    On 9 Dec 2024 the hotel provided a champagne afternoon tea for 72 older Waltham Forest residents, many had disabilities. Wheelchairs, mobility scooters and walkers all accommodated easily. Everyone was made to feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. The food was good quality, plentiful and beautifully presented. Everyone enjoyed their experience. Not one complaint received. All varying allergy & dietary requirements fully met and they made a 91 year old person feel so special when they sang happy birthday and surprised her with a cake. Afternoon Tea experience highly recommended. Many thanks Gail Penfold, Robert Burns Humanitarian and Queen's Platinum Champion Crisis and Welfare

    We had the most amazing experience. Great service and great people, especially AJ, Alisha, and Titch. We were given a fantastic room as well as complimentary drinks and fruit platter. We will definitely be coming back soon. This is a great hotel, in a very vibrant part of city.. We had a great time.

    Not my usual style - criticising the service received on a forum like this, but as I have received no communication from this hotel since our stay in December, I feel it is now best way forward. My wife and I attended the London Palladium just before Christmas, and to book a hotel literally around the corner, was perfect for us. The location of this hotel is excellent. The ambience of the hotel was great, the breakfast was lovely, and all went well... Until we tried to use the hot water in the bathroom sink. It was stone cold. We called a member of staff late at night, and they confirmed it was faulty. To be clear, we DID have hot water for the bath/shower, but not having it in the sink was not ideal, or hygienic, especially after using the 'facilities'. We reported this at check-out the next morning and although an apology was received, the staff member was unable to offer any small discount or other sweetener. But said he would ask someone to contact us. Over a month later, we still have heard nothing. In my own work, service is extremely important, and I notice things when they aren't up to speed. We would have been happy to be given a 10% discount on the cost of our stay, which could have been refunded to us. Or even (although less useful) a discount on a future stay. But we have heard nothing at all, which isn't great. Hence the low star rating.
