First Impressions
Walking into Luxury 2 Bed Apt in Olympic Village, you immediately get that “wow, this is actually nice” feeling — you know, when a place exceeds your expectations right from the start. The apartment sits in what used to be the athletes’ accommodation during the 2012 Olympics, and honestly, it shows in all the best ways. Everything feels purposefully designed and modern, but not in that sterile, intimidating way some places can be.
The Olympic Village Setting
Here’s what’s cool about staying in the Olympic Village — you’re essentially living where world-class athletes once stayed, but now it’s this vibrant residential area that most tourists never think to explore. The building itself has this contemporary feel with floor-to-ceiling windows that actually let in proper light. I mean, you’re in East London, which has completely transformed over the past decade, and you can feel that energy everywhere around here.
The Space Itself
The two-bedroom setup works brilliantly for families or friends traveling together — there’s actual space to spread out and not feel like you’re living on top of each other. The main room flows nicely into the living area, and the kitchen is properly equipped (not just a couple of sad appliances thrown together). What struck me most was how quiet it gets at night, despite being in a bustling part of the city.
Location Perks
You’re a quick walk from Westfield Stratford City if you need to shop or grab food, but more importantly, the transport links here are fantastic. Stratford station connects you to basically everywhere — Central London in fifteen minutes, or you can hop on the DLR and explore the Docklands. The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is right there too, which gives you proper green space when you need a break from city life.
Why Guests Love It
This four-star spot consistently gets high ratings (we’re talking 9.1 out of 10) because it delivers on the basics while giving you something a bit different from your standard London hotel experience. You get the independence of having your own space, the novelty of staying in Olympic history, and access to a part of London that’s genuinely exciting right now. Plus, let’s be honest — the value here compared to what you’d pay for similar space in Zone 1 makes it a pretty smart choice for anyone who doesn’t need to be right in the thick of tourist central.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
