Park Plaza London Riverbank

Park Plaza London Riverbank

4/10 Poor
"Whilst very very noisy neighbours from 11pm until 2am is not the fault of the hotel staff, but rather the ignorance of the neighbours themselves, I would have preferred security to have been more intent with their actions when asking them to keep the house down, especially after multiple calls to reception due to them becoming excessively noisy every time the security left the floor. No room to do weights in the gym, and the chest press machine was wedged"

Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Waltham Abbey cost?
Budget hotel prices in Waltham Abbey vary, but you can find a great deal from £75 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Which area of Waltham Abbey is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For travellers seeking cheap hotels in Waltham Abbey, the town centre and areas immediately surrounding it generally offer the best value and convenience. These central locations provide easy access to local amenities and transportation links without incurring higher prices often found in more secluded, rural accommodations.

Solo travellers will find that staying in the town centre allows for easy exploration of Waltham Abbey's historical sites, such as the Abbey Church and Gardens, which are free to visit. There are a few independent hotels and guesthouses here that provide a more personal touch and often more competitive rates than larger chain hotels.

Couples looking for affordable options might consider areas just on the outskirts of the main town, particularly those with good bus connections into the centre. These spots can sometimes offer slightly larger rooms or more parking options at a similar price point. Proximity to Epping Forest, for example, allows for free outdoor activities like walking and cycling, adding value to your stay.
When is the most affordable time to visit Waltham Abbey?
The most affordable time to visit Waltham Abbey is typically during the off-peak seasons, specifically late autumn, winter, and early spring, avoiding school holidays and the height of summer. During these months, from November to March (excluding the Christmas and New Year period), you'll generally find lower prices on accommodation and potentially cheaper transport options.

For solo travellers, visiting during these quieter times means fewer crowds at popular attractions like Waltham Abbey Church and the Epping Forest, allowing for a more relaxed and reflective experience. Many local pubs and cafes might also have special offers or less busy periods, making it easier to enjoy a traditional meal without the rush.

While some outdoor activities might be weather-dependent, the historical sites and charming town centre remain accessible and enjoyable.
Is Waltham Abbey a budget-friendly destination?
Yes, Waltham Abbey is a budget-friendly destination, particularly appealing for solo travellers and couples looking for historical charm and natural beauty without a hefty price tag.

Accommodation options in Waltham Abbey are generally more affordable than in central London, with guesthouses and smaller hotels offering good value. The town itself is quite walkable, and for exploring further afield, local bus services provide inexpensive connections to nearby areas.

Many of Waltham Abbey's attractions are free or low-cost. Solo travellers can enjoy exploring the historic Waltham Abbey Church, a significant site with a rich past, and wandering through the tranquil Abbey Gardens. Epping Forest, bordering the town, offers extensive free opportunities for walking, cycling, and enjoying nature. Couples can also enjoy romantic strolls along the River Lea or pack a picnic to enjoy in the scenic Lee Valley Regional Park.

Dining in Waltham Abbey also tends to be more economical than in larger cities, with a selection of independent cafes and pubs offering reasonably priced meals and snacks.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, Lee Valley Regional Park, which surrounds the town, provides extensive opportunities for walking and cycling along its numerous paths and waterways. You can explore different sections of the park, such as the tranquil Cornmill Meadows, known for its dragonflies, or enjoy a peaceful stroll by the River Lea.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Waltham Abbey as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately.
