An older property , quirky clever accommodations which were nice and quiet despite being grouped with a pub . Refurbishment is probably due here and there and the bed was a little uncomfortable for the room rate when comparing to city centre prices .

The location is great, easy walkiny distance to Clapham Common station, shops, bars, restaurants etc. Unfortunately our room was very tired, not as clean as we would have liked and not good enough for the cost. It was actually very dissapointing as other aspects of our stay were good, including the staff and food.

We would definitely stay here again, when next in the area. Although we did not use the snack or mini bar, having the option to use them was a welcomed change, they were reasonably priced too
