Super modern in a contemporary style. Lots of beautiful interior touches. Lovely staff. Massive bed. Oozes character. Great value for money. Booked after a days activity at Lea valley - close and easy to get to from hotel in car. Short drive to Waltham cross station if you fancy getting a train a couple of stops into Stratford for shopping. Would visit again. Thanks

All the making to be an amazing venue

Lovely Hotel recently opened, my only gripe is they didn’t change the bins or towels in 4 days we were there. Had dinner in the restaurant and it was exceptional food. The staff were fantastic, had an amazing gym and it was a great stay just not perfect.

Amazing location, beautiful room and friendly staff. Only criticism would be the breakfast. I dont mind continental at all but the choice was very limited and for £20:i definitely would expect more variety.

Great, convenient and good price

It was great, Very convenient, quiet location and relaxing. I don’t know the details as to what was eco-friendly. Didn’t do breakfast as price was too high. Just have normal bedside tables, the wood stump and small box weren’t big enough or necessary.

Nice little place to stay outside the hustle and bustle We used it as a base for tottenham hotspur stadium for post malone Its clean and tidy Pleasant quiet nights sleep on a comfortable bed and good pillow. My only issue is my fault... i didnt research before hand how far the tube/train station is so you have to get an uber/taxi to the station and then get the train to the stadium for the event This was easy enough but extra costs and hassle of not being 1 journey Otherwise its a good spot for a reasonable price

An ok stay

We checked in late at night but the car park was so poorly lit that we couldn’t find reception, we ended up going through an open fire exit on the second floor. Although a hot day, the rooms were extremely stuffy and hot, making it uncomfortable to be in, despite there being a fan in the room. Bathroom facilities were average, powerful shower and nice towels. Friendly reception staff. Over priced for the experience we had.

Low level customer service, Rode old lady in reception, but other receptionists were nice ladies. All rooms in this place has Toilet flashing issue. Bath has bad covering design, after taking shower you have the toilet floor full wet. And they do not do house keeping every day. They need some major refurbishment.

Fine stay with nice staff.

Nice functional place to stay for a night. Room was fine and clean. Nice touches, staff were lovely and friendly also milk served in a bottle, nice pottery cups. Could be nicer by having a way to keep the milk cool, or and a coffee machine but they have Nescafé sachets. Felt like it was trying to be swanky but not quite there. Breakfast- continental was £12 and then charged extra £3 for coffee plus included £3.70 service charge for a help yourself breakfast. Breakfast was sparse and food not replenished so not much selection. Asked for yoghurt & marmalade but they didn’t have any. I don’t mind paying a service charge ( they bought more toast when I asked) but surprised that coffee wasn’t included with breakfast !

The bed & pillows were very firm, we both woke up with neck ache! The toilet was filthy, needed a good clean with a lot of bleach. Broken tiles in the bathroom and stained. A good refurbishment is desperately needed. Staff friendly in the restaurant in the evening and also on the reception desk.

Nice size room for a family of 4. We enjoyed our stay and the surroundings. I would say there needs to be better signage to the reception area for when arriving in the evening.
