10/10 Exceptional

What a fantastic find this was ! Next to the tube so easy to get to theatre and King’s Cross station. The pub is huge, taking the bottom floor with a mixture of indoor and outdoor bars. We were in the Charles room on the third floor. We had kettle and coffee machine, shampoo, conditioner and body wash, windows that opened and an extremely quiet fan, tv with every channel available. The bed was a king and extremely comfy Plug sockets and usb and usb c ports next to the bed. Our first day was a rush as we had theatre tickets but the following day we didn’t move. We stayed in Leytonstone and the pub. We hadn’t realised but they offer entertainment each evening in the pub. Friday was “drag bingo “. What a brilliant night we had. We had an evening meal there before playing bingo. The food was brilliant. Highly recommend the focaccia with feta and sun-dried tomatoes and the battered haddock. The chips were sooo good ! Plus as a resident you get 20% off food and drinks purchased as the bar. Staff were so friendly and kind and we would stay here again without hesitation. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

A great visit!

We stayed one night for a family event in November 24. Both the pub and the hotel were wonderful! The room was super clean and extremely comfortable. Although there was a DJ playing, we heard nothing from our room. On top of this, it was in a great location with plenty of shops and food around, plus only a 5 minute walk to the tube. Thank you so much and I would recommend you to anyone needing to stay around the area!!!

Hotel is full of charm. Family room is on 3rd floor (no lift) and very comfortable. Lady at reception is very welcoming and super helpful. Just make sure to double check the check-in time. Reception is closed and empty before then. It's impossible to park in surrounding streets between 10 am and 2 pm without a special LSE permit. Tesco nearby offers 3h of free parking. Leytonstone station is a short walk away. "J'adore" bakery next door is a good option for breakfast. All round a good experience.

4/10 Fair

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.

6/10 Good

We stayed in the Alfred room - the ‘deluxe’. It was v nice but the mattress was awful on the divan box bed. My husband is a big man and this felt like it wasn’t a pocket sprung mattress. We kept rolling into each other. Which made for a really bad night. Big building, no lift and the Alfred room was a long way up, for those who might find that a problem. Pub kitchen had closed when we wanted to order food at 7pm mid week but you could order pizza to the pub, we just didn’t fancy it that evening.

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.
