Hotels near Abbotts Park, Waltham Forest

Wonderful hotel with excellent location. The room was clean, very comfortable and had great view of the London Stadium. The location was amazing, next to a huge Stratford Shopping Centre and to the subway station with many subway lines. The staff was friendly, professional and very helpful. KUDO to the Concierge Staff, especially NALEEF, DANIEL, AND ONE OTHER GENTLEMAN (sorry! i forgot his name). My wife got pickpocketed in London. The Concierge staff, especially Naleef, went above and beyond their duty to help us to deal with our distress moments. He advised us to report the theft to the London Police, and also the Concierge staff helped us tremendously to deal with our stolen credit cards. We really appreciated what these amazing staff did for us. Thanks so much to Naleef, Daniel and to all the Concierge staff for making us feel so welcome and for all your unforgettable help during our stay. The world needs more of these people like your Concierge staff. Hyatt should be very proud to have these amazing Concierge staff. We certainly will return to this Hyatt hotel in the future and would highly recommend this Hyatt hotel to anyone!

We stayed at Ibis Budget Barking on one of the hottest nights of the year. The air-conditioning worked brilliantly, so we had a much better night than friends who stayed at a much more expensive hotel in central London! We were attending an event at The University of East London SportsDock. It was very easy to get to - just a short walk to the bus stop by Tesco, a 19-minute bus journey which took us very close to the venue - so Ibis Budget Barking is ideal for anyone wanting to go to something in East London. The front of house staff were very courteous and helpful. I have rated this 4 rather than 5 as a kettle ought to be a standard offering in all rooms (in Ibis Budget Portsmouth we had a kettle). But, all in all, an excellent budget location.

Loved it! Highly recommend. Super easy to get into town on DLR, and amazing breakfast. Lovely to watch swimmers go past. Staff really lovely and very helpful. Am booking to go again. Rooms not vast, but not too small and absolutely fine (shared a twin room with a pal).

Excellent stay! Appreciated the complimentary room upgrade. Very nice touch. Great location from Algate East. Perfect for an overnight stay. Breakfast was delicious

Overall the hotel is perfect. The bedroom is new and large enough that it can house our 3 pieces of 28” luggage. Decoration is decent. The toilet is large and the basin is large in size. Amenities are good enough and the bed is soft and get good support so that we got a good sleep. The location is just opposite to the Westfield Stratford Shopping Center which is large enough to shop everything. Also the shopping center links to the Startford Station where we can take Tube (Jubilee / Central) or Elizabeth Line to any hotspots in London. We believe we will stay here next time.

The room is smaller than it looks in the photo. The window in the quadruple room I booked is very small and can only be opened a little because all corridors have fire doors. So the room ventilation is very poor. It would be a disaster if you encounter a tenant who is not very hygienic. There is a queue when the bathroom is busy, and the water in some bathrooms is not hot enough. After staying there for two days, I started to get familiar with it. All the staff are relatively friendly, and there is a lot of customer traffic, with many families and student groups checking in. There is a supermarket next to it where you can buy coffee and food. It is also convenient to take public transportation to various attractions. Facilities: It's pretty good, but some guests don't take good care of it and the bathroom is often dirty. Especially the public bathroom in the lobby on the first floor. Environment: The sound of walking on the floor and the sound of doors opening and closing is noisy, but it is within the tolerance range. Facilities: The wifi and terrace are very good, so you can sunbathe and surf the Internet in summer. The indoor lobby guest seating area is large and comfortable.

Lovely overnight getaway. Fantastic room - Executive Lounge Room 614 - with a great view of Crossrail. Only downside on that was that you heard the DLR starting at about 7am on the Sunday morning. The receptionist, Sandra, was really friendly and helpful and staffing the bar in the evening were likewise very good. The executive lounge on the 7th floor had a good selection of soft drinks, but we weren’t around to try the hot appetisers or free wine & beer in the evening as we already had dinner plans in the West End. Transportation wise, it’s a 2 min walk to the DLR, less then 5 to the new Elizabeth Line and only a few more to the Jubilee Line - perfectly positioned! Lots of restaurants and bars to choose from as well. Breakfast was fantastic, particularly loved the donut wall! Quite a novelty! The cooked breakfast was delicious, with omelettes made to order - more food than you could handle! Will definitely look to stay again in the future.

I stay around the Excel several times a year for events with friends or alone. I've stayed at other hotels nearby like the Crowne Plaza, Novotel, Ibis etc. but this was my first time staying at Aloft. The room is adequately sized and was quite clean. The bed linen was clean, and the carpets seemed clean as well. There were a couple of small issues with cleanliness but nothing overly off-putting. The shower needs to be re-grouted and walls need to be repainted/new wallpaper applied in some areas that had a lot of marks. The layout of the room is a little weird. The wardrobe and tea and coffee tray are at the side where the bathroom is. There's no mirror in the bedroom area, so if you want to do your hair you have to plug into the section where the kettle tray is placed and stretch the wire across. It's not a big deal, but a little inconvenient. The fixtures in the room were decent and the bed was comfy. The location is next to Prince Regent DLR, so easy to get to and from the train. The room would benefit from some sort of information booklet about the facilities at the hotel. There wasn't any information given about what was available at the hotel or any opening times of the facilities, where they were located or what you needed to do to access them. It's a hassle for guests to have to ask the front desk about this, so the information should be readily available in the room. When I checked in there was a leak in the room that I was given. I'd just come from a 15 hour journey and wanted to take a shower and relax, so this was not ideal. I told reception and they said they would send someone to take a look to see if it could be fixed. I didn't exactly see why I should sit and wait because there was a leak in the room and believe that they should have moved me immediately. They sent someone up and they took a quick look and determined it would take too long to fix and would move me to a different room. I was moved to the room next door and for the following 45 minutes all I could hear was the door slamming in the other room, I assume from them coming in and out to try and fix the issue there. It took around 30 minutes of me being in this room for me to be moved, which was really not ideal. I was offered a short apology, but no compensation for the inconvenience. The main issue I had with this hotel was the noise from other rooms and guests. On the same night that I checked in, the guests in the room next to me appeared to be having some sort of party until after 5am. They were playing music, shouting, banging things on the wall and constantly walking in and out of the room causing the door to slam loudly each time. I understand this is not particularly the fault of the hotel, at this point I was too exhausted from my trip to reach out to the hotel with another complaint. I was happy that on the 2nd night, these guests must have checked out. However, the noise from other guests was still a bit of an issue, although no one was particularly try

As I was working at a convention at Excel this weekend this hotel is certainly perfectly situated within a 3 min walk. I arrived Friday evening and was met with a completely soulless and uninspired welcome. The room (I was on the 9th floor) was spacious and certainly clean on arrival. I've stayed in several Novotel's recently, but the design here again is lacking in any individuality and feels very oppressive. A large bathroom, lighting was adequate, and for some odd reason the designer felt there was a priority for an electric opaque panel that could allow your guest to watch you shower if they wanted?! Thankfully I was alone, i wouldn't have wanted to share as every time the bathroom is in use the entire room lights up as the light bleeds through the floor to ceiling panel. The bathroom seemed lacking in any toiletries, and had nothing in the shower cubicle so I had to use the hand soap (I normally pack my own but other experiences in this chain gave sufficient toiletry options). In the morning I discovered the drain was blocked and so I partially flooded the bathroom as I hadn't fully noticed, it took nearly 10 minutes for the water to eventually run away. A call to reception got this fixed for my return that evening. Frustratingly as a tea drinker I am always baffled as to how coffee drinkers get so many options, but I only get 2 satchets of breakfast tea. Prob in 7/10 hotels I now stay in housekeeping always fail to acknowledge that I have only drunk tea and don't bother to replenish, something I only discovered as I woke up at 5am. Is it really that hard when they have replaced the milk? My room was warm upon arrival, so I dialled the control off. I woke several times in the morning due to the heat, opening the window made little difference as there is no air flow and just the sound of outside units whirring. I turned the control off but it made no difference and after a weekend its stifling, not helped when housekeeping leave the mirror light on which generates yet more heat. The bar was a miserable experience, the staff are completely unwelcoming, barely speak to you, don't listen to your order and seem unable to even acknowledge you. 2 friends came to meet me on Saturday night and had the same experience so we opted to go to another hotel bar for drinks and food instead. On arrival I had asked for the wine list/bar menu, but was told what I was given was completely outdated and incorrect...so why is it not replaced? Breakfast was OK, again just lacking in any form of customer engagement. All in all it was a functional space with a comfy bed but in this area it comes at a premium. It's a spacious hotel that just lacks any warmth, either in the decor OR in the customer interaction from the staff. I stay in several of the other chain's hotels up and down the country so was a little surprised by this experience, I won't be staying here again on my next visit to Excel.

Absolutely perfect stay. Easy to book and check in. Perfect location if you are travelling into the city! Staff were super friendly and helpful! When I travel for business now I will always use this hotel
