The location is perfect and magnificent and the food is splendid. Waltham Forest is a district that deserves exploring. It offers tastefully decorated rooms with the park nearby, great shower plus a smart TV.

The location was unbeatable and lovely, for example, landscaped gardens was a 10-15 minute walking distance from the hotel. It was located in a really friendly area so close to central London, the underground Central Line in eastern direction and tube stations-Leyton and Leytonstone.

Nice location, it was short walk to the London Stadium, London and the underground Central Line in eastern direction. The room was well-equipped and had a beautiful view of London skyline.
Some people working there were not so good.
