This hotel is well deserving of its high rating on Trip Advisor. I booked this hotel as a base for 6 of us attending a wedding in North East London. The staff were courteous, very helpful and friendly. Room was spotless, comfortable and spacious with instruction on how to adjust the heat in the room simple and clear. Some of our party arrived early and the manager was very accommodating in ensuring they had rooms ready 2.5 hours earlier than normal and ensured we all had rooms close to each other. Nice location with nice walks nearby in Gunpowder Park and Lee Valle Park. To get the best of the location you would really require transport. Good choice of breakfast in the Bakers Arms across the car park, which also served excellent meals. The Bakers Arms staff were also courteous very helpful and friendly. I would definitely stay here again and would have no hesitation in recommending it to friends.
The only real downsides were the short duration time for breakfast: 7am to 9am mid week and 8am to 10am. The long timer duration of the bathroom fan (ours stayed on for over 20 minutes after the bathroom lights were switched off and was a bit intrusive at night when going to sleep). Only other issue was the smokers outside the front door of the building meant you had to keep the windows in the rooms nearest the front door closed to prevent the sound of smokers laughing and smoke filtering into the room.
