Decadence in the heart of the City

A lovely pub/hotel in the heart of the City. Unbelievably good value.
JAMES, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stop looking and stay here!

This hotel and pub/restaurant are amazing! Everyone was kind, everything in the mini fridge in your room is included and so it an amazing breakfast in the restaurant before they open to non-hotel residents. The food was great and you get 10% off your meal any other time you visit the restaurant. I loved the history that is highlighted throughout the space. Highly reccomend!
Arianna, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very comfortable bed, but the road outside was really busy and noisy( which can’t be helped in London)pub is excellent with a good variety on the main menu. The choice at breakfast is outstanding and the service was great

Brilliant find

Room was clean , bed comfortable with lovely touches like complimentary cold drinks , water and tea and coffee. Free breakfast was amazing would definitely book again. Location was central and only a very short walk to the underground.
Lisa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Generally a very pleasant stay

Beautiful, historic building. Reception was excellent, breakfast good, room very nice but tired in places, location great for exploring the City of London. The only negative was that housekeeping in the room was a bit hit and miss. On arrival the carpet appeared not to have been vacuumed, the safe was unusable and had to be reset by reception and one of the water glasses was removed and not replaced. But overall an enjoyable stay.

Experience 2000 years of London history

After staying in Kensington, I decided to stay in the center of London, THE CITY, the Roman original. This hotel is in the heart of it all: close to the Tower, the Monument, the Bank, the Thames. It's above a gorgeous old pub (excellent breakfast included) and the room (Florin) is both spacious and quiet!
Janine, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful view with robes and nice coffee station. Way more roomy than expected. High end toiletries and bedding and very comfortable beds. Super close to tourist destinations and/or public transport. Staff very accommodating for my spouses severe allergy. We really enjoyed our stay.

Nice property. No complaints. The only issue for me was the coffee at breakfast… not good and the coffee made from the machine at breakfast was extra.
