I’d be Lion if I complained 😂
Stayed on Queen floor with a great view of the city. Room was impeccable and comfortable. Walk-in Shower was fantastic. Bed was very comfy too. Really enjoyed this stay. Would come again.

We stayed here while our friend who lives nearby was having a baby. It was perfect for that. Very stylish and clean, a refuge for us while we felt able to be on hand for our friend.

We used the hotel for a Saturday night stay. The location was good and the room was well decorated and clean. The issue we had was that there was no coffee machine/kettle in the room. Everything else was provided, teabags, cups, milk etc. we raised this at the pub bar and were told that they would sort it out. We were going to a nearby birthday party so couldn’t wait around for them to do it as they said it would take around 20 minutes. We agreed that they would leave it outside the room but when returning later that evening they had done nothing. The staff seemed to be more focused on the pub than the hotel

A lucky find! Convenient location, close to Leytonstone underground station. Perfect as we had tickets for ABBA Voyage. We booked three rooms, all slightly different, very comfortable, lovely decor. Had food in the pub, typical pub food, reasonably priced.
We would definitely return.

Voor 3 dagen is het een prima hotel, leuke kamers met een gezellige bar eronder. Maar daarom ook wel weer minder dat je niet vroeg naar bed kan want dan wordt je door de muziek het bed uitgetrild, zelf met de ramen gesloten.

The room itself was nice enough, although not as good as the room we had last time. There was a party going on in the pub until 1am, lots of street noise and cars racing up and down the road, so we didn't get to sleep until gone 1am. However, this was to be expected in Leytonstone High Street and above a pub. What was NOT expected, was some random man walking into our LOCKED hotel room at 7:30am! Somehow, this person had entered the supposedly secure building & despite us locking the door from the inside, using the outside handle just unlocked and opened the door without needing the key card. Luckily I was able to get the man to leave but anything could've happened (especially to a female staying there alone) and my partner was unable to get back to sleep afterwards. We'd been out all evening whilst the party was going on & anyone could've come into our room, taken our belongings etc. I've contacted the company that owns this venue by email and phone, but have had no response whatsoever. It would seem they don't care about the security of their guests, once they have your money. We certainly won't be staying here again.
