Staff were very polite and helpful. The room wasn’t the most salubrious but I kind of liked it that way. I like that the windows can open up and get fresh air.

A hidden gem of a hotel

Fabulous rooms over a really nice but nice but rowdy pub conveniently located in South London near south bank. Provided a fridge with oat milk and Nespresso machine. Also 10% off drinks at bar.

Lovely Room

The location was ideal for our trip to the theatre. The room was lovely and clean upon arrival and the lady that checked us in was very friendly. The room was a bit warm but there were fans provided to cool it down and cold drinks available in an upstairs fridge. As well as plenty of team and coffee
Jonathan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff great, location great. Room needs some tweaks, mattress edges sloping. Could not get comfy. Need firm pillow to go with soft pillows, bedroom curtain could not be pulled up. Bathroom mirror light not working
Vanessa, 1-night trip

Great staff and friendly welcome. Good value

Nice pub with rooms, very friendly and attentive staff. Food was good, not far from Waterloo. Good value. It did get warm even with the Aircon.
Alastair, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a lovely stay. Rooms are really nice.Not many friills - apart from the coffee maker and milk frother - but perfectly suited for a short stay..bus stop opposite and a ten minute ride to Trafalgar Square means you can be right in the centre of London in no time, and the South Bank. Would thoroughly recommend. No breakfast option but just next to it is Kennington Coffee shop which is charming and perfect.
Mark, 1-night trip

Excellent value for money . My room was 1st rate. Very nice staff on hand to greet me. Definitely staying again.
Paul, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good size room with useful albeit small fridge. Despite reporting it, the internet did not work. The hotel (rooms above a pub) were not close to a tube station but there are nearby shops and restaurants.
