A great hotel with amazing staff and atmosphere. I called ahead of check in to request a room on a particular floor and this was accommodated upon check in, I’m so sorry but I forgot the name of the gentleman who checked us in but he immediately made us feel comfortable, welcomed and relaxed, he was very friendly as were the other bar staff - I asked for some ice to take to the room and typically I will be handed a glass with some ice cubes within, this time I was given a metal bucket loaded to the top with ice cubes, I know it’s just ice but it’s the small things I notice, the human things you might say. The staff are truly a credit to this hotel. The reception is attached to the very progressional and large bar area which honestly looks like it could be a standalone bar in the heart of Stratford let alone a hotel bar - very good drinks and cocktails not your typical hotel bog standard options, the well decorated bar itself is 24 hours which is a massive perk and it has a huge seating area which wraps around the ground floor of the hotel, the seats are also of a high luxury standard - there are games such as fussball, pool and if you’re a fan like myself of street fighter 2 - you are in for a treat, yes they have an original sf2 arcade machine! I was mind blown at the discovery lol. So my wife and I were staying in the Moxyfied sleeper with balcony and upon entering we were instantly pleased, opposite the bed is a large window with a lovely view of the East London skyline as does the large balcony which has a large patio window beside the bed so lots of views and it looks truly amazing at night, the HSBC building in Canary Wharf is visible, the ABBA arena and Westfield as they are a stones throw away, the surrounding apartment buildings also add to the London skyline at night - remarkable views. The bed is very comfortable with fluffy pillows, the TV has an led light behind it very nice touch, there are 2 large mirrors, many charging ports and the bathroom is large, a square layout vs the cramped rectangular ones you tend to see in hotels. There are a variety of food options at the hotel and the food holds up, it’s of a high standard. Westfield shopping centre is a 30 second walk away as is Stratford station so lots of transport links here too. The hotel offers late checkout up until 4pm at £10 per hour - very fair and very beneficial to those who’s plans change as ours did. This hotel impressed us so much that despite staying here last weekend to celebrate my wife’s birthday, we have decided to return the weekend coming purely for relaxation and recreation, I rarely visit the same hotel twice as I am constantly in search of that “go to” hotel and I can safely say - I’ve found it. Thank you Moxy Stratford for an unforgettable stay, we will see you soon!
