MOXY LONDON STRATFORD, London

The hotel sits directly opposite Stratford station, connecting to the underground (Central, Jubilee and Elizabeth lines), National Rail and DLR. London City Airport is 6 km away, reachable in about 30 minutes by cab. Numerous restaurants are within a short walk, and the vast Westfield shopping centre is only 5 minutes away. The Olympic Stadium, London Stadium, ABBA Arena and ExCeL are all easily walkable or a short train ride. The immediate area is well served by transport but is also active around the shopping centre, which may be noticeable from rooms facing the front. The Stratford Centre car park is right in front of the hotel for those arriving by car, though no on-site parking is available.

Rooms are available as double, twin, family (with sofa bed) or spacious double options. Each has a private bathroom with a shower and hairdryer, plus a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, air conditioning, soundproofing, tea and coffee making facilities and a private entrance. Rooms on the lower floors facing the train tracks can be very noisy, and the building's timber-frame construction means sound can travel between rooms. Noise from passing trains, trams and the shopping centre loading area is a recurring consideration. Some rooms have a balcony. There are no in-room safes, fridges, wardrobes, phones or mini-bars. Storage is limited to four hangers and a bedside shelf, so living out of a suitcase is the norm. Window views vary; some face an internal courtyard, which can be dark. Rooms facing the reception/bar area on the first floor may pick up music noise from the bar.

Breakfast is a continental and buffet-style offering with hot items, cereals, pastries, juices and fruit. It includes options suitable for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and other diets. The cost is £10 when pre-booked, or £12.50 on the day. The bar serves drinks, wine, champagne, snacks, pizzas late into the evening, and a coffee house operates on site. Evening food is available from the bar, with options such as pizza. During breakfast, the dining area can become busy, and tables may be limited. A welcome drink is provided on arrival at the bar, which stays open late and offers a lively atmosphere. For those who prefer a wider choice, the Westfield shopping centre a short walk away contains dozens of restaurants and takeaway options.

The hotel has no pool, spa or gym. Leisure activities include a pool table (pay to play), a free foosball table, board games, and a shared lounge/TV area. Evening entertainment is offered at no extra cost. The atmosphere in the bar area is lively and social, designed around a modern, colourful aesthetic. For families, board games and puzzles are available. The public areas include a small shop for snacks and essentials.

The hotel operates a 24-hour front desk. Check-in is from 15:00 and can be done at any time of day. Luggage can be stored at reception before check-in and after check-out at no charge. Bicycle storage is also available. Free Wi-Fi is provided throughout the property. Daily housekeeping is included, and towels are changed daily. An ironing room is available on each floor. Fax/photocopying is offered at an additional charge. There are lockers for luggage storage, and the hotel accepts a wide range of payment cards (American Express, Visa, Diners Club, JCB, UnionPay, MasterCard). The property is wheelchair accessible, with features including an emergency cord in the bathroom, lower bathroom sink, raised toilet, grab rails, Braille signage and a lift.
