Basic accommodation close to Bow Church Station on the DLR. Convenience store just beside the hotel. Room was basic but clean. Loved the cook your own breakfast in the kitchen which was the first for me. Coffee, tee, bread, jam, cereals, eggs plus fresh fruit. Really all you need for a start of the day.
Perfect basic overnight stay. The beds were comfortable and the en-suite and shower were good. Easy walk to DLR station and also underground station. Bus 108 to O2 arena was very convenient and would definitely stay again if visiting O2

Friendly, warm, clean and comfortable. Cheap and great location for access to ABBA voyage and Westfield Shopping Centre, UCL and West Ham stadium
Great handy location. Room really small. But was only there to sleep. Old building walls thin. But was no problem when I was there. Just heard footsteps occasionally. Great kitchen to make own breakfast. Toast butter jam cereal eggs coffee tea biscuits crisps fruit. Could store and cook own food if wanted. Bed sheets super clean and really comfortable bed. Traffic was no problem. Felt safe and definitely stay again
The room was bigger than I expected, and very clean. The bathroom was small, and could have been cleaner. Traces of mold in the shower. Staff was very friendly, and you can make your own breakfast from a decent sample of ingrediences.
Bow Road is not the most exciting area in London, but there are a couple of pubs, a very nice coffee bar, and a beautiful church (Bow Church) with nice and welcoming people when you attend their service.

Bathroom door needs attention as does bedside lamp which was significantly ripped. Beds were really clean and comfortable. Road noise was manageable. Excellent location for abba arena only 10 min walk. Mcdonalds nearby for breakfast and local shop with costa coffee machine as well as anything you may have forgotten. Verylong walk from stratford station advise bus or uber to hotel
The gentleman named Hussain at the reception was outstandingly kind and generous making sure we were at ease and comfortable. He was the one who made our stay the best.
Noise from outside but overall it was a wonderful stay and staff very helpful with great customer support.

Good location, walking distance to railway public transit. The groceries store next door was a "nice to have".
Conditions were ok, the room & bath pretty minuscule but that is expected for the cheap accommodations in Europe. The breakfast area is ok, a fully functional kitchen with self-service. Not a lot of options in the "menu" but it did its job well.

What a find! We booked this hotel because of its proximity to ABBA Voyage & we couldn’t have picked a better spot. The hotel is a walkable distance from the venue but the weather was terrible the night we were booked so we caught public transport instead. The Bow Church station is across the road from the hotel & is one stop away from ABBA. The hotel itself was a little old but spotlessly clean & well maintained. The staff were so friendly & helpful. The breakfast was great, especially as it was included in the price. The Bow Road tube station is a short walk away & made getting into central London very easy. We’ll definitely stay here again the next time we’re in London.

Solo concert trip
Budget hotel,good value, run down but room clean shower ok bed comfortable and had a opening window, felt safe area,lobby staff polite and pleasant, easy walking distance to London stadium so ideal for my needs.
Bed and breakfast, we were shown the kitchen and told us to do our own. Could use bread, margarine, jam, biscuits or 2 type of cereals. All cheapest of the cheap. Dont use anything else as people live here and wash up after yourself! It was filthy. Cupboards all peeling. Bedroom had ceiling lights consisting of a bare lightbulb dangling in one and nothing in the other. Window was painted out. 2 draw unit, which when opened draw front came off in hand. Tea and coffee making facilities were go in the kitchen and make yourself one. We were frightened to look to deeply. Couldnt change hotel as everywhere fully booked due to multiple events being on. Postives were clean towels and bedding and we didnt get bitten by anything lurking. Staff were friendly enough. We are 2 60 year od woman, have stayed in all sorts of accomodation, but never experienced anything so bad, never, ever would go there again.
