Where to Stay in Stratford, London: Hotels Near Westfield and the Olympic Park (2026)

Westfield and Stratford station: 4 to 10 minutes to the shops. This is the patch to book if the station is the point: every Tube line in Stratford is a few minutes away, and Westfield Stratford City is on the doorstep. Hyatt Regency London Stratford is built into Westfield itself, 4 minutes' walk from Stratford station and 4 from the mall, and 14 from London Stadium. It was the Holiday Inn London Stratford City until a refurbishment relaunched it as a 225-room Hyatt Regency in 2022, with the Elondi restaurant, bar and terrace. A King Room was about £290 room only on Booking.com for Tuesday 10 November, or £321 with free cancellation.

It's the most expensive midweek bed here, because the weekday trade is business travellers, and it gets cheaper at the weekend: £212 for the West Ham match Saturday, 21 November. The downsides are age and access: a regular guest on Google says the rooms are starting to show their age, one found that cars can't pull up near the entrance, so expect to wheel your case through the complex, and parking is in Westfield's public car park. There's no pool. Ask for an Olympic Park-view room, which is sold as its own room type.

Premier Inn London Stratford is on International Square inside Westfield, 4 minutes from Stratford International and 6 from Stratford station, 9 from the heart of the mall and 18 from London Stadium. The hotel calls itself the closest hotel to the Olympic Park. It's the predictable choice: a Standard double was £143 non-refundable on Tuesday 10 November, or £188 flexible, and a room with a city view only £16 more. The Social, its restaurant and bar, is open 24 hours.

It's also one of the hotels that jumps at the weekend: £204 on the West Ham match Saturday, 21 November. There's no car park of its own (Westfield's Car Park A charges £25 per 24 hours), and a recent Google reviewer couldn't get anyone to answer the phone, so make changes online. Family and accessible rooms are bookable. It's the cheapest bed within a few minutes of the HS1 trains.

Hyatt House London Stratford is the Regency's extended-stay sister in the same building (it used to be the Staybridge Suites), 3 minutes from Stratford station, 5 from Westfield and 15 from London Stadium. Every studio and suite has a kitchen, breakfast is included, and there's a 24-hour gym and a guest laundry. A 26-square-metre King Studio for two was about £252 with breakfast on Booking.com for Tuesday 10 November, which makes it better value than the Regency next door for anyone who wants to cook a meal or two.

The weekend runs the other way: £323 for the West Ham match Saturday. One recent Google reviewer found a tired room with air-conditioning that didn't work for a day, and called parking (in the Westfield car park) a hassle. For a family, the one-bedroom suite with a sofa bed gives you a separate living room; for a week's stay, this is the building I'd pick in Stratford.

Moxy London Stratford on Great Eastern Road is one of the two closest hotels to the platforms: 3 minutes to Stratford station, 10 to Westfield and 23 to London Stadium, on the town-centre side of the tracks. It's Marriott's playful budget brand, so you check in at the bar, which doubles as the 24-hour front desk, and the lobby is built for hanging out. On Tuesday 10 November the cheapest room on Booking.com was an Extra Sleeper Queen with a sofa bed, sleeping up to four, at £175 non-refundable; a Premium Queen with a balcony was £178, and a plain Queen £179 with free cancellation. A Queen was the same £175 on the West Ham match Saturday.

The rooms are small and basic: open rails instead of a wardrobe, no safe and no fridge, which a recent Google reviewer spells out. Breakfast is £17 extra, and another reviewer mentions a noisy air-conditioning unit. Pick it for the station and the bar, not for a long stay.

East Village and Stratford International: 11 to 12 minutes to Westfield. North of the mall, around the old Olympic athletes' village, are Stratford's three smartest stays, all two minutes or less from Stratford International, where Southeastern's high-speed trains reach St Pancras in about 7 minutes. The Stratford fills the lower floors of Manhattan Loft Gardens, the 42-storey tower beside Stratford International, with 145 rooms designed by Space Copenhagen. It's 11 minutes to Westfield, 9 to Stratford station and 20 to London Stadium, and it's the one I'd book for a couple who want a proper bar and a restaurant worth staying in for: Kitchen E20 downstairs, the Mezzanine cocktail bar, and Kokin, a Japanese omakase counter on the seventh floor.

It's also better value than it looks. A Standard Queen was about £214 room only on Booking.com for Tuesday 10 November, and £222 on the match Saturday, less than the Hyatt Regency midweek. Budget for the extras, though: the hotel's own terms add a 4% discretionary service charge to room bookings and take a £50-a-night deposit, and the gym has no showers or changing rooms. The ground floor has DJs and live music at weekends. Standard rooms are 23 square metres; step up to an Executive (28, sleeps three) if you want space.

The Gantry London is the Hilton Curio Collection hotel on Celebration Avenue, 291 rooms over 18 floors, with a rooftop restaurant and terraces on the 18th floor, an STK steakhouse, and a Colombian coffee bar on the ground floor. It rates 4.7 on Google from 2,516 reviews, the best score of any hotel here, and it's 2 minutes from Stratford International, 12 from Westfield, 10 from Stratford station and 22 from London Stadium. On Booking.com a 26-square-metre Deluxe King was about £282 room only for Tuesday 10 November.

Like the Hyatt Regency, it's a weekday business hotel that drops at the weekend: a King Gantry Room was £217 for the West Ham match Saturday. The trade-offs are distance and parking. It's really a Stratford International hotel, so for the Central, Jubilee and Elizabeth lines you walk 10 minutes to the main station, and there's no car park (the nearest is Westfield's). Book a Deluxe room, which the hotel places on the higher floors with views across London.

Aparthotel Adagio London Stratford is next door to the Gantry, the same 2 minutes from Stratford International, 12 from Westfield and 22 from London Stadium. All 136 studios and apartments have a full kitchen with a dishwasher and induction hob, there's a 24-hour reception, a gym, a laundry and a children's play area, and 36 units are sold as family rooms. A 26-square-metre studio for two was £223.86 non-refundable on Accor's own site for Tuesday 10 November, or £246 flexible.

For a couple that's not cheap, and breakfast adds £35 for two; it rose to £300.30 for the match Saturday. Where it earns its place is with a family: the 35-square-metre apartment for four, with a separate bedroom and a sofa bed, was from £332.10 on the Tuesday, less than two hotel rooms, and under-16s eat breakfast free with a paying adult. Pets are welcome.

Stratford High Street: 14 to 15 minutes to Westfield, 16 to 20 to the stadium. The High Street runs south from the town centre towards Bow, with the DLR beside it and the Olympic Park behind it. It's the cheaper side for a West Ham game, and the nearest to ABBA Voyage (13 to 17 minutes' walk). Holiday Inn Express London - Stratford is my value pick in Stratford: £135 for a double on Tuesday 10 November with a hot breakfast included (£180 flexible), 6 minutes from Stratford High Street DLR, 10 from Stratford station, 14 from Westfield and 16 from London Stadium. It has 153 rooms over six floors, and the double with a sofa bed costs the same as the plain double, with under-18s staying free.

It also has something almost nothing else in Stratford has: its own car park, £22 per 24 hours, though with only 15 spaces and no pre-booking. The catch is that everyone knows it's good value. It was completely sold out for the West Ham match Saturday, on its own site and on Booking.com. It's a plain chain hotel on a busy road, with no pool and a pub-style Great Room for dinner.

The Westbridge Hotel is the independent with some history: it's in a Grade II-listed former coaching inn, the Yorkshire Grey, which was a pub from at least 1776. It's 3 minutes from Stratford High Street DLR, 8 from Stratford station, 15 from Westfield and 20 from London Stadium, with a 24-hour front desk, a guest lounge with the old fireplace, a courtyard and a free gym. A 17-square-metre Standard Double was £144.32 room only on its own site for Tuesday 10 November, or £172.48 with breakfast.

It went to £189.20 for the West Ham match Saturday. There's no car park, the standard doubles are compact, and the restaurant is halal, which matters if you want bacon at breakfast. It rates 4.4 on Google from 1,279 reviews, with the recent ones praising the staff and the cleaning. For £29 more than a standard double, the Deluxe with a balcony is the room I'd ask for.

Travelodge London Stratford is the cheapest conventional hotel double midweek: £81.99 non-refundable on Tuesday 10 November, or £93.99 flexible. It's 5 minutes from Stratford High Street DLR, 9 from Stratford station, 15 from Westfield and 17 from London Stadium, and staffed 24 hours, with a Bar Café for breakfast and dinner.

You get what that price buys. It rates 3.7 on Google from 2,208 reviews, and recent complaints are about cleaning and unhelpful staff. Air conditioning isn't listed for its rooms. The weekend price doubles: £165.99 for the match Saturday. If you're coming for one night at the stadium or ABBA Voyage and just need a bed, it's fine; for anything longer, the newer Travelodge on the Broadway is the better room.

The Broadway and Romford Road: 14 to 18 minutes to Westfield. East of the station, around the old town centre and the Stratford Centre shopping mall, are the cheaper chains. Travelodge London Stratford Centre opened in early 2026 in the converted Gredley House office block, with 151 air-conditioned rooms. It's 4 minutes from Stratford High Street DLR, 7 from Stratford station, 14 from Westfield and 25 from London Stadium. A Standard room was £92.99 non-refundable for Tuesday 10 November, and a SuperRoom with a bath and a drinks fridge only £15 more.

It was £145.99 for the West Ham match Saturday. It's still a Travelodge: housekeeping and fresh towels come on request, and one reviewer who stayed 13 nights found the premium Wi-Fi limited. But the early reviews are warm (3.9 on Google from 83 reviews), and at this price it's the budget room I'd book in Stratford.

ibis London Stratford is a three-floor, 108-room ibis on Romford Road by the Broadway, 8 minutes from Maryland station (Elizabeth line), 9 from Stratford High Street DLR, 11 from Stratford station, 18 from Westfield and 30 from London Stadium. A Double Sweet Room was £130.90 non-refundable on Accor's site for Tuesday 10 November, or £154 flexible, and there's a FOGGS restaurant and bar open until midnight.

It's the furthest from the stadium, and it was sold out for the West Ham match Saturday. The reviews are the weak point: Accor's own guest scores put rooms and cleanliness at 6.3 out of 10, and recent guests complain of a council vehicle depot behind the hotel and late club music across the road. Ask for a front-facing room. It's a fair price for a clean bed, but the Holiday Inn Express, £4 more with breakfast, is the better night.

Pudding Mill Lane: the closest bed to the stadium. Snoozebox Olympic Park is a hotel built from shipping containers on the south edge of the park, a minute from Pudding Mill Lane DLR (one stop from Stratford) and from the ABBA Arena, and 10 minutes from London Stadium, the shortest walk to the ground of any hotel here. It's also the cheapest: £68.48 on its own direct rate for Tuesday 10 November, or £85.60 flexible, and from £116.53 on the match Saturday. It's adults only, with a street-food bar and a DJ after-party on its terrace.

Know what you're buying. The rooms are about 7 to 8 square metres with a double bed and a single bunk, and a recent Google reviewer points out that the windows don't open; it's tight for two. The bar is right next door, though quiet hours start at 11pm, and there's no parking. For one night after a match or ABBA Voyage it's perfect. For a London holiday, book anywhere else here.
