OK, so having booked a one bed apartment via booking.com for nearly two weeks I shuddered as I looked at the reviews having parted with my hard earned. I contacted them directly to check whether there would be a problem and sure enough received a response that I was "to be upgraded" due to technical problems to a superior apartment near to Stratford. Whilst this wasn't ideal as I had anticipated walking to work it wasn't the end of the world as Stratford is a great place with plenty of bus services to where I was working. I have to say, despite all the negative reviews, I ended up on the 10th floor of a block called "Stratford Eye" and the apartment was amazing. Superb view, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a great lounge / kitchen area. Washing machine and tumble dryer. It was clean and there was also a third double bed, albeit in the lounge area. There is definitely no parking available nearby between 0800 - 1830 but there is a car park a very short distance away in The Stratford Centre which offers very cheap overnight parking. I can only say that the whole booking experience was fuss-free with the exception of being moved. Maybe I was lucky, maybe the negative reviews have made the property owners change their views but overall I was very happy, considering the price was less than half of nearby hotels. I feel I can't help but give 4 stars - maybe booking for a longer period of time is something they take into consideration, but I was treated extremely well.
