Hotel berhampiran Deliverance Outreach Ministries, Waltham Forest

We always stay at the Lion & Key when we visit London and have been fortunate enough to stay here again in October, December, and also January for my husbands 80th birthday. This really is the ”Savoy” of the small hotels in London and we always know without fail, we will have the most perfect stay. All the staff genuinely care about their guests having the best experience and you cannot fault the care and attention to detail that this hotel takes to ensure an excellent customer experience. They have a great team of which we would like to thank Giorgio, Kanti and Stephania for making all our visits a home away from home. The rooms and also public areas in the hotel are kept pristinely clean and are bright and cheerful. I love the attention to detail this hotel has even with the smallest thing. i.e. the shower cap in the bathroom also has a small hairband in the box ,which is excellent if you have long hair and can’t find your own! The beds are also extremely comfortable and we both always have an excellent night sleep. We love the open kitchen where you can see all the food being freshly prepared and cooked to order. They are very generous with their breakfast time which doesn’t end until 12 o’clock lunchtime. The choice and range that they offer in their restaurant, regardless of breakfast or main meals throughout the day would accommodate even the most fussiest eaters, which I am, but even I am extremely spoilt for choice as the breakfast menu is so comprehensive. The quality of the ingredients used in the restaurant is first class and so is the time and care in presentation which also reflects the pride that they take. We can honestly say that the breakfast’s we have at the L&K are the most tastiest, freshest, consistently perfect breakfast’s we have ever had and far exceed the quality that we have experienced over the years in 4 & 5 star hotels. To be honest, we often wonder how they continuously provide such care and attention to detail for the customer, even more so since Covid as many many hotels and restaurants seem to still use this as an excuse for a less than perfect service or menu range. We must’ve had over 100 of breakfasts since we have been coming here in 2018 and the eggs are always perfectly cooked with a lovely orange yolk, regardless of whether it’s a normal full English breakfast, or my husbands favorite the Egg Royale. We very rarely eat sausages or bacon at home, but the quality and taste of the ones here are amazing, so we always, always enjoy our breakfast which set us up for exploring all day. The transport links to this hotel are excellent as well. There are four buses that go past the hotel to Leyton underground, one of which is running 24 hours and they seem to come by every few minutes. Stratford is only four stops from Leyton so excellent connections for overground, DLR, O2 etc. Liverpool Street is the next stop along for even more connections so the location we find is a great asset to wherever we

Really glad I found this hostel! It’s the first time I tried out capsule hostel, won’t be the last I guarantee! It’s close to brick lane, easy for me to walk to the bigger station. And it make me feel safe! The host is mostly helpful and gracious. Definitely recommend to any solo traveller and backpacker, best price and reasonable price for a resting place. The capsule has multiple of set up as well, so you can change the lighting inside as well, feel like I’m space station Love it!

Stayed here for one night, second visit. Last time when I arrived they told me I had been upgraded to a bigger room with a complimentary breakfast (that was with ***********), but no such luck this time. Room was a good size with a sofa next to the bed. Got a good night’s sleep and the bed was extremely comfortable. Didn’t bother going to the bar but instead visited a pub over the road and went to a nearby Wetherspoons for breakfast rather than paying £20. The swimming pool was great, not too busy when I used it, although I noticed people were ignoring the no photography/phones rule and one woman was even taking selfies in the water! The location is great, close to the Tower of London and Tower Hill tube. Definitely one of my go-to hotels when in London.

Such a Great Location & the Staff is Amazing! It’s located right next to Kings Cross & Coal Drop Yards which is convenient. Check in is simple & they even let you leave your luggage for free if you get their early & after your check out. The staff is so kind, to the front desk, Maintenance, Cleaning Crew & Management. I love how the beds you can change the color of the Lighting. There are plugs for your phone & a locker to store your stuff. Also a bar to hang socks or a Towel. They have a huge lounge area where you can chill or work & a kitchen. Pretty big kitchen, great way to save $ while traveling! Bathrooms are always clean & always hot water. They have events throughout the week which is great for connecting with new people. You can tell the staff is like family here & genuine souls! Definitely suggest checking out this Hostel when traveling to London! My next trip into London, I’ll definitely be staying here. 💚

Good place to stay ……. Highly recommend

I lodged for 3 nights and it’s a nice place to stay. I was suprised that they don’t serve the hot portion of the English breakfast so I had to do with toast, ham, cheese and turkey. Good location. Hotel is located just beside Tesco and the bus stop to Barking Train station. Room cleaning service was great too. The heater in my room could do better. Sometimes I didn’t feel any warmth. Overall, highly recommend for a budget trip.

I been to this hotel many times, its always gives best to stay after a long travel for sure, best clean and neat room, this time receptionist her name is Anisha she treated us really well much appreciated 👍,,, all is fine, the only thing I felt missing is tissues, I couldn't find any tissue box available in the room, but nice place.

Very pleasantly surprised with this place! It’s huge, very well kept (room wise), very clean in the en suite showers etc. slept very well. It is super busy, especially during the check out times. The only negative I can say is that when I came at night to check in, they didn’t have enough keycards to give me one, so they walked me to the room and let me in. This wasn’t a big deal but just a silly oversight to not have enough key cards for your rooms. Aside from this, staff were very good and easy to deal with.

Was a great experience and the staffs as well. The facilities was clean and we find is easier to speak with the staffs for help. The app to assist customers was also a great idea and my life easier. Great stay
