An older property , quirky clever accommodations which were nice and quiet despite being grouped with a pub . Refurbishment is probably due here and there and the bed was a little uncomfortable for the room rate when comparing to city centre prices .

10/10. The staff were all outstanding and made us feel welcomed into a community ! The communication prior to our arrival was timely and very helpful . This was my family’s first trip to London and our stay was amazing . The beds were very comfortable and rooms are roomy . while thete is no elevator , easy to walk and they help you with luggage if needed. The food at the restaurant was great with good options and sensitive to allergies. The set up of the pub is very comfortable, with seating and tables to play board games. eat ,drink and be as social as one would like . On the main bus line , train only a 10 min walk , easy uber pick up , on a park and lots to do that are walkable in the community ! A hidden gem . Will be our go to spot when coming to London .

The location is great, easy walkiny distance to Clapham Common station, shops, bars, restaurants etc. Unfortunately our room was very tired, not as clean as we would have liked and not good enough for the cost. It was actually very dissapointing as other aspects of our stay were good, including the staff and food.

It’s ok

Charming and busy pub, seemingly popular. Close to Clapham high street and convenient for traveling by tube. A little underwhelmed however by the accommodation. Room could do with a proper dusting. In addition, because I didn’t book directly with them, they would charge me an exorbitant rate every half hour for a late check out. It would have been free otherwise. I can’t understand the justification of the rate. Breakfast was good with good cooked options.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Windmill. The rooms were so cute and cozy. The bed was incredible. The night manager who checked us in was extremely friendly and helpful. The pub was also excellent. We had dinner there twice because it was so good. The breakfast was not good so I don’t recommend it but everything else was great. The area is very quiet by a park and is a short walk to the tube. Definitely would stay here again!

This is an older building currently (summer 2024) undergoing renovations so the hallways are not in the best of conditions and you will see construction folks around during the day (didn't hear any noise though). That being said, the rooms and bathrooms are quite spacious (got a double) for London quarters. The shower itself was a bit small but there is a tub with shower if needed and the toiletries provided are nice (sustainable re-fill bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, and lotion). Staff are friendly and the reception desk is staffed 24/7, which was great since we arrived after midnight and got the full welcome. We had breakfast twice, once the continental and once a la cart, price was fair and continental was filling. Sadly, we did not get to enjoy the restaurant and pub in the evenings as we were out every night but they were always full upon our return. The location is great as it is literally within the park and there is a bus stop right in front or the tube is less than a 10 min walk away.

Rediscovering Clapham as former residents

We really enjoyed our stay, and we have already shared our experience with others. The room was in above average condition, and it was surprisingly quiet despite facing the restaurant/pub. The shower pressure was great. If I had to provide constructive criticism, I would recommend that the flooring and shower stall be upgraded.

Great location, awful room

Great location, comfortable beds but that's about it. Our room was very tired, not very clean and extremely dark. Mould in the bathroom, chipped furniture, dirty curtains. Very expensive for what it is. Location is excellent and it was quiet.
