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.

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.
We booked the hotel as it was 10 minutes walk from the Abba Arena.
Room was clean and comfortable but it was a bit of a struggle carrying suitcases (we had big cases as this was the start of a long trip) up the stairs. The host did with the cases which eas nice of him.
Rooms are a bit basic but clean and comfortable.
Breakfast was basic but good for a budget hotel.
Ideal location for Abba Voyage with Bow Road station being less than 10 minutes and Bow Church station accross the road.

Ideal location for where we wanted to go.
Close to tubes stations & convenience stores. Plain & simple but did the job.
Staff were friendly.
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.
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.
It was about 3-5 mins walk from the nearest tube. My room was clean when I arrived, I wasnt expecting that they offer a self-service breakfast, that was a plus.

It was great to have access to the kitchen where we had the supplies for breakfast to hand. Friendly and helpful people on reception.
Cleanliness could be much better eg: the stairwell needed a vacuum; kitchen surfaces, cooker nobs, handles, bathroom tiles seemed sticky and needing a clean.
But overall our stay was good, towels, bedding and bedroom clean. Thanks for having us.
I was expecting a better room. The overall condition of the property is terrible. I had a room facing the road. There was no fan in the room and of you left the window open, you could not sleep the entire night. Shred kitchen was very useful and it was well stoked. Receptionist were very helpful.
