Thanks for the report, I was wondering about this property and you have answered my unasked questions!. I hadn't appreciated that the station really is next to the hotel. The other thing about this place is that this hotel may work well if arriving into or out of LCY, with perhaps a few days in London or a transfer to LHR. Or LGW / STN / LTN for that matter, the transport links work well for all of them, either on the EL or the Greater Anglia services.

In the case of LCY, it's a case of taking the DLR from LCY to Stratford, then a fast nonstop GA train to Romford, so one fairly easy change. LGW is a single change at Farringdon on the Elizabeth Line. Luton Airport LTN is also a change at Farringdon. Stansted: a single change is possible, taking the coach between Stratford and STN, or the Stansted Express to Liverpool Street plus Elizabeth Line; but the faster route is Stansted Express to Tottenham Hale, then changing again at Stratford.

That said, the recurring word is Stratford and Hilton does have more expensive options there.
