Excellent stay

Wonderful stay for 2 nights at the holiday inn as we were visiting the Abba arena The staff are very welcoming and the hotel is very comfortable and modern. Inclusive breakfast was lovely and the limited menu for the day/evening was very tatsy and well cooked.. Only 2 little moans..the draught lager didn't seem to have much life in it and the car park was very tiny so had to park at the old buzz bingo.. Would definitely return in the future..

A very enjoyable stay. Fantastic staff.

I really enjoyed my stay. My room was cleaned and tidied every day. The meals were reasonably priced; I ate there every evening. Special deal for early diners. Bar open from lunch time until 1.00am. Only a quiet ten minute walk to Stratford tube station using the Gibbins Road entrance. Used currently for people going to the ABBA Voyage concert. Easy to walk there from the hotel. Will definitely go back again.

Staff were super friendly and helpful, hotel clean, great location for ABBA VOYAGE short walk, Stratford TS just minutes away from hotel and 18mins to Waterloo. If any suggestions, bar staff very slow took 3 staff to pour 2 drinks everytime! One took order and 2 to decide on which bottles to use! Also air con would not go any lower than 23 degrees.

Great value for abba voyage

The hotel is great and a fabulous location for the abba voyage show. Breakfast was good albeit a bit chaotic but nothing to complain about it’s just a busy hotel
