We had a great stay, the staff was amazing. Food at the pub is great. The room was very cool, it’s an old building that’s been renovated and has a great cozy vibe. Loved the family room layout. It was perfect with kids.

The Hand & Flower hotel is a fantastic place to stay! We are a family of 5 and had plenty of room staying in one of the suites. The staff is very friendly and the food was tasty. We enjoyed the complimentary English Breakfast every morning. Be aware that the hotel is very old and does not have an elevator. Everything else was wonderful!

10/10 would recommend and stay here again!

Hand & Flower was one of the best stays i've had in years! The building is beautifully updated, super close to rail and bus stops and the food/drink at the restaurant on the first floor were great! To top it off, Carlos and his team went above and beyond when our flight out was canceled last minute. 10/10 would recommend and stay here again!

It was the first time me and my family spent the night in a pub inn. Wasn't expecting how amazing it has been! Friendly staff, lovely and cosy rooms, very child friendly with boardgames in rooms, filling breakfast, easy in and out from separate inn doors. Honestly it was an amazing experience and will definitely book another stay with fuller inns :)

Great place to stay

The service was great..had a lovely breakfast and a nice comfortable sleep. It was a lovely touch with the coffee machine and mini fridge with a free beer. But please change or clean that awful chair in the room. It looks like someone has met their end on it!

The place with character. Spacious room, comfortable bed. Fridge with water and beer plus coffee maker were a positive surprise. Friendly staff. Very good breakfast included in the price. The place was shutting down for refurbishment and it seemed to need some renovation work. However, it had positive vibes, interesting interior design and was conveniently located. I will want to come back to see it after refurbishment.

OK Stay - Great location for Olympia

It was the first night the hotel and bar had reopened after a full renovation and so this review might not be exactly how the hotel would be moving forward. The twin room we had was adequate but as it fronted on to the main road it was noisy in the night, London is a busy city and being only 2 floors up wasn't ideal. There was no coat hangers or Iron in the room when we checked in but this was resolved. The bathroom is tiny but you can get yourself sorted in their OK, Nespresso machine in the room and fresh bottled water which was great. Comfy beds and secure enough. Breakfast was the stand out for me, the options and quality of the food was brilliant. The girl serving was by far and away the best member of staff we interacted with. Food in the evening wasn't amazing and service was average but they had only just reopened and it was busy so gave them the benefit of the doubt.

This stay has got to be my favorite in the last 2 years. The whole vibe is charming. The staff was very attentive, helpful and a joy to interact with. The rooms were not only clean and cozy but stylish as well. Food was amazing too! Cannot say enough good things about my stay here.

Jazz and the entire staff at Hand and Flower are the best! We felt so welcomed from the start and were sad to leave. The pub is so fun and the food is delicious and reasonably priced. We loved our included breakfast each morning and ate dinner there each night. Ryan the bartender was fantastic! The rooms are designed so cool and were spotless with comfy beds. Our entire stay was top notch I would highly recommend this hidden gem! Location is great too, very easy to access busses, and the tube for exploring London. Jazz especially is a huge asset, he is the genuine and fun hospitality you don’t find anymore. Thank you Jazz and team for the best stay! Love the Ewing family.

Charming Hotel with Top Service & Location

From start to finish, our stay was exceptional. The hotel staff went above and beyond—so friendly, thoughtful, and helpful throughout our visit. Due to unexpected train delays, we had to call ahead, and the staff kindly made arrangements to ensure we could access our room even if we arrived after hours. On our last day, we had to check out before breakfast service began, so the manager and chef generously prepared fresh fruit bowls for us the night before—such a thoughtful gesture. We also dined at the hotel restaurant, and the food was fantastic: the fish and chips were the best we had in London! The hotel itself is beautiful, with charming historic character throughout. Conveniently, there’s a bus stop right outside and a Tube station just a four-minute walk away, making it easy to get around the city. Highly recommend!

The staff were phenomenal! At the restaurant downstairs they have the best French fries ever! The location is right across from the above ground rail, a 10 minute walk to the nearest underground station and the bus stop is right across the street. The location is golden. If you're visiting London for the first time staying at the Hand and Flower will put you right where you need to be. The only downside because of the age of the building there's no elevator but the manager was super helpful and helped us get the bags to our room. Will definitely stay there again.
