Stop looking and stay here!

This hotel and pub/restaurant are amazing! Everyone was kind, everything in the mini fridge in your room is included and so it an amazing breakfast in the restaurant before they open to non-hotel residents. The food was great and you get 10% off your meal any other time you visit the restaurant. I loved the history that is highlighted throughout the space. Highly reccomend!

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!

Staff was very nice and helpful. Breakfast was very good. The hotel itself has a very small elevator that doesn’t stop at every floor. And tons of stairs. Very small rooms. In the financial area so very busy during work hours and not as many food options.

Experience 2000 years of London history

After staying in Kensington, I decided to stay in the center of London, THE CITY, the Roman original. This hotel is in the heart of it all: close to the Tower, the Monument, the Bank, the Thames. It's above a gorgeous old pub (excellent breakfast included) and the room (Florin) is both spacious and quiet!

Generally a very pleasant stay

Beautiful, historic building. Reception was excellent, breakfast good, room very nice but tired in places, location great for exploring the City of London. The only negative was that housekeeping in the room was a bit hit and miss. On arrival the carpet appeared not to have been vacuumed, the safe was unusable and had to be reset by reception and one of the water glasses was removed and not replaced. But overall an enjoyable stay.
