The hotel and the rooms themselves were freshly renovated. The bed was comfortable, room had good working air conditioning, and the bathroom was spacious, clean, and the water hot. The restaurant was newly renovated during our stay and the meal was fairly priced, extremely delicious, and the staff was attentive and friendly. There was also a newly attached bar with a large drink selection, friendly service, and fair prices. Any need we had was taken care of with a smile and promptly. Room service was daily with good service and there was a breakfast/lunch/dinner room service menu available to order if you wanted to relax. Really a gem hotel outside of London. The train station to London was about a mile and a half away so it was convenient. Would definitely stay here again!!!

From start to finish our stay at The Lion and Key Hotel was amazing. We arrived quite early and the staff worked hard to get our room ready 3 hours early, which was so greatly appreciated after traveling from the US. When the staff learned we had just gotten married, they decorated our room to celebrate, just above and beyond. We spent quite a bit of time in the bar and restaurant on site, the staff, food, and drink was amazing! We will definitely stay again our next trip to London.

The hotel was fantastic and great value for money. The room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was fantastic quality and service was great too. The hotel is only one stop away from Stratford then a 10 minute walk. There is good underground/overground and also bus services within walking distance. Would definitely book again

Rude check in / receptionist

Very rude receptionist checked in my elderly parents quite late at night and was demanding photo ID from them which people in their 70s don’t tend to carry around. They’ve stayed here at least 15 times before and never been asked for ID so it was very stressful for them on check in. We won’t stay again.
