The Lion & Key Hotel

Where to begin !!! The staff here are the gem, the girls on reception, at the bar, breakfast area - just an absolute gem of a group of lads and lasses. From the moment I liaised with the young lady on the front desk to get extras via the telephone, to the moment we left after 5 nights, we were treated impeccably and the guys are a fantastic team and enjoyed their company also. The breakfast is absolutely fantastic also - the time stems from 8-1pm which I have never seen before but just to be able to relax away from the rat race and know that when you rise without an alarm breakfast is still waiting, is brilliant! The location to Leyton tube is great - ten minute walk if that and the central line there meets with every other line - the staff at the tube terminal are great for advice of where to change etc. Price wise, we like Moretti and this was £5.75 a pint, which is similar to Liverpool so we were more than happy with that too. The rooms have fantastic views and are very spacious (we were in 308) and the cleaners were the most 'on the ball' cleaners I have ever come across - leave for breakfast and room completely redone by the time we went back up to the room. I honestly cannot praise this place enough - the staff are just the exponential icing on the cake and a credit to the team/family - Thank you, we cannot wait to come back and see you guys!

I liked the price and cleanliness most of all. The room was a basic basement room with two single beds. It was not over heated as some hotels are so great. Comfy bed. Location was great as close to where my family live. Good location for tourism too as central line so close by.

Good size bedroom and very nice breakfast

Great hotel! Friendly, helpful front of house staff, room was clean and organised. Easy to check-in and out and close to the station.

Our room was on the top floor and had windows on two sides -- and you could even open the windows -- so much less claustrophobic than most London hotels. Plenty of space; comfy bed.
