Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Red Lion Hotel is full of charm, ideally located a short walk from Leytonstone tube station, making it convenient for attractions like ABBA Voyage. Guests find the rooms nicely decorated, of a good size, and very comfortable, often featuring amenities like a Nespresso machine, fridge with bottled water, and well-stocked bathrooms. The pub provides typical, reasonably priced food in a lively atmosphere, though some guests have noted music from the busy bar can be heard in the rooms. A Tesco nearby offers free parking, and "J'adore" bakery next door is a great breakfast option.

charming stay!

comfortable room cute lady free parking good bakery
the family room on the third floor was very comfortable (though there is no lift). the lady at reception was very cute. the hotel is full of charm. i was grateful for the nearby tesco that offers three hours of free parking. the nearby "j'adore" bakery was a good option for breakfast.
the only contact i had with staff was on arrival when i was shown to my room by the manager and given my key, i missed a follow up on my comfort.

street noise lack of elevator
the only real downside was the lack of an elevator (i was in a 'superior queen room'). carrying my luggage up several flights of stairs was not fun. also, the noise from the street at night was noticeable, even with the windows closed. street noise, lack of elevator

Adequate Stay With Drawbacks

dimly lit stairs missing plug
The stairs to the room were dimly lit. This proved challenging as it was on the second floor and accessible only by several flights of stairs. It was not a convenient arrangement. The washbasin lacked a plug. This made filling the basin impossible. There was also a deficiency regarding clothes storage.
