I had a good stay at Viking Hotel on Romford Road so close to Stratford city center. The room was clean, comfortable, and had a counter mini fridge, which was really useful. The General Manager, Gul, was very kind and helpful. The hotel also allowed late check-in, which worked well for me. Overall, it’s a great place to stay if you want something nice at a good price

Be aware this hotel is either being used for a scam or is buying five star reviews... the person who messaged me on Telegram has now deleted their account - but read all reviews and decide for yourself rather than rely on the star rating.
