Good value room for a one night stay in London. Lovely room. Friendly welcome.
Pros:

The person who greeted me was exceptionally friendly and very attentive. The room had a bath which was a lovely surprise, and the bathroom was large. Cosy room with stylish decor and furnishings.

Cons:

Lots of stairs up to the room.

Lovely rooms with good facilities above a nice pub with good food.
Pros:

Decent sized rooms with excellent shower-rooms above a nice pub. Nice touches like real milk in the fridge and a coffee machine in the room, and reduced price dinners if you're staying there. And the food is consistently good!

Really loved it, but with a few tweaks it could be a sensational stay.
Pros:

Great location, friendly staff, fantastic food. Clean room, well appointed and in good condition. The pub and the 30% food discount was a real winner.

Cons:

Room was smaller than anticipated, a/c was loud but very efficient, lighting was poor, TV was great but needs to be higher on the wall please to be able to watch from the bed, no place for suitcases to be opened so needs a shelf/table, as a walk up some assistance would be wonderful such as a butlers elevator or something.

Cons:

1) Steep stairs, no lift in hotel, difficult to carry many/heavy luggage up and down the stairs, this can be a huge problem for guests on higher floors, we were on the 1st floor and the stairs were hectic. 2) we were not provided with WiFi password (not huge issue). 3) the surrounding area was very noisy at night, incessant ambulance and police sirens , difficult to sleep with the noise levels coming from main road.
