We were a party with three rooms over several days during the heatwave. We cannot thank the C&W staff enough; they were friendly, accommodating and listened. One of our rooms had issues with the air conditioning which could not be fixed during our stay, but they pre-emptively arranged an alternate room in a sister venue. Thoughtful and friendly team and the rooms (bar the ac issue) were comfortable and larger than many in this part of London.

We had a wonderful stay at the Clerk and Well
We arrived at bit early and our room wasn't ready. So we had a drink in the bar and were then shown to our beautiful room. Our luggage was taken up for us. The room was spacious and very clean. There were complimentary snacks and water, usb sockets next to the bed on both sides, a espresso machine,

Initially we were thrilled to stay here, as the pub manager showed us to our room, carried one of our suitcases and assured us that the waters & snacks would be replenished every day. Discovered after one shower that the shower gel was empty. I emailed the establishment asking for it to be refilled, and even left the top of the bottle on the bath mat as a hint. Never received a reply to my email, and had to leave a note on the third day asking to refill the shower gel, and to leave snacks as they only replenished them on the first day. They did leave water, clean towels and made the bed everyday, but didn’t empty the full trash one day. Found Bobby pins on the floor that were not mine, so housekeeping in general was sorely lacking. The carpet on the stairs going up to the rooms was filthy, but that’s understandable as the sidewalks in that area of town are really dirty. Thankfully the a/c worked well, but other than that, we wouldn’t stay here again.

One of the best hotel stays ever in London. The room was air conditioned (I was worried because it was a pub it wouldn’t be). The pub closed at 11pm so there were no disturbances and room and bathroom was very spaces and beautifully decorated. The only reason for cleanliness I left a 4/5 is because there was someone else’s old knickers hanging on the the back of the door. I also gave 4/5 for the amenities because the body wash and body lotion had run out. Otherwise great place and we even got complimentary drinks! Thank you

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in London at the Clerk & Well. We loved the quaint little neighborhood and everything was walkable or easily accessible by the Underground. We happened to be there during the World Cuo and Tina and team made sure we had a great table and plenty of beverages to enjoy while England won! We will definitely be back!

The room was smaller, but well appointed and more than enough for two people. The room was spotlessly cleaned when we arrived and cleaned every single day that we were there. Staff were kind enough to carry our bags up the stairs. The best part is being able to step outside and you are about a 5 to 7 minute walk from Farringdon station which can get you basically anywhere in the city. And you’re right next-door to a pub with plenty of options for food and drink. The perfect spot to stay in London and half the price of a hotel. Quaint charming and just something different with great service. Highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our stay here. It is a beautiful hotel with very large room and bathroom. The staff were incredible, very friendly and accommodating. The pub underneath was fantastic. We had two of the best meals we’ve had on our trip there. Highly recommend you eat and stay there. The location is good, but it’s not in the middle of everything so you have to be OK with walking a bit to the metro. Also, there’s no elevator so if you have mobility or back issues, this may not be the best hotel for you.

Don’t be fooled. Photographer deserves a medal for making budget renovations look high end. All that new paint, yet you can feel the shape of the last guest in the old mattress. 4 floor walk up. Full inch gap under door made of paper. Bedside light switches are 10ft from the bed. And they advertised amenities they don’t have, then offer a beer to make up for your wasted half day doing laundry elsewhere.

What they’ll say: “We didn’t know it said we had laundry on Expedia!” (hotels have full control of this info, it’s their fault) “We offered a discount on next stay!” (I won’t be back) “Newly renovated!” (By someone’s uncle) “it’s only 3 flights if stairs!” (Each is 30 steps)

Only redeeming qualities are the lovely staff and the lamb pie.

This is my first review, I simply can’t let this one go, for your sake. Trust your instincts, book that other hotel. You won’t regret it.

5★ — Stayed here on a work trip and loved it. The staff were fabulous (even carried my luggage to the room), the on-site pub was a gem, and the food was spot on—proper sausages & mash with a cold cider. My room was surprisingly large for London with a UK king-size bed, and housekeeping kept it stocked with snacks and tea every day. Charming, comfortable, and genuinely welcoming.

We travel to London frequently and were excited to stay in the Farringdon area. The reviews and photos for the Clerk and Well were exceptional. The experience was something different. The location is great and the pub is a great place for a pint and a bite to eat. However the room was very small and sparce with no place to put luggage and the bathroom was extemely small, no bigger than a closet. The shower clogged and was never properly fixed so we had to limit our shower time to minutes in order to avoid overflowing. We would not stay here again and would not recommend.

Very clean and big room (we had the Deluxe Double room), Free bottled water every day was a nice touch. Shower had good water pressure. Had some concerns about being above the pub, but even when it was open until 11, the noise stopped pretty much immediately every night. Great location for food and transportation (also late night food!). Spent 4 nights here and would definitely return again.
Note: as they disclose, there is no lift. Also the bath tubs are quite high and could pose difficulties for some.

Spacious, excellent bed and aircon on what was a scorching weekend. Bathroom kitted out beautifully. Will definitely stay here again and at others in this group

I stayed with my 18 year old daughter for 4 nights at the Clerk and Well. We had a wonderful experience. The staff was so friendly! Jude gave us a great list of places to visit and everyone working in the pub was always helpful and kind. The housekeeper went above and beyond to make everything perfect. The bed was very comfortable and the fan and ac worked like a charm for a comfortable sleep. Lastly, we had a large bathroom with a shower and tub. We would definitely come back again.

Lucky find. 20minutes from Covent Garden walking. Holborn and Chancery Lane tube stations 10 minute walk. Easy check in. Spoke to friendly bar staff who immediately checked us in. Lovely, clean large room. Very comfy bed with lovely bed linen. No breakfast tea and not enough milk but we could have easily asked in the bar if we were that bothered. Unable to have a bath as the plug was stuck but very minor issue as the shower was great. Complimentary body wash and shampoo. We were too keen to explore so we didn’t have a drink or eat in the pub but you do get 10% off for being a guest. Would highly recommend. Do shop around online for room rate as some sites vary hugely. We paid £225

Luxury and convenience

Great rooms and right above a great restaurant. One of the best meals we had in London. Only spent 1 night but enjoyed our stay and the checkin was smooth and host was great. It was Easter Sunday and he was doing it all.

They do tell you that there's no elevator so if you have big bags there are steps and you could go more than 1 flight of stairs, but they will offer help if you need it.

The room was quite good—spacious, recently renewed and clean. But there are four stairs to my room (#6). It was awful getting there with luggage. The check-in process was as straightforward as the check-out. Breakfast was good, and the waitress was super supportive.

A quick and pleasant night at The Clerk & Well Pub

We had a one night stay in London before returning home. Our room was clean and very roomy. Air conditioning and a ceiling fan cooled it down nicely (an odd warm spell while we were there).
We had interaction with various members of the staff during check in, eating dinner in the pub, and check out. They were all very friendly and helpful.
We arrived before check in, stashed our bags in a storage room and headed out to see the sights. We were on the top floor of the hotel and had to climb 3 steep and tight stairs. Something to keep in mind if you plan to book here. No issues for us and they did carry up our suitcases from the storage room while we were sightseeing.
We had dinner and the included breakfast in the pub and both were delicious.
Hotel was across the street from an amazing street full of food vendors. We didn't partake because of timing but we walked through and it smelled and looked amazing!!
All in all we would highly recommend Clerk & Well Pub

Rooms are fine. However, there are A LOT of stairs and no elevator/lift. The stairs are steep. Fine for some, but not all guests. This should be disclosed. Check-in is in the bar, which was packed when we arrived.

Amazing stay

The room was on the third floor, it was large, clean and really comfort. check in and out were really fast and friendly.
one bad thing, they forgot to clean the room on our last night and we had no one to talk with at 12am to ask for new towels, besides that we were quite happy with the stay.
This hotel looks and feels according to all of the existing reviews ;)

Hello we were very happy with the cleanliness and comfort of our room. However, there were a few issues. We did not have our coffee replenished and our drinking glasses were not washed and cleaned by the cleaning staff. The safe was already locked with door open and was unusable. We could not log into Netflix and could not find any instructions in the room how to do so. Lastly, there was no one available to assist call in each of these cases. Having someone more available by phone would have been helpful.

First visit to London

The room is very nice but there is no front desk. Even though I emailed them my estimated arrival time one day before, my wife and I were still waiting for someone to open the door and checked us in more than 10 minutes on the street. We did not know how to make a phone call to the number was provided on the window right next to the door since it is our first visit to London and we did not have local phone service, either. I would recommend this place if we did not experience that. Hopefully, they can do better job for their guest.

Great location and well thought out room

We were going to the panto at the Palladium, so needed to drop our bag off prior to normal check in time, which was not a problem for them and they were very helpful. I was slightly worried about the rooms being above a pub, but the pub closed at 10.30pm on the night we were there, so we did not have to worry about any loud noise from below late at night. Room was really lovely - clean and spacious. There were a couple of extras that were great - for example a toothbrush and little toothpaste, we hadn't forgotten ours, but was a lovely gesture! Also, my husband loved having a mini bottle of milk in the mini bar for tea/coffee! Easy to get to and from Central London, we jumped on a bus right outside and then the ride took about 15/20 mins, so great location too. All in all a fantastic find.

A charming little place

I had an excellent experience a the Clerk and Well on my recent London visit. The hotel has 10 rooms above a lovely little old world London public house and restaurant. While they were buzzing with activity and atmosphere, the employees were prompt in greeting me and checking me in. I am currently recovering from an ankle injury, and the staff was very kind in helping me get my bags up the stairs to my room.

The entrance to the stairwell for the bedrooms has a separate street door, so you needn’t come through the pub when you get in. Clerkenwell is a somewhat busy thoroughfare, but the rooms building has clearly upgraded it’s insulation (this is supposedly one of the oldest public houses in London) because I did not notice any street noise at all in the room. The bedroom was beautiful decorated, as shown in the photos, without a comfortable, large bed; air-conditioning; a wall-mounted smart tv; and a mini-fridge. The windows have a sheer white blind, as well as tie-back blackout drapes if you prefer to sleep in a darker room.

The bathroom was spacious and well-appointed, particularly for a UK hotel. The fixtures have classic style to fit the hotel’s aesthetic, but the water pressure is excellent and with a precise temperature knob (I was on the third floor, so you can be sure of this).

The hotel management was very accommodating, from bringing up an ice bucket on request to allowing me to store luggage downstairs between my checkout and my train departure. On that note, the location is very good, with a short walk to transport all around central London, and a short ride from King’s Cross.

I was only there for a night, so I didn’t have a chance to try the restaurant, but the bar was a great place to drink and chat. Overall, a very positive experience. I will certainly make this a new go-to when visiting London in future!

The room was very comfortable and the location was convenient. Staying above a pub was certainly unique, but having a pub beneath the room was a nice touch. The room was quiet, even though the pub was on a busy street. There is no lift and the flight of stairs from the street to the rooms is long, with additional stairs to the upper floors, but are very doable for the average person.
