Great vibe! Friendly staff, AND guests! Rooms were lovely, slept like a log, breakfast delicious. Didn't try the cosy looking honesty bars, but nice to know they were there - next time... slight issue with bathroom, in that characterful roll top bath and old shower fitting but no shower curtain. Tricky... But had already had a lovely stay, and will be back, so not a biggie, atmosphere more than made up for it.

I had the best stay here of any hotel I’ve stayed in ever.
Friendly welcoming so comfortable and actually really good value for a city centre hotel. Although right near Farringdon station as soon as you walk in it’s so quiet and peaceful.
Room service outstanding value and really good food. Couple lovely lounges with bars.
To note there is no on site restaurant but room service (which they will also deliver to lounge/courtyard) is really good and excellent value.
There is also no typical kettle/coffee making in room BUT the room service for coffee was super quick and really good coffee and also good value.
Generous selection in mini bars.
I would not hesitate to return just to stay at the hotel.

This is the first time I’ve written a review before I’ve left a hotel. What a wonderful place. Extremely warm and friendly staff and the decor is stunning. Amazing location and only a short walk to St. Paul’s. Such a lovely place of calm and relaxation with lovely public spaces and a gorgeous hotel cat. Looking forward to the rest of my stay.

A stunning hotel with incredible old English style that really immerses you in the vibe of London. We had the Bridget Burke suite (no bath). Rooms were clean and beautifully decorated, appointed with all the modern amenities, and the common spaces offered great places to work or read amongst art and cozy antique decor. My husband was worried it may be too old, but everything in the room was spotless and functioned perfectly so he was pleasantly surprised with how comfortable everything was. Bedding was super comfy! I loved getting breakfast delivered to our room every morning, so much so, we opted for this every morning instead of going out! There’s a great bakery / cafe downstairs too, and some great pubs and Italian restaurants nearby.

The only downside for us was the location, with lots of street noise in the early morning each night of our stay, arguments and loud music from 4am to sunrise due to the clubs & liquor store downstairs. A real shame because every other element of this hotel is so thoughtful and wonderfully serviced by the friendly staff.
