Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
We arrived much earlier than check in time permits and the pub staff happily stored our luggage so we could get on with exploring London. When we returned in the evening we were quickly given our keys and shown up to the room.
The beds were very comfortable, room was warm (December), and the shower had great pressure and heated up quickly. Our only fault is the smell of deep fryers that wafts upstairs and really gets in to our clothes and luggage.
Hotel was a quick walk to the tube station.
Such an amazing stay, the room was super clean and the bed was extremely comfortable! The people running the hotel were super kind and helped bring my bags as well! would absolutely come back!
Staff were very polite and helpful. The room wasn’t the most salubrious but I kind of liked it that way.
I like that the windows can open up and get fresh air.
Fabulous rooms over a really nice but nice but rowdy pub conveniently located in South London near south bank.
Provided a fridge with oat milk and Nespresso machine. Also 10% off drinks at bar.
Super, quirky room, like upcycled Victoriana. Comfy bed with big pillows. Clean and spacious. Very good value. For this price you could stay in a grotty hotel rather than a pleasant room full of character. Walking distance to an event I had in Westminster. I’d stay again without hesitation.
