Arriving is a little dodgy - we got there around noon, and had plans to meet friends. They wouldn't check us in, and told us if we got back after 11PM (when the pub closes) we would be unable to check in. They did hold our bags. This made us have to burn some time until 3PM when they could check us in, so we would have a key to re-enter later. Not super convenient. The room was 4 flights up, no lift, no offer to help with luggage, so if you are not pretty fit, look elsewhere. The stair was really narrow and uneven, with grimy carpets. The room itself at least had good air conditioning. The bed was very, very soft, not ideal. Not a large room, and the desk was completely covered with the minibar snacks, etc... so not a great place if you have any work to do. The bathroom was large enough, but not level, and the shower had a broken handle and water leaked out of the corner of the enclosure all over the floor. The area is good for transportation - right by Barbican Victoria line and Ferringdon Station for easy connection to Heathrow and Luton and elsewhere. Probably wouldn't stay again, especially at the rate we paid.

The system to check-in was down for hours resulting in delayed check-in. There is no proper hotel desk for check-in, You have to to go the bar counter which is overcrowded and the staff at the bar is not even interested to listen.

The room was small but very charming. We only stayed one night, so it worked for us; however, if we had been staying longer, it would have been tight or cluttered with our suitcases and surface area to put your daily items, like a crossbody, wallet, etc. The bathroom was a good size as well. We were on the top floor, so getting luggage up and down really sucked. Even though I knew in advance the staircase could be an issue, it was still a shock to go up four floors with full-sized luggage! Oops! We got there early, and at any hotel, an early check-in is always a gamble, but I was a little surprised that they were so strict about the 3:00 pm check-in. Usually, if a room is ready early, you can access it sooner. Not a huge deal for us as we went straight into sightseeing, but if you are hoping to get in early, it is likely not possible. The staff were friendly and accommodating in holding our luggage in a locked area. We had a plumbing issue, and they resolved it right away, even though it was late at night. The pub was close to multiple subway stations, which was great. We unfortunately didn't eat or drink at the pub so can't speak to that.

Overall this was a nice boutique hotel. The rooms have a lot of character and a vintage feel, in a cool way. The room was clean, spacious, and had all the amenities you could need. In a great area of London, lots of shops, pubs, restaurants, and public transit.
The reason I give 4 stars is bc the check-in process is not quite 4star and the bathroom sink didn’t drain well.

Fabulous!

We wanted somewhere near the
Barbican hall 10 mins walk)
We arrived to a packed pub & underwhelming checkin. But from there it was fabulous!
Room lovely. Spotlessly clean, great decor & so comfortable. Aircon a bonus at my age lol.
Wonky toilet seat part of 'quirky' ;) We ate in the pub, staff were so lovely & the food spot on. We sat in a little booth, it was cute. Wine good & all round great buzzing atmosphere.
The walk to our concert was
10 mins.
Coming back the pub was pretty much closed but the guys got us drinks to take up.
Our room was so quiet...
We didn't go for breakfast but can only imagine it wld be lovely.
A really good option in the City & one we will definitely do again.
Of course you can complain abt things however nothing spoilt our enjoyment of this stay!
(Be mindful if you have mobility issues this is an old building, narrow stairs over 3 floors)

Delightful

This is a cute boutique hotel. It's part of the pub and takes you back in time to a different era. Our room was a charming suite with a copper bath tub, a skylight in the living room, and our own private patio with a living room setup. Rooms were romantic and comfy. We'll definitely return.

Note, there are no elevators in this hotel. We were on the second floor so we only had to haul our luggage up one flight but that could've been more burdensome if we had to walk up another flight.

I really liked the room we were presented with, bath in the room, mini bar well stocked and above a pub, which we stayed during the week and wasn't noisy at all. Robes in room and food downstairs, nice touch. Worth the money, the check in was easy, there was mild confusion with trying to take food up to our room for my daughter who was wanting to take a bath, but other than that is was a GEM of a stay and will recommend! The tea and expresso in room were complimentary.

Great location, great staff

Friendly and easy-going staff. I was able to leave my bag for a time because the room wasn’t ready and I had to be out at a workshop. Everyone I encountered was pleasant and responsive. My room was large—the bathroom enormous, with a modern shower and a lovely old claw foot tub. It was a walk-up to the room (not a problem for me but others may want to know) and there was a step in the bathroom as well. Location was terrific: close to two different Tube stops, walking distance to a number of cafes and shops, decent pub just downstairs, and a street of food stalls during lunchtime close-by. I love being in the old City of London. My only critique: the WiFi wasn’t as reliable as I would have liked. I had to set up an account on the network because the secure connection wasn’t working or didn’t reach my room. Also, it can be a bit loud until the pub closes at 11:00 if you are in the front room near the street.

Good London Stay

Lovely and big room, lots of nice product to use and plenty of towels. The curtains were a bit damaged making it difficult to close them, including a broken skylight blind otherwise apart from the bed being a bit hard it was a good quality room and an enjoyable stay. I particularly liked that the rooms were separated from the pub so you didn't have to go through the bar to your room.

Overnight at the Pub

It's fun staying at a pub. Fox & Anchor has done a really great job on the rooms, pretty bathrooms. Problem was the cigarette smoke wafting in from the sidewalk smokers 2 floors below. Even seeping through closed windows. And very noisy, with 24 hour construction happening in the area. Ask for alternative wifi if Guest Wifi doesn't reach your room.

Disappointing

The shower leaked all over the floor and hand towels were needed to stem the flow going into the bedroom, the toilet wasn’t clean and had stains and hairs on which were not from me. Breakfast and staff we’re very good but what you see in the hotel details are not quite lived up to within the room. For 2 nights it was expensive compared to others that were available and the little extra niche things that are shown with the decor and bath etc are not in all rooms. I had the decor but no batch and as stated the shower was a complete let down.

Great location and place to stay. My only quibble is the shower was not warm enough (i.e. luke warm) and the eggs and toast for breakfast were cold. If you cannot cope with stairs watch out. I was on the third floor.

Lovely pub stay in central London

Fox & Anchor is a lovely pub conveniently located in central London -- yet the rooms are still very quiet. The rooms are stylishly decorated with modern details and the giant copper tub makes a hot bath a great treat to unwind after a busy day sight-seeing. Rooms are comfortable and reasonably priced.Wifi is strong and so is the water pressure with plenty of hot water. It's a 5-minute walk from the Tube but on a fairly quiet dead-end street.
A couple things to note: the rooms are up one or two flights of somewhat narrow stairs and there is no lift -- keep it in mind if mobility is a concern. Also, I arrived late my first night after coming into Heathrow at 9pm and the pub was closing in about 20 minutes (at 11pm) after my arrival. Since check-in happens at the pub, if you get there after 11pm you may miss your opportunity to check in at all.
If those two points aren't a concern for you, I can definitely recommend this as a great place to stay!

Unique Hotel over a Classic English Pub

Unique hotel in a well situated area. We were attracted to this property because of it being situated over a classic London pub in a good neighborhood. We were not disappointed in this, the pub was very cool and classic and the location very convenient. We had several meals (and beers) here. The room was well appointed in a classic English decor and we looked onto the street through classic bay window with diamond grid pattern that I’m sure is original. A word of caution though, it is across the street from two very popular night spots. The festivities go well into the evening and while it didn’t bother us, others might find it annoying. The bed was just OK in terms of comfort and the provided pillows were awful. Finally, be aware that access to the rooms is via a narrow, steep staircase.

As loud as a factory floor, all night long.

I wanted to love this hotel. It's so cool looking. Great pub downstairs, etc. The thing that kills it is the noise. It's across the street from a market that has all night activities and deliveries. The beeping of trucks backing up is incessant, supplemented but the noise of things being dumped. (The pub itself gets kegs of beer slammed onto the sidewalk at 6:00 AM.) It was so noisy in the main room that I had to make a nest on the floor of a little space by the bathroom, just to get one more door between me and outside. The staff is super nice, but the noise makes the place untenable as a hotel.

We had the ‘Smithfield’ room which was at the top and the front of the pub, so it was a little noisy from revellers in the street below and the market opening up in the morning.
