff was friendly and helpful. My room was clean and spacious. On-site parking was handy, though the price was a bit steep. The location was perfect. I was able to darken the room well for sleeping in.
The shower door didn't quite close properly. This was a minor issue, though.

Excellent Stay Near Abba Arena

stratford stationbreakfast foodworking air conditioningmissing drawers
I found the staff to be very lovely. The hotel location is very near the Stratford station. The breakfast food was lovely. The premises were super clean. The bed was massive and the air conditioning worked.
I found there were no drawers at all, only five coat hangers. There was nowhere to put clothes, and it was disappointing. I stayed here to do the ABBA Voyage.

The location is near Abba Arena and the Stratfrod Westfield shopping center is also a short walk away. The hotel is near the subway station and from there it is easy to get to the airport or attractions around the city.

The location was quite convenient for the Abba Arena. It was an easy walk. The breakfast offered a good selection and the food was of good quality.
The room I booked had two single beds. Space was limited. The secure car park was small, though the price per night was £20.
