Convenient Stay Near Abba Arena

convenient location friendly staff tube access free breakfast

The location is GREAT, just a short walk to the Abba Arena. The room was tidy. The staff was both helpful and friendly. I appreciated the convenient DLR and tube access nearby. The breakfast included was also good, a nice bonus.

The room did NOT have a mini fridge, and this was inconvenient for storing some personal items .

mixed feelings about my stay

dirty room bland breakfast

the staff was friendly and tried to be helpful when i asked for assistance.

The room was not clean, and i found hairs in the bathroom and on the bedding, a huge disappointment!!! also, the breakfast selection was very limited, with only a few options available, and everything tasted bland. it was really frustrating to start the day with such a poor meal. I expected more from a hotel of this supposed rating.

Really good Stay

quiet room comfortable bed well stocked buffet

The room was super clean, it featured a big shower with proper pressure. I received a room on the top floor away from the main road per my request. The bed had a good choice of pillows and I found it comfortable. Breakfast was included, it was a buffet that was well stocked and easy to access.
