It was a pleasant surprise to find such clean modern facilities in an old fashioned building. The hotel and adjoining pub both had friendly and helpful staff, nothing was too much trouble.

Horia, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

From start to finish our stay at The Lion and Key Hotel was amazing. We arrived quite early and the staff worked hard to get our room ready 3 hours early, which was so greatly appreciated after traveling from the US. When the staff learned we had just gotten married, they decorated our room to celebrate, just above and beyond. We spent quite a bit of time in the bar and restaurant on site, the staff, food, and drink was amazing! We will definitely stay again our next trip to London.

Decent hotel and bar

Nice hotel, one breakfast I did manage to get was nice, breakfast times are 9-11 so if you put earlier you can get pre packed breakfast but it’s hit and miss whether u get it. , staff friendly , room nice and very clean , would stop again , parking is £15 a day and only 5 spaces and you have to ring hotel to let u in.

Really enjoyable stay, only let down by the strong smell of cigarette smoke in the room (B3) at certain times of day when the staff were having a break outside.

L&K Hotel Leyton

The hotel was fantastic and great value for money. The room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was fantastic quality and service was great too. The hotel is only one stop away from Stratford then a 10 minute walk. There is good underground/overground and also bus services within walking distance. Would definitely book again

Grat Location

Great location, food excellent pitty only opens at 9 for breakfast as too late. Bed comfy but room hot and very small sink. Take earplugs for noise and eye mask as light from fridge keeps room lit.

The location was terrible and it was kind of misleading about the location. Also, hotel didn’t have any napkin in room…etc.
Farokh, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Rude check in / receptionist

Very rude receptionist checked in my elderly parents quite late at night and was demanding photo ID from them which people in their 70s don’t tend to carry around. They’ve stayed here at least 15 times before and never been asked for ID so it was very stressful for them on check in. We won’t stay again.

6/10 Good

Great hotel - no breakfast until 9AM!

The room was clean and large. Bed comfortable and no problem. Air conditioning was efficient and kept the large room very cool. Shower was excellent and gave brilliant water volume, with complimentary soaps and shampoo. Only issue is the noise. By very busy high road that has sirens blaring at all hours, noisy bikes/cars. Constantly hear them. Note, unbelievably on a Thursday morning breakfast is not served until 9am! So for business users, as I am, this is not going to work. However, i was provided a cofffee by the really helpful and understanding receptionist, Dean, who took pity on me when I discovered there was no breakfast! (At 7.30AM)
