I was mostly there for location, cool place, Brrrr
I couldn't get hot water to run out of those taps no mater how long I left it on, kept running cold. Cant clean much with ice cold water, I didn't try the bathtub though. but I sure wanted to. Also thermostat in my room didn't work? got very cold at night. I wanted to like this place but it wasn't very warm. You could hear a full blow convo on the street. like the windows were wide open, Im not a light sleeper tg, but if you are, bring plugs.

Staff were nice but there was confusion about payment and breakfast. Also the room shared bathroom/toilet with the other rooms but nothing like this was noted on the listing. The room had no heating on.

Good night but some nagging complaints
The shower and bathroom is not in the actual room and this was not communicated in the listing at all. I feel like this is a significant issue - I wouldn't have paid the price I paid, if I knew I was sharing a bathroom and shower and so I feel like they hide this information on their listing to try and drive more custom. I don't want to pay over 100 pounds a night for a room that I don't even have a bathroom in. I really felt cheated and annoyed by this and this was a shame because I liked the place and just wish I didn't have this feeling. I also think the check in time is totally outrageous - 4:30pm! This is totally unacceptable - again for the price point. I have stayed in loads of hotels around London and there has never been a 4:30pm check in time. The room was good/comfortable and it had a comfortable bed. The hosts are really nice people and the bar is a good place to drink in. The room was clean and it is in a good location for the DLR. They provide some breakfast options in the room, which was good/helpful.

A very beautiful accommodation in a very good community. Staff were very helpful, transport links were good. Breakfast was different but good different. Tea and coffee facilities included a coffee machine with capsules which was a nice touch. The decor was very boutique and made the room look striking and pleasant. Definitely worth every penny I paid and I would recommend this accommodation. Congratulations to the owners, they have something very good.

Cody pub stay.
Comfortable room. Didn’t realise it was not ensuite until I arrived but maybe that was me not reading the listing properly! Nice spacious room.

Foo Fighters Weekend
Good location for the London Stadium, Great little pub and very quirky. Didn't realise it was a shared bathroom, but not really a problem. One thing I would suggest is new mattresses, ours was very soft!!

Nice place
Bed was a bit soft. Nice quirky room and decoration. Bit mean with the teabags (only 1 in the room). Not too obvious when booking that it was a shared bathroom. It is mentioned but I'd expect it to be clearer. Food in pub was great. Continental breakfast was interesting. Used as close enough to ABBA Voyage and transfers were easy. Would happily come back.

Good up and coming property. Rooms had a lot of space. Needs improvement in coffee area. But has a fridge and a fan, which is always a great inclusion in the room.

I loved the old artistic decoration and flowers growing in backyard. The Pub served great food. Staff were exceptionally friendly and nice hospitality. What i did not realize I was too old for carrying my luggage on narrow steps; going out of room to bathroom or showering. I am done with college dorm lifestyle for my own safety of a possible fall downwards with my big feet on narrow steps. Sorry!
