Hotels Near Hawkwood Nature Reserve in Waltham Forest

We stayed here for 2 nights as we were going to see the Abba show at the Abba arena. I cannot fault it at all. We had a lovely bedroom which was spotlessly clean and had a little terrace with table and two chairs. There was a supply of biscuits tea coffee etc and two bottles of water which were replenished. The bath towels were a sensible size and were replaced on the second day and shampoo ,shower gel, hand wash and hand lotion provided. There was also a floor standing fan in our room which was appreciated as the weather was very hot. The staff were all friendly and there was a fantastic cooked breakfast on both days(we were staying over the weekend-I think in the week it is a continental breakfast.) There was also cereals, fruit juices and pastries and bread provided to make toast. There was a bus which stopped nearby and we were able to get to woodford underground station on the central line which was ideal for getting to the Abba arena. The pub was located in a nice area and the localpeople were all friendly. If we are ever going to an event in London again we would not hesitate to stay there.

The room is clean and very cost-effective. There is no restaurant in the hotel, but there is a good restaurant next door. It is a simple and clear express hotel, suitable for family travel. It is some distance from the subway station, about 30 minutes' walk!

Liked · The room and bathroom was clean. The owner was initially friendly - I asked about check out time, she said not to worry - whenever I was ready, which was a lovely response. Parking was easy. The bathroom was well presented. Disliked · The shower was scalding - when I told the owner she said 'many people' had complained, but the fault was with me (and the previous people) because we didn't use the dial. I did use the dial and it was scalding. Given that many people have complained, clearly the issue is the shower and not 'many people'. She later said this was 2 people. The owner was hostile at my complaint, which really is not unreasonable. The room is shabby (see pictures). The curtains don't fit, aren't hung properly (see pictures). The furniture is sp**** and shabby (see pictures). Windows frame appears to have melted. Holes in the curtains (see pictures). The bed is squeaky as soon as it is touched. The owner, when I complained about the shower, said she isn't a 5 star hotel, she is a 0 star hotel. This really isn't good enough. The basics I expect is a bed which doesn't squeak and a shower which is usable.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Adagio. The location is great. You have local shops in Westfield shopping centre and both Stratford International and Stratford train stations are nearby. You also have Olympic Park nearby. The hotel has kettle, nespresso machine, dishwasher,hob and microwave. I thought the bed was comfortable and the gym was good. Would definitely stay here again :)

We booked a deluxe room but we're assigned a room with weird layout, there's a wall in between the bed and sofa which made the sitting and sleeping area become very cramped. We did managed to change to another room, but I'd make this known so other guests would be aware. The breakfast buffet was very good, especially the egg counter. We had breakfast for over a week there and enjoyed it everyday. The hotel is adjacent to the entrance of London Olympic Park which is a bonus for tourist to explore and discover. You can see the residences for the athletes which become condos and the Olympic stadium is now home stadium of West Ham Football Club.

Friendly welcome in bar. Room very basic, good size and comfortable large bed, no tea/coffee making facilities, fairly clean, a bit dusty and shabby. The bathroom is a good size with a powerful shower, sign requesting nothing to be put down toilet however no bin in bathroom. Toilet is a macerator type and is quite noisy when flushed. No breakfast or meals served in pub, but staff recommended places nearby. No toilet seat in ladies toilet in bar. An ok stay for a night but would not stay again. Close to Stratford Station, shops, restaurants.

The toilets in the hotel were large but the sinks were very small and it was very difficult to wash your face and brush your teeth, the air conditioning was warm and the overall appearance was clean, however the rooms were very sound proof.

Good value stay in this well-located capsule-style hotel. Right in the centre of Bethnal Green near the tube station, bus stop, museums, York Hall leisure centre, and various restaurants. Felt fairly safe for a lone female traveller. The compact Queen room was small, as expected, but well designed and did not feel too claustrophobic for one person. The bathroom was nicely decorated, clean and warm. Large TV with various apps (login required). Nespresso machine but no kettle or fridge. The room (on the third floor) looked straight out to the railway line and restaurants under the arches, but the soundproofing was excellent and the blackout blind seemed effective so I had a good night's sleep. Staff were helpful (providing me with a knife and fork to eat a takeaway, for example) but the self-check in/out was unnecessarily complicated, which meant the staff felt they had to be on hand to help guide you through it all the time anyway! Breakfast was included in my room rate but was a little disappointing - no decaffeinated coffee or herbal teabags, fairly limited hot food (bacon, scrambled eggs, beans and hash browns). However the pastries, cereals and so on looked good. Would stay again if a good price was available.

Such a Great Location & the Staff is Amazing! It’s located right next to Kings Cross & Coal Drop Yards which is convenient. Check in is simple & they even let you leave your luggage for free if you get their early & after your check out. The staff is so kind, to the front desk, Maintenance, Cleaning Crew & Management. I love how the beds you can change the color of the Lighting. There are plugs for your phone & a locker to store your stuff. Also a bar to hang socks or a Towel. They have a huge lounge area where you can chill or work & a kitchen. Pretty big kitchen, great way to save $ while traveling! Bathrooms are always clean & always hot water. They have events throughout the week which is great for connecting with new people. You can tell the staff is like family here & genuine souls! Definitely suggest checking out this Hostel when traveling to London! My next trip into London, I’ll definitely be staying here. 💚
