The hotel offers rooms with bunk beds, bean bags, and a shelf of kids' books that provide hotel-level comfort at a reasonable price. The 'Queen' rooms were beautiful, clean, and comfortable, much to the delight of the kids. The service was exceptional, with a lovely upgrade provided due to cancellations, making my stay hassle-free. The location was excellent for traveling around, with Leytonstone tube station conveniently close by. However, the dining experience left a bit to be desired with dairy products not meeting expectations.

My stay at the hotel was great overall. The room, though the door had a locking issue, was beautifully furnished and decorated, named after royalty, and spotlessly clean. It provided a quiet refuge during my intense work period, and the coffee machine and fridge were really useful. The showers could have been warmer, but it was a good stay.

The dining experience, operating as a bed and breakfast, had a small yogurt in the room fridge, but guests should note that the milk was sour. However, the hotel was centrally located near several excellent cafes for other dining options.

The hotel is situated in a very central location, perfect for meeting family and exploring London. The rooms were clean and well-decorated, though a bit warm. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, especially during bar hours. The dining options were limited, but the regional products added a nice touch. The overall amenities provided were sufficient for a shorter stay.
