The service was exceptional especially Mitu who looked after me so well. Rooms were tidy and clean. Location was great, only 10 minutes to the Olympic stadium and ABBA voyage but I did not feel safe walking around on my own, the area around the hotel was a bit derelict.

A decent choice for the area

The Holiday Inn was fine. Appreciated the breakfast and having a kettle etc in the room. My only complaint would be the parking charge - £20 a day to use their own car park seemed a bit excessive. Most people coming out here will have cars. I think that should be made clear. Check in was laborious but otherwise, nice staff. Great location for the Aquatics Centre

My boys were so happy when we arrived to see balloons, chocolate and a card was left in our room. I had mentioned it was there bday, that was reason for staying in London and they went above and beyond. Lady on the desk was so lovely and helpful. Taking our bags in as we arrived earlier than check in. Assured me they were safe. Breakfast was so good. Lots of choice and staff on hand to help when needed. I was travelling alone with my 2 son 10yr olds. And was nervous but this hotel and staff made me feel so much at ease. Thank you all so much. Myself and my boys loved it here.

Lovely room, don't bank on getting breakfast

Very clean, nice room with lovely large powerful shower and Dove products provided. Great blackout curtains and really quiet room. Our big gripe was that we had booked this hotel over others because it offered included breakfast. We could not get in to have said breakfast as there was such a long wait that we had to give up - there was clearly not the sufficient room to accommodate six floors of rooms.

This hotel was ideal for our family trip to London. Easy walking distance from the train station and so very convenient access to central London. Amazing shopping centre just 5 minute walk away. Hotel rooms clean and hotel very quiet meaning we got an excellent night sleep. Self service breakfast was included in our stay and was delicious. We particularly loved the pancake making machine. Would absolutely recommend for families visiting London. We will definitely be back
