Had an amazing stay at the Counting House. The staff were so accommodating by taking our luggage in early while we explored the city. Close to all tourist attractions. Booked a dinner for 6 in the gallery above the pub, it was perfect not to mention the prices for the food and drinks were excellent! Will definitely be back!

Clean, and centrally located for our trip. Walking to St. Paul’s or to the Tower was easy and comfortable for a 70 plus aged couple. The hotels pub for drinking and dining options were very good , along with the choice of the breakfast buffet or a menu order.

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!

Great breakfast. Spacious room. Comfortable bed. Helpful staff. 2 gripes. Unable to turn bathroom light off. Glass door to the bedroom made for a difficult night sleep. No reading lights near bed. Lamp to one side of the bed only was more style over substance.
