MOXY London Stratford

MOXY London Stratford

10/10 Excellent
"A fun, modern hotel in an excellent location. A few minutes walk from the tube, buses, and large shopping centre with all the shops and restaurants you could want. Rooms are very clean and well maintained, along with the rest of the hotel. Beds were comfy and showers were great. Loved the 24 hour accessible ironing room with large sturdy ironing board and powerful steam generator iron. Great choice of continental and English breakfast items available. Also offer a great bar with lots of cocktails and a good food menu but we didn’t get to try it this visit. All staff we interacted with were very friendly and we saw one staff member offer assistance to a disabled lady to help her select and carry her breakfast. Our second time staying here and we will definitely be back!"

10/10 Excellent
"I’d like to start by saying - that was the nicest check in experience I think I’ve ever had , and I travel a fair bit. Was greeted at check in by the reservations manager (I’m really sorry to say I’ve misplaced the business card he gave me at check in incase there were any problems , I’d love to name him in person and would love him to have this feedback passed on / I checked in at around 2pm on the 6th of August ) What a friendly , professional welcome. This man is an absolute ASSET to the hotel and should be recognised for making such an impression. I was travelling with my son who has autism - and without making a fuss - this member of staff let it be known that anything we needed we were to ask. He showed such kindness and really read the situation perfectly. Beyond that , ALL staff were smiling and happy to help every time there was any interaction. This really seemed like an amazingly well managed hotel with lovely staff - really makes a difference. Room was spotless and well equipped and the outside area at night felt super safe with security on duty. Car parking was so convenient. I can’t recommend this place enough and will use every time I come to London now - even if I’m over the other side of town. 5 stars. P.S. Breakfast manager was lovely too this morning - hats off to her too."

"Room was clean, but a little tired being honest. Love the Ibis pod bathroom design. Bed and pillows I found extremely comfortable and had the best nights sleep I’d had in ages! Check in woman was very friendly and efficient. Worst thing was poor quality sausages in the breakfast selection - always a pet hate of mine. Apart from that all good 👍 "

"I checked in online to make it easier and more streamlined but when I got there I had to do it again. What was the point? The hotel is great, looks the part but there is no aircon, the bed was too soft (if your sharing a bed, if your partner moves, you move), pillows were very thin. I think some minor things need to be done to make it a 5/5 but it was clean, staff friendly. Used to pool, clean with some beautiful views."
