Lovely Hotel
Just back from a 3-day stay at the Sleeping Beauty Hotel. Our room was very big and a lovely large spotlessly clean bathroom. Staff very friendly. We didn't use the bar so cannot comment on that. Complimentary breakfast was adequate, cereals, juices and bread. The hotel represented excellent value for money. Tea making facilities in the room. All in all an enjoyable experience and we would certainly stay again and would recommend it. Anne, Dublin |

"Best service I've ever had!"
I arrived early A.M. on a Wednesday morning to a very polite desk clerk. I wasn't feeling well so he gave me a more expensive room than I paid for in the main building so I wouldn't have to move across to the annex (even though I had a hired chauffer who could very well have helped me). He, the clerk, then helped me with my luggage and made certain I was happy with the room before leaving me. The safe had easy to follow directions for use and I could chose my own code to use. The fridge was stocked with fresh milk and the cupboard with croissants and cereal. These were replaced fresh daily during my 4 week stay. I found the entire staff to be very friendly and courteous. The maids were exceptional and my room and bathroom were kept pristine clean. I was treated like I've never been treated before at even a posh hotel. The Sleeping Beauty has the right name, it is indeed more than the eye beholds. I plan on using the accomodations when I return next year. I give them AAAA++++.

"Good value for money at the Sleeping Beauty"
I stayed here for 3 nights while travelling around England - the rest of my holiday was spent in motels belonging to the main 'travel' chains.
The decor at the SB was shabby compared to the other places I stayed but apart from that there was little to choose between this independent and the chains - apart from the price. Situated outside the London congestion charge zone and with free parking - and a nightly rate about 1/3 less than the chains - I reckon I saved about £100 over the 3 nights.
The beds here were the most comfortable I stayed in throughout the trip; there was a fan in the room (not all the motels I stayed in had a fan) plus hairdryer, trouser press, TV and tea/coffee tray. The room and bathroom were clean; sheets and towels were changed daily and basic toiletries were provided.
Breakfast was served downstairs - do-it-yourself toast with butter and jam (get down early to avoid the queue for the toaster), cornflakes, orange juice, tea, coffee and milk.
I didn't use the bar - it was a smoking area - but the staff there were friendly and helpful and gave me a glass full of ice when my son twisted his knee. The Reception staff were equally friendly and helpful.
Leyton itself is a typical 'poorer' London suburb - very multi-racial with lots of interesting food shops and eating places. We found everybody very friendly. It is about a 20 min walk to the Tube station (I am a very slow walker) but the trains run every few minutes and take about 20 mins to the centre of London.
I would definitely stay there again. especially if I were taking the car, and would recommend it to anyone who is travelling on a budget.

"Great value, very clean"
We arrived at the Sleeping Beauty by bus. IT was easy to find, roughly 5 mins bus ride from Walthamstow tube station.
We both thought the hotel looked good, and the reception looked brilliant. Checking in was hard, as I couldnt undertstand the receptionist. I asked several times what she meant, and it took me a while to get it!!!!
Well other than that it was fine, and i thought the hotel was clean and well decorated. Our room was very very large, and the bathroom was huge!!! the room was very clean, and we thought it was brilliant!!! The view was great - we could see Canary wharf from our bedroom window!!! The bar is great - £1 for half a lager which is great!! There is a great cheap little cafe jus up the room, full english breakfast for £4! So as you can read, we enjoyed our stay. I think for £30 for 2 people, its great value. I would happily pay £45 for the room, anymore than that and itl be a bit expensive. The location is ok for us, near the tube if you dont mind walking a distance. But if booking this hotel, you should check the distance is ok. But there are lots of bars, restaurants, shops and bus stops nearby. One small negative is the noise, just a few cars but it didnt bother us. When my head hit the pillow I went straight off to sleep, so it really was sleeping beauty!!! One other downside is maybe the bed should be replaced, very squeaky but still comfortable.
