Not bad
Staff very helpful but obviously the place is in the middle of a long renovation. Bed comfy and the site is peaceful at night. Not many sockets for kettle and so on. Room felt half done as bathroom showed signs of age even though bedroom looked newer.
Quiet, clean, warm and comfy bed. Basic, but I liked it and plan on staying here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Positives: Staff were welcoming and friendly. Beds were comfortable and the room was good value. No frills hotel which was perfect as we just needed somewhere to crash for the night
Negatives: There was a slight smell from the bathroom upon arrival. It was a little tricky to navigate to the hotel.

Liked: Staff & service
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.
Hotel is undergoing renovation. Not mentioned when booking. All floor coverings are lifted, gym out of use and the breakfast was just the serving staff knocking stuff up. Questioned the female in the restaurant regarding the current state and that it wasn't advertised to be told 'there's loads of gyms in town'. Won't book again.

Food for thought.
I wasnt going to leave a review, im aware they have recently tsken over the property but the decor of the rooms isnt really becoming of its stately surroundings. The high ceilings with cold concrete floors were not very inviting and paint over the bathroom tiles, well it looks cheap to be frank.
The above was my impression that was going to stay with me until i noticed on my receipts from the bar you had the cheek to add a service charge to drinks purchased That really took the biscuit especially as i stood at the bar to order the drinks along with returning the empties and at no time did anyone mention the sneaky charge.

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
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
Reception staff professional and friendly. Alex was excellent. Breakfast food was really good and tasty. Would like to return when refurbishment is complete.
