Very clean, comfortable room with complimentary drinks. The front desk and pub staff were helpful and friendly, very accommodating. The breakfast was very good (I didn’t try the other food or alcohol as I don’t drink). Great location, walking distance to many sights, the Thames, and the underground tube. I highly recommend this hotel!

Very nice room in a great location. The old pub was stunning when decorated for christmas. The location is very central with good access to busses and subway. Nice breakfast and service too. Some issues with the elevator and lot’s of stairs so maybe not great for elderly.
