Lovely room! Nothing but wonderful things to say about the room itself, everything was clean and comfortable, with a coffee machine and robes. The only ding is not their fault at all, but of the 5 nights I stayed, two nights I experienced crazy noise at all hours of the night, recycling trucks, construction, I don't even know but it was LOUD. The pub downstairs can also get pretty loud (the people, that is). Breakfast down there is lovely however. Overall a wonderful stay! Be sure you know that the door to the pub is NOT the same door as to the Inn, I had no idea and was in a panic when I arrived and the pub doors were shut!

Separate entrance on the side of the pub. Lift to 2nd floor to reception where we were greeting by a member of staff (all friendly) and given directions to our room which was nicely furnished with modern fittings. The bed was soft and extremely comfortable. The bathroom was well fitted out with a nice shower although the room was sorely lacking any kind of air filter which meant that any smells could tend to linger. Housekeeping was generally outstanding. The main gripe we had was with the breakfast which seemed perfunctory in its choice and poor in execution. The bacon and sausage was really poor quality and had obviously been hanging around for a while in the kitchen. The black pudding was rock hard, although the scrambled eggs were good. There was little choice otherwise. The coffee in an urn was cold and insipid. Having a mediocre extra choice of coffee cost an extra £3+ Good choice of teas. I’d suggest leaving the in-house breakfast and going to McDonalds. This is a shame as we generally enjoyed our stay. Its location is good for public transport being close to Bank, Monument and Bank tubes. It took us 30mins to travel to Trafalgar Square and 10mins to London Bridge. Would definitely return, just not for the breakfast.

Great boutique hotel which was a welcome change from the larger chain hotels in London. It is part of a group itself but is more a pub with rooms and the pub itself has lots of atmosphere. Room and shower room were modern and really well finished. Breakfast was included which was a bonus, and was really good quality. Location in the city was exceptional. We would definitely book again.
