Very well appointed room, nicely decorated, high ceilings, and wonderful air conditioning which was appreciated during a heat wave. Spacious bathroom, blackout window coverings, and even ear plugs if you are sensitive to street noise. Complementary snacks, tea, coffee and water. Special thanks to Tina for making it a great stay. We highly recommend the Clerk and Well.

Clean room and bathroom. A little old style but expected with the pictures. Just too hot at night and could not keep the widows open at night due to the street noise . Widows closed no noise and no noise from the pub on the 3rd floor. The fan did not help much and it was outside only 70/75 degrees Fahrenheit. With an AC our stay would have been great.Comfortable bed. Did have a fridge with water in. Did not eat breakfast there. Good location and staff were nice but we did not interact with them after check in.

Very interesting staying above the pub. It's more of a restaurant so it wasn't noisy. Food was excellent!! Staff is very accommodating. Room was spacious and clean. The one area where there is a chair and small side table was very dark at night. Needs a floor lamp. Bathroom is very big and looked newly remodeled. The tub/shower is difficult to get in and out of due to the height of the tub. Maybe a handle of some type. The stairs are narrow and spiral and the stairs leading to the door out to the street are steep. Just advice for older travelers. The location is great, only a few minutes walk to the Farringdon transit station which services trains and the tube. there are also other local places right there to eat should you choose. All in all it was a very good experience!

We were a party with three rooms over several days during the heatwave. We cannot thank the C&W staff enough; they were friendly, accommodating and listened. One of our rooms had issues with the air conditioning which could not be fixed during our stay, but they pre-emptively arranged an alternate room in a sister venue. Thoughtful and friendly team and the rooms (bar the ac issue) were comfortable and larger than many in this part of London.

One of the best hotel stays ever in London. The room was air conditioned (I was worried because it was a pub it wouldn’t be). The pub closed at 11pm so there were no disturbances and room and bathroom was very spaces and beautifully decorated. The only reason for cleanliness I left a 4/5 is because there was someone else’s old knickers hanging on the the back of the door. I also gave 4/5 for the amenities because the body wash and body lotion had run out. Otherwise great place and we even got complimentary drinks! Thank you

We really enjoyed our stay at the Pub and Rooms. The room was spacious and very comfortable. We also appreciated the complimentary first drink at the pub. We had originally planned to go to a nearby restaurant, but in the end we decided to have dinner at the pub instead. The dining experience was very memorable as well. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
