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!

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.

Fantastic stay
This was a fantastic hotel, very nice. We only stayed the one night, The location is convenient to go explore, with the shard only 10mins and St Paul’s 6 mins. The service and staff was just fantastic.
The room was amazing and very clean. The breakfast was fabulous with a good range to pick from.
Overall 10/10 from us.

Our room at the hotel was fantastic. We loved the decor and how spacious the room was. All the staff we met were very friendly and welcoming. We had dinner in the pub downstairs which was really nice and the breakfast had a great selection to choose from. We will definitely stay here again when visiting London.

We Would Stay Again
We loved the history and how the hotel was modernized in a way that valued and maintained its history. The morning breakfast was always a nice way to start our day and sustain us until a late lunch/early dinner. The two women we interacted with at reception were always friendly and accommodating, as was the housekeeping crew. There isn’t a lot of touristy things to do, as it is in the old banking district. We were there for 2 weekends, and there wasn’t much open. However, we enjoyed the quieter setting, and there were tube stations within a 3-9 min walk.

Not a typical hotel in a great way with very comfortable rooms with character. Bed was very comfortable and room was exceptionally clean. The breakfast was delicious with lots of choices to suit varied diets. Really nice staff. Location was excellent. Easy access to a few tube stations. Nice safe neighborhood.
