The Lion & Key Hotel

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

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.

Great host and bar and grill

Taxi was only £6 from Stratford. Quite a bit of road noise. But staff fab, room clean and food lovely. Would have loved some water in the room as bar closed at 11pm.

For the money there are a lot better, more comfortable and convenient with parking major purple hotel chain that I wouldn’t think twice to book or recommend other than here. The mattress was solid with polyester sheets and duvet which when the air on doesn’t work means you wake up in a pool of sweat. Parking is a nightmare and you have to try and use on road which you will need to be gone by 8am or risk it not being there when you return.

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.

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.

The property was very clean, tidy and smelt fresh ... The staff were friendly and helpful. The only issue I found was parking, the property has limited parking spaces however I didn't manage to get a spot throughout my stay. Parking around the area is expensive and restricted.

Lovely staff and car park was very handy

Fantastic hotel. Good food and drink. Modern rooms. Parking was an added bonus. Only fault was that it said the bar was 24 hours but it shut at 11pm.

t fault the cleanliness of the room. The hotel staff were friendly and informative. The only thing missing in our room were hand towels and bath mat. We did have large bath towels and the shower was lovely

A real find. Spotlessly clean a tastefully decorated. Both dinner and breakfast spot on. Room 5⭐ including power shower.

Facilities was great, was really clean, the road was a bit annoying when trying to sleep but other then that I can’t fault it. Staff great too.

Staff very friendly. Restaurant very good value for money and great food. Room spotless.

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

The room was exceptionally clean, plenty of toiletries and towels provided. Its about a 10 min walk from Leyton station. Plenty of food options along the way from the brand name takeaways to milkshakes, donuts and supermarkets. I had a lovely full english in the morning which was excellent.

I cannot fault the service from this hotel. It was a stay for my daughters wedding and we had a number of rooms booked. All were given early check in and late check outs at no extra cost. The service was super professional and so friendly. The room itself was spotless and very comfortable. Thank you from us all!

This boutique hotel catered to my needs. Rooms were clean and service of the dining and bar staff was impeccable and friendly

The staff were very helpful. The room was very clean and new. However, all of the flooring are tile. There is no soundproofing between the room door and corridor. Hotel Guests were coming and going until 2 pm. I think also there was a cleaning cupboard next to my door constantly being accessed. At 3.20 am two bins of some sort were relocated outside the window of the hotel room. Real shame could not fault it other than you cannot get any sleep.

Reception and check in - bland Supposed to be free daily beverage - had to ask every day. They always turn air con or heating controls off when you go out, then you go to reception to ask for room controls to be turned on again.

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.

Decent hotel. Only issue is they switch off AC in the night when it was a warm day.

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 .

Brilliant location for London stadium! Hotel was clean and fresh! Room was big and spacious

Fantastic hotel. Good food and drink. Modern rooms. Parking was an added bonus. Only fault was that it said the bar was 24 hours but it shut at 11pm.

The front end staff is really top notch and the restaurant and bar staff is helpful and delightful!

Vip access Free drinks Thank you for the fake sale Expedia. Nice people there nothing against them. Don t sell fake please.

Staff very friendly. Restaurant very good value for money and great food. Room spotless.

Great service and great staff

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!

Staff were friendly, helpful and smiley this time

Loved hotel. Staff, rooms and food fantastic. Have stayed many times and always impressed with the standard and customer service

Prior to arriving I was concerned that I wasn’t staying in a known branded hotel but needed something close to QMUL. From the moment we arrived all the staff were beyond amazing. Truly some of the best service we have ever seen. The breakfast menu is amazing, would strongly recommend including it in your stay. The rooms were very clean in general but room service and restock was conducted daily unlike most other hotels now. The location is great becaue only a couple stops from central London using the tube and the station is a short 12 minute walk from the hotel. My only advise would be the area is not the safest after 11 so possibly be back before but the hotel itself has a lot of safety measures in place for its guests. Thank you so much for having us ! We will definitely recommend to anyone visiting and will be back soon as well.

Great location for london stadium

The staff and service are great, but the location is a bit far from everything.

The room was exceptionally clean, plenty of toiletries and towels provided. Its about a 10 min walk from Leyton station. Plenty of food options along the way from the brand name takeaways to milkshakes, donuts and supermarkets. I had a lovely full english in the morning which was excellent.

Great, clean place near local shops, restaurants and transport links to the rest of London

10 mins walk and 20 minutes metro to central London and half price compared to high street. excellent value

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

Brilliant location for London stadium! Hotel was clean and fresh! Room was big and spacious

Room was great, location was great for getting to London Stadium. Staff were on point.

Great staff hotel ok area very poor

Pleasant reception. Nice clean room and easily controlled room temperature. Also nice restaurant attached. Only downside is as VIP members should have been offered a free drink but this did not happen. However everyone staying at hotel got 20%! off the food bill.

Modern clean and had a good breakfast but found it a little expensive.

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.

Surprisingly good. Food is great. Don’t pay the pre-booked breakfast price - just buy it on the day.

Food at restaurant was great

Staff very friendly. Restaurant very good value for money and great food. Room spotless.

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.

The desk reception staff is extremely welcoming, friendly and SO HELPFUL! The spacious room itself was perfect for our 4 day stay. Windows open to let in that cool rainy air freshness. The room had everything we needed. My favorite part was the out of this world delicious food from their kitchen. Best falafel I’ve ever had. Hummus and tzatziki out of this world. The entire neighborhood is so diverse in its residents and therefore food selection. Bakeries, Turkish fpod, Chinese, burgers, doners, Indian, Lebanese, seafood grill and the obvious fast food like KFC. It’s a safe, easy 10 min walk to the Leyton station, which will take you straight to city center London. Pharmacy next door. TK Maxx down the road and several convenience stores with everything from toiletries to fresh fruits. Lots of coffee shops, too. My only downside is that they don’t serve breakfast until 9am. Beds aren’t very large and pillows were hard and mattress was rock but despite that; we’d stay there again in an instant. The kitchen and lobby was so festively decorated for Christmas so that was a charming touch. Also, the airport pay our luggage so we didn’t have any toiletries and rhe lovely female working the desk upon our checkin gave us so many extras because it was late, no stores were open by the time we checked in. Quality hotel- safe, profitable and very clean! Highly recommend!

Lovely boutique style hotel, friendly, helpful staff and great food, I recommend the L&K breakfast. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Fantastic hotel. Good food and drink. Modern rooms. Parking was an added bonus. Only fault was that it said the bar was 24 hours but it shut at 11pm.
