Guest Reviews
Staff were excellent, efficient
Ideally, would have preferred a room with a shower rather than a bath with hand held shower attachment
L'ambiance générale de l'hôtel et la gentillesse du personnel.
Le chat !!!
C'est un vieil hôtel donc tout est plutôt bruyant
Lovely room (upgraded somewhat as we required a walk in shower).
Staff were excellent, accommodating, friendly & easy to deal with.
Hotel is immaculate & has loads of character.
Nothing in particular.
非常棒的酒店，每一个房间都有它的神奇之处并且十分舒适，员工热情友好帮了我很多，更爱酒店中的小猫
Very nicely decorated. Lovely hotel. Comfortable bed
A great place to stay. The staff was very professional and polite. The room was very clean and functional. And the location made it easy to see the sites.
Being from a very warm climate, we had issues getting the room to a suitable temperature.
Charming boutique hotel respectful of its heritage. Well located for the Barbican and St. Paul’s Cathedral. Comfortable sitting rooms with well stocked honesty bar.
Nothing!
J’ai apprécié absolument tout dans cet hôtel : son emplacement, à un arrêt de la gare Saint Pancras et au centre du vieux Londres, son personnel si aimable et serviable, ma chambre (Thomas Percy) était très grande et répondait à mes attentes (voire au-delà de mes attentes) tout comme le petit déjeuner.
Je suis partie en voyage solo à Londres en séjournant dans cet hôtel et tout était parfait. C’est une expérience que je recommanderai à tous (et que je compte refaire) !
Rien.
The hotel is stunning, in particular the communal areas. The bedrooms are reasonable with bathrooms that are lovely. Staff are friendly and inviting and could not do enough for us (including carrying bags up three flights of stairs on arrival) all staff members greeted guests with a smile and a “good morning/evening” if seeing you.
The age of the building means that there is little the company can do to alter certain aspects so be prepared for some quirks (including stairs to all floors, narrow doorways etc) although having air conditioning in the room was much appreciated. There are many places nearby offering breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner and the hotel is around 5 minutes slow walking from Farringdon station. The amenities in the bathroom were fantastic. The honesty bars are a nice touch, though some greater variety of brands would increase the appeal. The mini-bar in the room looked well stocked though typically pricey for a hotel. With a convenience store less than 2 minutes walk away, there was no need to rely on the mini bar.
Connections via bus, train or tube are all within minutes and the local sights all within easy reach of the hotel.
The hotel is in a busy area with (at the time of writing) lots of construction work going on and a nearby traders market which operates all night. As the glazing is not particularly soundproof the sound of trucks, reversing alarms, heavy loading and unloading of goods can be heard throughout the night and the builders get started just as the market is slowing down, getting a restful night isn’t easy. It’s also possible to hear the other guests having a shower or a noisy visit to the loo in the early hours so if you’re the type to prefer a lie in, I would suggest finding a modernised hotel.
The light from the hallway was so bright it shone underneath the bedroom door all night and the wooden shutters over the windows (while charming) do very little to prevent light screaming in from 5am. If you need a dark room or are a light sleeper, be aware of these things before booking.
We should have better appreciated the proximity of the hotel to the market though there is little the hotel can do about the noise of course - the place has been there since the 17th century! The bed while very comfortable was too small for two of us, the pillows were softer than a cloud so with our personal preference for hard pillows, the noise of the market and builders directly opposite we barely slept on any of the 3 nights we stayed despite being exhausted from sightseeing.
These are not “bad” things, just things to be aware of, this is a business which is providing a 21st century service in a 17th century setting and doing a good job of it. Like everywhere it’s not perfect so don’t expect that and you will not go wrong if you stay here.
Absolutely beautiful period property and decor totally aligned with the history. Beautiful lounge with honesty bag. Breakfast delivered in the room. Lovely welcoming staff- perfect place to stay when I ran the London marathon
