Another lovely stay

Have stayed here several times and have always been made to feel very welcome. The rooms are fabulous as is the food. Would be nice to have glasses in the room for water at night or other cold drinks Parking can be quite difficult as only a very small carpark but it is gated entry that has full CCTV which is good. There is some street parking at limited times

Everything was spot on. All tidy and clean, modern furnishings. Nothing to complain. A very pleasant stay. Only improvement for me personally would be a good a fitted sheet on the bed rather that a flat sheet but a minor detail

Nice hotel

Nice hotel. I left some belongings in my room after I checked out. However, Giorgio was extremely helpful; confirmed that he had my belongings, kept them safe, and kept in contact with me to ensure that the courier collected my things. Thank you Giorgio!

Another nice stay

Another stay at the Lion and Key as we were visiting family nearby. As usual the room was v clean and everything worked . The aircon heated the room up and cooled it down efficiently . The hotels is quiet and while it has a lot of rooms according to the site it has never been busy whenever we have visited .We will v probably stay again as it very convenient for us when we are down seeing family . it is not a touristy bit of London and while I suppose you can get everywhere on public transport I am not sure it would be the best choice for people wanting to see the main sights of London .

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.

Spotlessly clean. Great room with a double and a single bed on top floor. All facilities working well. Plenty of consumables available. We were a little late checking out but this wasnt a problem. Food in the bar were friendly, the food was good pub food and the coffee delicious. Hotel staff were friendly and efficient, no hanging around. We booked this hotel Only minor negatives: the lift does go up to the 3rd floor but the light on the button doesn't work and the doors are very slow to close, making it seem as though the lift only goes to the 2nd floor. The windows need to be fully closed to activate the aircon-we didnt realise this as the writing is so small on the heating instructions, but there are sensors on the windows. One bar staff was a little rude when we asked for the service charge to be removed as you pay as you order, not after you've eaten, we wouldve been happy to leave a tip if at the end and he wasnt so rude. This hotel appeared closer to The O2 on the Hotels.com app, it is actually around 8 miles away, only a 15 min walk to Leyton underground then 4 stops on 2 lines, but definitely not withing walking distance agter a show. Great location to go to Leyton Orient football stadium though, if that's what you are going for. Overall, very good value for money.
