The two rooms that we booked were so cute. The suite room had a couch and an outside patio which was very nice to have as we traveled with family. I loved that the bathroom as the tub had a claw tub and the ground was heated. It is a very charming and rustic. I would definitely go back.

Fabulous!
We wanted somewhere near the
Barbican hall 10 mins walk)
We arrived to a packed pub & underwhelming checkin. But from there it was fabulous!
Room lovely. Spotlessly clean, great decor & so comfortable. Aircon a bonus at my age lol.
Wonky toilet seat part of 'quirky' ;) We ate in the pub, staff were so lovely & the food spot on. We sat in a little booth, it was cute. Wine good & all round great buzzing atmosphere.
The walk to our concert was
10 mins.
Coming back the pub was pretty much closed but the guys got us drinks to take up.
Our room was so quiet...
We didn't go for breakfast but can only imagine it wld be lovely.
A really good option in the City & one we will definitely do again.
Of course you can complain abt things however nothing spoilt our enjoyment of this stay!
(Be mindful if you have mobility issues this is an old building, narrow stairs over 3 floors)

Delightful
This is a cute boutique hotel. It's part of the pub and takes you back in time to a different era. Our room was a charming suite with a copper bath tub, a skylight in the living room, and our own private patio with a living room setup. Rooms were romantic and comfy. We'll definitely return.
Note, there are no elevators in this hotel. We were on the second floor so we only had to haul our luggage up one flight but that could've been more burdensome if we had to walk up another flight.

I'd say the reviews were a bit scrubbed or over rated. It was ok. Staff aloof. Not sure i'd stay again.

Nice set of rooms, private, well appointed, terrific shower, & great area.
Looking a bit tired (marks on carpet, sink tap handle falls off) & no breakfast Sat morning till 8.30am a bit disappointing.

Old fashioned property with modern facilities.
Carpet could have been cleaner and the sofa had stains on it.
Great location. Friendly helpful staff.
I liked the place.
I did break my toe on the bed leg but that was my fault not the hotels.

I really liked the room we were presented with, bath in the room, mini bar well stocked and above a pub, which we stayed during the week and wasn't noisy at all. Robes in room and food downstairs, nice touch. Worth the money, the check in was easy, there was mild confusion with trying to take food up to our room for my daughter who was wanting to take a bath, but other than that is was a GEM of a stay and will recommend! The tea and expresso in room were complimentary.

Lovely comfortable room with everything we needed and much nicer than staying somewhere more generic.
