A great find and great hotel. Only 20 minute walk from Royal Featival Hall. So if you want a hotel not in a tourist area and do not mind a nice stroll then this is the place to go. Will definitely stay here again when next in London.

Great location and brilliant pub with a range of drinks and excellent pizza. The staff were also helpful and accommodating. The room was very hot and stuffy and needs a bit of a refresh - especially the bathroom.

The hotel is situated in a great location - close to all the main attractions, but in a much quieter area, so away from the crowds. It was great to stay above an authentic English local pub. The staff at the pub were very nice and a special shout out to Ray who went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. The pub food was very good and the pints of beer were poured to perfection!

Very comfy bed and pillows! Even though its above a pub that was very popular with locals it wasn't noisy. We stayed during heat wave and even though it was warm the big open windows and fan kept us cool. We stayed 4 nights. Also recommend the pizza!!
