We stayed at the Hive for Christmas(2012) and New Year's. Where can I start? I absolutely love it! The location is great. 10 minutes to the Stratford station by bus and from there on the Central line to central London in 20 minutes. The rooms are warm and cozy, and the beds are very comfortable. After a day walking around... More

I have stayed at the Hive E15 twice on seperate trips to London. The host, Olivia, is the kindest and most friendly b&b owner I have ever stayed with!

We were two families, in total eight persons, sharing the place during the Olympics. We had five rooms and three bathrooms to share in between us.

Olivia was a great hostess and everything worked out perfectly well with e-mail contacts, appointments and so on.... More

The house is well, about 13 kilometers from the center, but has a good combination to go from Plaistow and Stratford underground. Olivia very nice and gave us plenty of food welcome. Clean. Perfect home for 8 or 9 people.

But, the most important reason make you stay... More

From May 23rd to May 29th our family rented the whole house for a 6 days visit to London. As the house have 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, it was perfect for a family of 5 + 2 grandparents. We arrived late the first day, but were met with Olivia's warm welcome. She had filled up the refridge and we... More

We lucked into this wonderful little place, and it made our week in London so easy and comfortable. And did I mention inexpensive. There are comfortable dining and TV rooms, a well equipped kitchen, and a well-stocked refrigerator that guests are free to exploit. (And if the host's short on something, tell her. Or you could probably find it yourself... More
