Fairly basic rooms but all was clean and amenities were good in the room, plenty of tea and coffee and toiletries. Room was quite cold but there was an electric heater which could be used. Breakfast was included which was a great bonus and it was very good. Location excellent for being near Euston and King’s Cross.

The linens and pillows were high quality. The bathroom was spotlessly clean. The staff was helpful from allowing bag drop-off to preparing a sack breakfast as we had to leave before the breakfast hours.

The Harrison is a real find !

The Harrison was a real find ! The welcome was friendly, and we had a delightful young woman serve us breakfast. It was factors like comfortable bed and bedding, decent toilet paper , fairtrade teas and a book shelf on the stairs and a striking quirky mural that made it a delight to stay there. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for very competitively priced accomodation with breakfast included.

Room was nice and cozy. Place is small with only four rooms. Above a great lively pub with great food. Very quiet once the pub closed. Breakfast was cooked to order and wonderful. Would definitely stay here again.

Rooms in a local pub!

Staying above a local pub in Central London is such a fun experience. Super personable, great food, and you only need to walk downstairs to be in a neighborhood watering hole!

We enjoyed our stay. It was a great location within an easy walk of the Kings Cross/St. Pancras station, even with large travel suitcases. The room was nice, simple, clean. The breakfast and dinner were both fantastic.

Very good accommodation, on a quiet street. The room was more functional than many of the newer hotels we have stayed in. The full English served in the bar (also available in-room) was very tasty. Excellent central location for transit and train links. Staff were lovely too!

This was a surprising find. We booked it for a one night layover. It was "off the beaten path" and a bit of a hike from the train station (with luggage). Our room was clean and comfortable. The staff was extremely friendly and hospitable. Dinner and breakfast was very good. The biggest surprise was that the Harrison has an entertainment venue in the basement (comedy the evening we were there). I recommend this place.

The staff were amazing, but the hotel rooms are old with very thin walls. Large size room, but needs a refresh / modernizer. Great location near to train station and many different restaurants.

The bartenders gave recommendations for our road trip to Wales and traveling up to the Isles of Scotland - it would have been a totally different trip if we hadnt made our first stop in london the Harrison. It has been one of the greatest trips, the food was great there and the room was comfy as well. Must stay in the London area! Cant wait to go back.

The people who were running the pub and hotel were wonderful. The breakfast was in the pub in the morning, and it was delicious. The room itself is fairly small and is badly in need of an update. That being said, it was clean. The shower was like a small pod that if you were a larger person, you wouldn't be able to use. The furniture was worn. The bed was small, and I didn't like the size and thickness of the pillows. The internet wasn't working while we were there. Since it is a pub, I realized there would be noise until it closed and with no air conditioning, we had the windows open so you could hear the people outside. Also, it wasn't soundproofed from the other rooms. It was a great value for the price but don't expect a 4 star experience. Again, the staff were fantastic.
