Brilliant stay

My adult daughter and I were in London for ABBA Voyage. We chose this hotel because it was fairly close to ABBA Arena and I’m so glad we did. The staff were lovely and very welcoming. Couldn’t fault anything about this hotel.

Abba weekend

Nice hotel, lovely staff, comfy bed clean bathroom, room a little small but great location for Abba arena and Westfield shopping. My only niggle - no bottle of water left in room (nearly every hotel I’ve stayed in provides a bottle of water) and a disposable shower cap would be a great improvement bit in all a. Ice place to stay.

Lovely polite reception and we noticed how obviously clean the hotel was as soon as we walked in. The bed and pillows were so comfortable that we both slept amazingly well. We usually do for a different hotel but will definitely book a holiday inn again.
