The hype
Reliable, boring, and clean enough, but the check-in kiosks are often glitchy and the lifts are slow.
Premier Inn London Stratford
$90-160/ notte
Prenota se You're seeing ABBA Voyage, have an early Eurostar train, or plan to spend 80% of your trip inside a shopping mall.
Perché piace così tanto
- Literal steps from Westfield Stratford City and Stratford International station
- Hypnos beds that are consistently more comfortable than they have any right to be
- Soundproofing is surprisingly effective given the location
In sintesi: A sterile but highly functional dormitory for shoppers and concert-goers that trades soul for extreme convenience.
Recensito da @Beliizabeth: I stayed here for a quick London trip and was blown away by the value. The location right next to the station saved me so much travel time. The room was spotless, the mood lighting was a vibe, and having the mall next door for food was a lifesaver. Highly recommend!
Cosa hanno detto gli ospiti che hanno soggiornato qui
Reality check
The air conditioning is frequently described as 'noisy' or 'ineffective,' leaving rooms stuffy since you can't crack a window.
- You prioritize proximity to the Elizabeth Line or Eurostar
- You treat a hotel purely as a place to crash after a concert
- You find comfort in the predictability of a purple-branded chain
Pulizia e manutenzione
6.5
- Housekeeping: Generally efficient, but 'missed spots' and dust on high surfaces are common complaints.
- Bathroom hygiene: Functional but aging. Look for grime around the shower seal and under the soap dispenser.
- Maintenance: Wear and tear is visible. Scuffed walls and tired carpets in the hallways are standard.
- Linens & towels: Usually crisp and white, but inspect them. The bed bug report from 2025 is a major red flag.
- Odors & scents: Can smell stale or stuffy due to the lack of opening windows. Hallways sometimes smell of food from the restaurant.

Prima di prenotare
Buono a sapersi
- Luggage storage is available but often requests a 'donation' to charity (GOSH) rather than a fixed fee.
- The 'Ultimate Wi-Fi' upgrade is necessary if you plan to stream video or take Zoom calls; the free tier is sluggish.
- Breakfast at 'The Social' is standard buffet fare; kids eat free with a paying adult.
Cosa portare
- A portable fan (rooms get stuffy and windows are sealed)
- Earplugs (for the AC hum)
- Your own toiletries (the wall-mounted dispensers are grim)

Genio delle richieste camera – copia e incolla
“I would appreciate a room on a high floor facing the Olympic Park, away from the elevators. If possible, a room where the AC has been recently serviced would be ideal.”
FAQ e consigli nascosti
Tutto ciò che vuoi davvero sapere prima di prenotare.
Is there parking at the hotel?
No. You must park at Westfield Stratford City Car Park A, B, or C. It costs around £25 for 24 hours and is a 5-10 minute walk.
Do the windows open?
Mostly no. This is a 'sealed unit' hotel for soundproofing/efficiency, which leads to frequent complaints about stuffiness.
Is it safe at night?
Generally yes, as it's inside the Westfield complex which has security. However, the walk to Stratford Regional station late at night can feel a bit desolate.
How close is the ABBA Voyage arena?
Very close. It's a short DLR ride from Stratford International to Pudding Mill Lane, or a 20-minute walk.
Can I leave my bags before check-in?
Yes, there is a luggage room. They often ask for a small cash donation to Great Ormond Street Hospital instead of a fixed fee.
Is breakfast included?
Not in the base rate. It costs ~£10.99-£12.99 per person unless you book a 'Meal Deal' package.
Suggerimenti degli Insider
- ✨
Use the shortcut through the Westfield ground floor (near Waitrose) to get between Stratford International and Stratford Regional stations quickly.
- ✨
Don't pay for the hotel breakfast every day; there's a Pret and a Starbucks literally seconds away in the mall.
- ✨
If the check-in kiosks are broken (often), go straight to the bar staff; they can sometimes help faster than the lone receptionist.
5 cose da sapere prima di partire
💡The 'floating bedroom' soundproofing marketing is from 2011; the reality is you will hear your neighbor's TV.
💡The walk from the car park to the lobby is surprisingly long and confusing—take a photo of where you parked.
💡Uber drivers often get lost finding the entrance; set your pickup location to 'Stratford International Station' instead of the hotel door.
💡The 'family rooms' often just have a sofa bed that is significantly less comfortable than the main Hypnos bed.
💡You are technically in a mall, which means mall hours dictate which doors are open late at night.
