A perfect two-night stay for seeing a show at The National Theatre and exploring some of London's sights. Excellent breakfast and enjoyed a wonderful evening meal as well. Staff could not have been any friendlier or more accommodating.

Good high-quality room and excellent breakfast with helpful staff. But you check in and enter through a very crowded and noisy pub, nothing like a hotel experience. Once past that, the room and amenities are good, although the room and shower are both very small.

Great location. Super cool decor. Big bar downstairs but don’t let that put you off. Thought it was pricey when I booked it, but definitely worth the money. Didn’t have time for breakfast as was on business, but I’m sure that’s great as well. Head to

It is very clean, close to the tube and the trainstation and the staff is really nice. The breakfast started a little late, so unfortuantely we weren't able to enjoy that every day since we were there in business regards. But all in all a nice stay!

Lovely room. Quiet and clean. I wasn't sure with it being so close to the underground and above a bar, but we slept like rocks (room was on the 3rd floor). Lots of character - I know they updated recently and it was perfect! The only concern - no lift so if you can't maneuver steps, this is not the hotel for you!

Nice staff, very cool building. Impressed that you couldn’t hear ANY noise from the pub below! Really lovely room, but the heating system was so noisy that we had a tough time staying asleep for long. Earplugs might help that.

I'll stay here again if I need a room, this end of London. It wasn't the Ritz. And it didn't COST what the Ritz would have. It is a thoroughly modern operation in a very old building. Yes the stairs are narrow, steep... BUT... Room clean. Lovely high ceilings. Room NOT over pub. Excellent sound proofing. LOVELY friendly, competent staff. Excellent cooked breakfast part of cost of room.

Room was fine, pillows had a really bad smell. They got puffed up when not used and when you squeeze the air out is was disgusting. Also the shower temo control was broken and turned by it's Sheffield from cold to burn. Bathroom mirror light did not work.

Vi var väldigt nöjda med vår vistelse! Frukosten var fräsch, god och vi uppskattade buffen vid sidan av en valfri rätt från menyn. Rummen var små men fina och välutrustade. Trots många och högljudda pubgäster hörde vi aldrig dem från rummet om kvällarna vilket var över förväntan. Hotellets läge var perfekt för att se flera delar av London som Burough market och Tower bridge, Big Ben och slottet, Notting Hill och centrala London. Tvärs över gatan ligger dessutom en underground station.
