Great place to stay if you want to stay in East London
Pros:

The breakfast was always well stocked, and it was very nice that it was included with my stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Stratford. The reception was great, and they were very attentive. Also, the food for room service was quite good and not overly expensive.

Cons:

The only thing that I was a bit unsure about was when I had housekeeping clean my room. They made my bed, but the towel I had on the floor so they could replace it, it seemed they just hung it back up.

Good hotel
Pros:

The beds were comfortable and we had a quiet room.The location was good because we could get easy metro and buses.

Cons:

The room has no wardrobe.Since we spend 6 days in the same hotel, it was complicated.The breakfast was ok but no variation at all.

Pros:

The Location was close to the mall. They allowed us to checkin early

Cons:

No fridge inside hotel rooms. No bottled water one had to buy or drink tap water . When staff cleaned they would not refill items inside the room. They just did the bed and leave everything else the same.
