An old fashioned pub with a few rooms upstairs. Facilities old but adequate and the only problem was the very hot weather and only a small fan. Friendly staff.

There was a mess up when I got there as the room I booked was already booked for someone else. Lucky a double was free so Alex let me have that one. The room was ok but there were still people in the bar until 1.30 who were still talking.Also I had to close the window on a warm night because of noise from the houseing block at the back.

Great stay for the price & owner Alex was very accommodating during my entire stay!

Was a tad sad about technical difficulties while attempting to use WiFi (& I did let Alex know this too & he attempted to correct issue, to no avail) & inability to access thermostat (building's historic with no built-in temperature unit),

I'd DEFINITELY still recommend it, as it's very comparable for the price!

A little gem, steeped in history… the staff are amazing , friendly and welcoming … thanks to Alex and Saffy for looking after us… basic room but had what was needed… close to the train station, quick and easy travel into Euston. If you do visit , go and speak to jack who will tell you the history of the area and how’s it’s changed through the years.

Good value, great location

This hotel was perfect for a one night stay while going to the 02.

It is in a brilliant location with good public transport links, and the pub below is very good, with a nice selection of drinks.

Staff were very friendly, made me feel welcome and explained everything I needed to know.

My room was decent, clean, with a fridge which was a real bonus during the heatwave. The bed was very comfortable and a fan was provided.

Couple of points to note is that towels are not provided, and the shared bathroom, although clean, could do with updating, but the shower worked ok, so I had no complaints on a short trip.

The road that my room overlooked, although residential, is also on a bus route so was quite noisy from traffic, but I quite liked that as a novelty, however that may be an issue for lighter sleepers. Other rooms may overlook more quieter areas.

Overall, there are far more positives than negatives about this hotel, and if anyone has reasonable expectations, bearing in mind it is rooms above a pub, then they will undoubtedly agree that the hotel provides a comfortable, convenient stay for a fair price.

I would definitely stay again when going to the 02.

Was not as expected

There is no hotel reception and even though we confirmed our time of arrival, nobody was there to greet us; had to wait 1 hour for someone, to discover that our room hasn't been cleaned. Had to wait another hour. Room itself was \"kind of clean\", but the bathroom needs a good cleanup, especially the shower. The pub downstairs can be quite loud, and also the terrace located in the back, just below our room window (...). Our room was above the kitchen, so it smelled frying food/fries all the time. In 4 days, no one came to clean the room or change the towels, or contacted us if we needed something (again, there is no reception). Based my choice on the comments left, but in the end, it was disappointing overall.

Room Updates

The property itself was good however the room was indeed of repair and redecoration to bring it up to modern standards. Parts of the room needs re plastering the bathroom especially. Whilst functional the shower cubicle needs updating and the shower itself was poor and needs replacement.

Perfect for our Trip!

The hotel was exactly what we needed exactly where we needed it! We were there for Comic-Con and it’s a great location for the Excel Centre (a three minute walk from the station) - it was very clean and had a straightforward check in and check out process. The door to the bathroom was a little stiff and was therefore quite loud but that didn’t bother us! We had a fridge, microwave, kettle and cutlery in our room and there is a Tesco express 2 minutes away, which was really handy!

The staff was very friendly and tended to my needs well, offering exceptional service. The food is also very good. One thing I does bother me a bit is that it would sometimes get kind of noisy outside at night and the window didn't block much of it. But other than that, great service with a dedicated staff.

I really enjoyed my stay, it was easy to find and the hosts were lovely. The room was clean and had everything I needed - I loved having a microwave and a fridge! The bed was really comfy and it was peaceful at night. The room was in need of a bit of TLC (some fresh paint on the walls) but it was clean and I was comfortable enough. I had dinner in the pub one night which was really nice. The pub is lovely has a nice wee beer garden. I would recommend this as a place to stay, especially if you want to be close to Canary Wharf but not in it!

Old historic pub stay

Old historic pub so room was a bit old and bed squeaked when you sat on it or moved, It had a shared bathroom with shower and toilet and was a bit old but functional. The room had a microwave, kettle,a fridge, a sink and some cutlery and plates and dishwashing liquid provided and a couple of teabags and instant coffee sachets. It was in a quiet neighbourhood and close to bus and train.

Had a really nice welcome when i arrived. Room was of a good standard and reasonably priced for London Marathon compared to some places. Overall a comfortable stay. The only downside was that there was quite a lot of noise and the doors opening and closing were quite loud through the night. But it is London afterall i guess.

Great location for an overnight stay after attending an event. Very easy check in and check out process with a very helpful host. Rooms were clean and tidy and the kitchenette was equipped adequately for a short stay.
Rooms could do with a bit of a freshen up due to wear and tear but this would not affect us staying here again.

Not ideal if you want a shower

Stayed before, it is basic and accordingly cheap, and the pub downstairs is nice enough. Unfortunately on this occasion there were no towels provided in my room, which I didn't realise until I got back from dinner (I went out because the pub kitchen was closed), and the bathroom facilities, which were positively falling apart last time I stayed, hadn't really been maintained at all.
