Amazing hotel
Pros:

First of all, I want to say a massive thank you to the hotel team for helping us with an urgent early check-in. They really did everything they could to accommodate us, and we truly appreciated it so much.

The staff were all very kind and welcoming, especially the girl at reception — I believe her name was Stefania. A special thank you to her for being so friendly, helpful, and understanding throughout our stay.

The room was lovely, very clean, quiet, and comfortable. The bed was amazing, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and we had a really good night’s sleep.

In the morning, we had breakfast at the hotel restaurant and everything was absolutely delicious — honestly 10/10. The food, the atmosphere, and the service were all excellent.

I can genuinely recommend this place and I’m really happy we chose to stay here. Thank you again for such a lovely experience!

Clean and friendly, but definitely a budget stay.
Pros:

Convenient location for accessing Walthamstow theatre. Bit of a trek from Leyton station, but the bus stops right outside the hotel.

Cons:

Definitely more of a “budget” style property, but the room was clean and front desk was helpful. There were cracks in the ceiling in the bathroom, and a really unpleasant smell in the hallway.

Mooi hotel met prima locatie maar nooit meer via Booking.com
Pros:

Prima kamers, vriendelijk personeel heel lekker ontbijt met verschillende keuzes.
In de buurt verschillende winkeltjes en snacks.

Cons:

Booking gaf prijs aan van 580 euro maar eenmaal ingecheckt vroeg men 755 euro.
Upgrade kamer zonder overleg en verhoogde prijs.
Nadat we dit aanklaagden zou men 105 euro terugbetalen.
We zijn benieuwd......
