Its a great pub
Pros:

The pub!

Cons:

The greeting from staff on arrival was unfriendly and I was quickly directed to my room. No pleasantries or sufficient information provided, for example, fire safety information, available food etc.

Not the best of stays
Pros:

Location

Cons:

We stayed in annas room on 3rd floor. Didn't like the room it was a bit small compared to other rooms we stayed in and most importantly the windows were not opening and it was very hot. Also had a weird smell inside that we couldn't get rid of because we couldn't open the windows. We stay here regularly and this room was definitely a disappointment

I love staying in gastro type pubs as a far better alternative to characterless hotel chains. Thie Red Luon is amongst t
Pros:

Lovely and authentically decorated bedroom. Great bar and fab atmosphere topped only by the outside enclosed courtyard. What a great find and barely 2 min walk to tube.

Cons:

Comfy, stress free and excellent value for money.
Pros:

Immaculately clean. Easy check in/key return. Tea/ and cold water provided. Nice TV with all channels and apps working. Comfiest bed I've probably ever slept in. Staff went out of their way to accommodate storage for our bike. We got a lucky discounted deal due to booking.com but even at full price would have been worth it. We've stayed in our fair share of budget hotels and this was only 20 -30 more per night than we'd usually pay(at full price) and totally worth it. We are fairly local and stayed here because of maintenance work in our home but I will definitely be recommending to friends and family when they visit. Many thanks 👍

Cons:

The WiFi was a bit unreliable but wasn't an issue for us as we had mobile data.
