Best Hotels near Hackney Central, London

The hotel was quite busy however the staff were quite accommodating of my requests eg. Extending my check out, cold room, ice, shaving kit ( they looked but couldn’t fulfill this one) . Mr Nouri was particularly helpful. He even showed me a better way to manage my luggage. The only issue unaddressed was the basin that would not drain. Perhaps telling non front desk staff was the problem.

This was by far my favorite hotel in London! Great location with amazing views and Tesco is just 2 minutes walk away! It’s super convenient and clean! Front desk staff are super helpful and friendly especially Saim!!! She’s always smiling and ever ready to assist you with whatsoever you need! I’ll definitely be back ! Stayed for 2 weeks and annoyed every bit of it!!!!!!!!

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

We had an amazing stay at the Leonardo royal hotel. Staff went above and beyond for my son’s birthday. They wrote happy birthday on the mirror and gave him a card a chocolates. We were upgraded to an executive room and I can not fault it. It was beautiful and clean and very comfy. The view from the room looked over the shard and the hotel itself self is within walking distance from a lot of attractions. We had the best stay and would definitely return.

We were let in to our room early which was great as we had lots of shopping with us. Staff were really helpful and always pleasant. We had a twin room and the beds weee comfy and clean. Lovely big windows with great views .really happy here

Very nice Hotel in a good location with good tube access for popular sightseeing attractions. . The hotel was very clean and tidy and the rooms were very nice and spacious too. Breakfast was very good with a good variety to choose from. Would definitely stay here again

Lovely overnight getaway. Fantastic room - Executive Lounge Room 614 - with a great view of Crossrail. Only downside on that was that you heard the DLR starting at about 7am on the Sunday morning. The receptionist, Sandra, was really friendly and helpful and staffing the bar in the evening were likewise very good. The executive lounge on the 7th floor had a good selection of soft drinks, but we weren’t around to try the hot appetisers or free wine & beer in the evening as we already had dinner plans in the West End. Transportation wise, it’s a 2 min walk to the DLR, less then 5 to the new Elizabeth Line and only a few more to the Jubilee Line - perfectly positioned! Lots of restaurants and bars to choose from as well. Breakfast was fantastic, particularly loved the donut wall! Quite a novelty! The cooked breakfast was delicious, with omelettes made to order - more food than you could handle! Will definitely look to stay again in the future.

Loved it! Highly recommend. Super easy to get into town on DLR, and amazing breakfast. Lovely to watch swimmers go past. Staff really lovely and very helpful. Am booking to go again. Rooms not vast, but not too small and absolutely fine (shared a twin room with a pal).

Good location near Russell Square station, walking distance to Tottenham Court Road, Euston (15min). Room is basic and comfortable. Doors slam very loudly and cause disturbance at night. There was a function one night that lasted till almost midnight and the noise/music reverberations travelled a couple of floors up.

Traveled down to London for the weekend to watch Moulin Rouge Really enjoyed the weekend, the hotel was amazing, very impressed, every member of staff was polite and very welcoming Only thing I can fault was a smell in our bathroom when we arrived back from the theatre (smelled like drains) seemed to go away when the shower was run.
