Excellent stay. Could not fault this. Staff were excellent particularly when we left our keys in the room one night l. The room we had , no 4, was lovely. Spacious, excellent bed and aircon on what was a scorching weekend. Bathroom kitted out beautifully. Will definitely stay here again and at others in this group

Luxury and convenience

Great rooms and right above a great restaurant. One of the best meals we had in London. Only spent 1 night but enjoyed our stay and the checkin was smooth and host was great. It was Easter Sunday and he was doing it all. They do tell you that there's no elevator so if you have big bags there are steps and you could go more than 1 flight of stairs, but they will offer help if you need it.

The room was quite good—spacious, recently renewed and clean. But there are four stairs to my room (#6). It was awful getting there with luggage. The check-in process was as straightforward as the check-out. Breakfast was good, and the waitress was super supportive.

Lucky find. 20minutes from Covent Garden walking. Holborn and Chancery Lane tube stations 10 minute walk. Easy check in. Spoke to friendly bar staff who immediately checked us in. Lovely, clean large room. Very comfy bed with lovely bed linen. No breakfast tea and not enough milk but we could have easily asked in the bar if we were that bothered. Unable to have a bath as the plug was stuck but very minor issue as the shower was great. Complimentary body wash and shampoo. We were too keen to explore so we didn’t have a drink or eat in the pub but you do get 10% off for being a guest. Would highly recommend. Do shop around online for room rate as some sites vary hugely. We paid £225

Rooms are fine. However, there are A LOT of stairs and no elevator/lift. The stairs are steep. Fine for some, but not all guests. This should be disclosed. Check-in is in the bar, which was packed when we arrived.

A quick and pleasant night at The Clerk & Well Pub

We had a one night stay in London before returning home. Our room was clean and very roomy. Air conditioning and a ceiling fan cooled it down nicely (an odd warm spell while we were there). We had interaction with various members of the staff during check in, eating dinner in the pub, and check out. They were all very friendly and helpful. We arrived before check in, stashed our bags in a storage room and headed out to see the sights. We were on the top floor of the hotel and had to climb 3 steep and tight stairs. Something to keep in mind if you plan to book here. No issues for us and they did carry up our suitcases from the storage room while we were sightseeing. We had dinner and the included breakfast in the pub and both were delicious. Hotel was across the street from an amazing street full of food vendors. We didn't partake because of timing but we walked through and it smelled and looked amazing!! All in all we would highly recommend Clerk & Well Pub

Flott opphold på supertrivelig sted. De ansatte var hyggelige og hjelpsomme. Trappene opp til rommet var ujevne, bratte og veldig krevende, neste gang vil jeg be om rom lenger ned i etasjene.

For a London central hotel this was amazing value, with gorgeous spacious rooms. Still what you expect with stairs/no lift etc being central London, but by far the nicest ive stayed in in the affordable price range!
