Guest Reviews

• Alistair (6/5): Very pleasant but sort bathroom leaks as damp smell in the corridor very strong - Staff were very nice and professional. Extremely helpful. The bed was very comfortable. It was pretty quiet even though I was on the ground floor and the bed linen was a good quality cotton. The shower enclosure tiling had failed and the shower water was escaping behind the shower wall. This damp was affecting the floor finishes and creeping up the door frame. There was a very strong smell of damp as you approach rooms 7 to 14 and it would seem similar problems are being felt in the other rooms on this corridor. It should be a quick fix to secure the loose shower enclosure tile to allow the subfloor and wood frames to dry out and reduce the smell. The extractor was also not operating. Struggled with the Sky TV that worked intermittently in my room.
• Bettina (8/5): -
• Helen (9/5): Very relaxing and comfortable - Location was great! The bar and restaurant was very good. Service was very good. Bedrooms need some TLC. Carpets are well worn and curtains need repair. Otherwise very comfortable and well serviced
• Stranex (10/5): -
• Robin (3/5): Rooms smelt. Wouldn’t stay again - Good location Rooms smelt of damp.
• Anthony (9/5): -
• Carlo (8/5): - Sono rimasto solamente una notte. Bella camera spaziosa con tutti i comfort, letto comodo, frigo bar caro. Buona colazione. Faceva piuttosto freddo in bagno, non si riesce ad accendere il termosifone elettrico presente. Molto scomode le 4 rampe di scale ripide per raggiungere la camera con una valigia pesante.
• Sonya (7/5): -
• Alice (10/5): Quiet, central, comfy - Perfect location, on the green and really quiet room Staff accommodating with luggage storage and even let me check in a little early as my room was ready. Didn’t book breakfast but ended up having it. Was amazing, and very reasonable considering all that was included in the price. Definitely would recommend !
• Stuart (9/5): -

• Karina Meddens (10/5): Voy a repetir !!! - La gente del hotel es muy amable, el servicio muy bueno Es muy silencioso los dias entre semana, pero si es un fin de semana habra algo de ruido pero nada del otro mundo
• ruth (8/5): Lovely way to spend a bank holiday weekend. - Quirkiness and comfortable bed. Location excellent for Clapham old town. Scruffy carpets throughout and the area outside the French doors could do with a power wash.
• Karen (7/5): -
• Tony (10/5): Gem on the Common . - 5th time staying here . Its location is great for getting around London . The rooms are comfy , clean and beds are made daily . Breakfasts are lovely as is the food in the restaurant . The Windmill has such a friendly atmosphere and if you love dogs you will be in your element as many people call in for a drink whilst walking their dogs . Parking is a bonus as we always drive down and leave the car . Not much to dislike as we’ve stayed often and will be back.
• Zach (8/5): - Perfect location in a lovely pub
• Carina (9/5): Bekvämt boende på populär pub som rekommenderas - Charmig och bekväm pub intill Clapham Common. Trevligt rum med vacker inredning och skön säng! Mysigt frukostrum med prisvärd frukost (för att vara i London). Och trots att det var mycket folk på puben varje kväll hördes ingenting på vårt rum. Den enda nackdelen att vi upptäckte att det var ganska lyhört när några flyttade in i rummet bredvid den sista kvällen.
• Barbara (10/5): Well done to all staff concerned. I will definitely be back again in the very near future. - Very warm welcome on arrival with a very helpful receptionist, Lovely historic pub in a great setting with character and quirky decor touches. Well stocked hospitality tray. Clean room with very comfy bed , pillows and good bed linen. Good quality toiletries in the bathroom. Had a wonderful lunch with 5 friends and a superbly cooked evening meal with another friend. Service by an experienced Waitress called Lisa who was very professional, efficient and exceptionally personable. One of the best cooked breakfasts I've ever had in a hotel with first class produce. Nothing negative to say.
• Angelidis (9/5): Great time will visit again! - Need to improve the WiFi
• elspeth (8/5): - Could have been a bit more attention to detail. Curtains hanging off rails. Apart from that good stay
• Gwynn (7/5): -
• Jenni (8/5): Old hotel and over furnished - Good location Room felt cluttered
• Antonella (10/5): Perfect stay - Posizione arredamento accoglienza atmosfera
• Maud (10/5): Gezellig hotel op mooie lokatie bij park - Kamer was sfeervol en van alle gemakken voorzien. Prettig om de auto op het terrein te parkeren. Ligging uitstekend t.o.v. openbaar vervoer. The pub was gezellig en had een goede menukaart. Aardig personeel. Kamers aan achterkant zijn stil. Kamers voorkant horen het terras van de pub. Deze gaat om 23 uur dicht.
• Creighton (9/5): -
• Mike (10/5): We will be back! - It was very reasonably priced, great location, fun bar, great breakfast, comfy rooms. Dinner menu isn’t very good.
• Rowland (9/5): -
• Eleanor (9/5): Great historic inn in front of Clapham Common. - The location and the warmth and kindness of the staff at reception. Rose in particular was really helpful and graceful with us. Shower was excellent. Coffee delicious. Room quiet. Perhaps the room could do with a refit. The carpet was old and stained. The fridge was so full of drinks, you could not put anything in it.
• Nathan (10/5): -
• Gemma (10/5): Lovely cosy room in a great location - Lovely, clean and cosy rooms. Loved that it was inside a pub, which was handy for grabbing food/a drink but also so so quiet in the room that you wouldn't even know it was a pub. The location was great too
• Peter (10/5): -
• Edel (10/5): -
• Dann (10/5): -

• Tom (8/5): - Room was very clean and comfy Nothign
• Stephen (8/5): -
• Alex (10/5): Friendly and well located for visiting family and friends. - Friendly staff, good location,convenient parking Curtains to block out light from strings of lights on wall outside, we’re not good
• sophie (10/5): -
• Julien (8/5): - Très bel hôtel et très belle chambre. Proche du métro et sur le bord du grand parc de Clapham. Beaucoup de charme
• Bandilla (8/5): - THe Pub The Curtains
• Lily (10/5): -
• Nikki (8/5): For ease - location, comfort with lots of little pleasures - I love the boutique hotel feel It’s a bit tired looking along the corridors, carpets look worn
• Colin (9/5): -
• Lyndsey (9/5): Lovely stay for concert at Brixton academy - it was perfect managed to get a free parking spot. It was really good value - The pub and grounds were lovely - lovely clean rooms Personal preference as I hate shower curtains. Stair case looked a little rough but didn’t effect the stay or the rooms.
• Alison (8/5): It was just what we needed and we will return. - Great location on the common for walks and tubes. Personal touches in room - books, not mass produced furniture, interesting paintings of local scenes. Hotel Stairwell needs some decorating maintenance. The first impression going up to the room is peeling wallpaper and paint. It’s such a shame because the rooms are beautiful inside and so is the rest of the place.
• Clive (9/5): Nice rooms - Room was spacious, the bed comfortable and the bathroom was clean. Separate bath/shower and shower clean with decent pressure. Decoration in the room was good as well. Staff were friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was nicely cooked. The location is a short walk from Clapham Common underground station ( watch out for joggers!) Refreshments in the room were well stocked. The internal corridors look a bit worse for wear (but not the rooms) The food in the restaurant was pricey but it is London and there's plenty of alternatives.
• Michael (10/5): - When I booked my stay, I booked the night before my arrival by mistake, and didn't realise until I received my no show receipt of payment but when I contacted Jade at reception there was no problem and I was offered a room for that night without an extra cost. It would of been very easy for them to say, tough luck, and charge me, so Thanks Jade and staff. The hotel itself is very welcoming and comfortable. I'll be staying here next time I visit Clapham.
• Tabatha (7/5): Excellent location lovely comfy bed and good bed linnen. - Great location with lovely pub attached. Dirty shower
• Kat779 (8/5): -
• André (7/5): Etape de charme representatif du style anglais - L'emplacement près du parc et la proximité du pub. Absence de fromages au petit déjeuner. Établissement ancien qui nécessiterait certaines rénovations ( peintures, murs des couloires, bac de salle de bain...)
• John (10/5): -
• Panteley (10/5): - OMG,I love the place! Such charm, so much soul .... perfect place for your London vacation ☺️
• Helen (9/5): Great location and comfortable - Lovely rooms, Fabulous food Great service
• Victoria (8/5): - Very spacious room with a huge, comfortable bed and a great bathroom. It had everything you could need, including a fridge and toiletries. Breakfast was lovely, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Also allowed us to leave our bags both before check-in and after check-out. Overall, a really comfortable and convenient stay. Just to note, there are quite a few stairs, though the staff were lovely and helped carry our bags up/down. The back entrance was also a little tricky to find on maps, which meant having to walk through a busy pub with our luggage.
• Patrick (10/5): -
• Matt (10/5): -
• Julie (10/5): I enjoyed my stay at The Windmill. The room was lovely and cosy and lovely and quiet. - The location was great. Close to all transport. Not applicable.
• Joanna (8/5): It was nice and staff were friendly - It was a good location, price was good, the room was nice and comfortable. The doors, corridor side could do with painting and behind the sink in the bathroom there is a small gap which doesn’t get cleaned there is some rubbish there.
• Elaine (10/5): - Excellent location to travel to London. Hotel, bar and restaurant had a lovely vibe. Every member of staff we came into contact with were extremely helpful and friendly. There were some small areas that required some maintenance but they did not impact on our stay.
• André (8/5): Uitstekend - Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel Nvt
• Maria (9/5): -
• LAURA (9/5): Pub merveilleux et chambre confortable - La chambre était parfaite, pleine de petites attentions. Chaude et confortable Très bon petit déjeuner et carte toujours aussi variée Les parties communes mériteraient un bon ravalement
• Soufflet (8/5): -
• Ella (8/5): -
• jeremy (8/5): -
• Mary (10/5): A great taste of life in London. - A great British hotel with an interesting history and a pub that attracted all ages and lots of their dogs too. A real community hub. Good food, super responsive staff.
• Rachel (8/5): -
• Ken (5/5): Disappointing as not much required to make it a lot better. The pubs atmosphere and location shouldn't be let down b - Nice lively pub close to public transport The part of the hotel we stayed in very shabby and carpet dirty. Reception and management staff not friendly or engaging. Stayed for seven nights, most staff never engaged with us. Cleaners and breakfast staff did. Some staff training required on customer service including management.
• Sarah (8/5): -
• Walker (9/5): - Staff friendly. Room large with bay windiw and lots of nice touches like coffee machine, honest hamper with snacks ,wine etc. Though bar person suggested carpark full when 5 / 10 spaces available ! 😏 Rest friendly intelligent and engaging 👍 Breakfast excellent. Premium content beautifully presented. Onsite carpark in London for free !! And location right on common. 😎 Car park advise lax. Bay windows could do with blackout blinds with xmas lights immediately outside. A little noisy with loud guests in beer garden in evening. Lights rm31 only one of 2 ceiling lights working. Explair in bathroom sounded like aircraft starter generator. Overall the room and stay great.
• Kay (7/5): Perfect location, poor room. - Location perfect for us, easy to get to by public transport Tired and not ‘proper’ clean! For example;Dead insects in the net curtains, orange scum in the grout in bathroom, paint chipped everywhere. The bedding was clean and fresh, but duvets and pillows microfibres cheap. Not up to the standard I was expecting for price charged.
• Caroline (7/5): Cosy, comfortable.. a lovely treat on a winters day, yet near the hustle & bustle of London - Lovely cosy place, cosy warm bar area and nicely decorated rooms. Coffee machine & treats a nice extra touch Plenty of hot water, very comfortable bed, crisp linen.. a lively comfy stay Check in was a bit off putting, not as warm and welcoming as the decor & vibe of the place overall Shower area needs attention in the bathroom
• david (9/5): - Youngs beer and very well cooked Breakfast
• Paul (8/5): -
• Paul (7/5): As always welcoming. A great pub and good food - Double bed in room 2 was uncomfortable.
• Donna (10/5): - A great spot to stay in if you need to be in the Clapham area. Feels homely and the attention to detail with the accoutrements in the rooms never fails to impress.
• Sandra (8/5): - Location was awesome. The pub is super cozy and food is good. Decorate room was super cute. The carpets and parts of the hotel are pretty worn.
• Simon (8/5): Perfect Clapham Bolt Hole - Bit of a Gem. Great location and I much prefer these places to hotels. Had a lot of things - stocked minibar - that many hotels have forgotten. Place itself has great bar and restaurant area. Colleagues were lovely. My room was a bit cold. Great for sleeping as I like a cold room during the night. The aircon was set to heat and 24 degrees but was either faulty or was losing the battle it was on :-). I didn’t raise it as I was out most of the time I stayed.
• Joanna (8/5): - Unconventional setting and interesting old building. Nice to escape downtown London with the park right beside Some of the common areas need repair, one corridor needed new paint and base boards replaced (looked like water damage). The room was great though, very well kept and comfortable.
• emily (9/5): -
• Sarah (9/5): Wonderful, dog friendly accommodation right in Clapham Common - My daughter and I booked this hotel for 3.5 weeks . They were fantastically helpful, made my little dog so welcome with a goodie bag, basket and bowl. He was also allowed in the bar. The position on the Common could not be better. The staff bent over backwards to look after my daughter who had just moved to London and started a demanding job. Great shops and cafes just a walk away. Top tip: the chap just outside running the coffee truck is amazing with great snacks and coffee, open form 06:00 ready for my early dog walk on the Common Highly recommend this cool little hotel and pub The net curtains need a good wash. That’s my only complaint though - everything else was top rate
• Robert (10/5): -
• Vanessa (9/5): Comfortable, peaceful room right on the Common - Comfortable, warm, welcoming, quiet The French windows on the ground floor were not secure when I arrived but having checked to see how secure they were, I realised the lock hadn’t been bolted at the top. Perhaps this should be doubly checked when housekeeping are cleaning the room
• Louis (10/5): -
• Elissa (8/5): -
• Teresa (10/5): Very enjoyable stay - Great location with access to public transport No complaints
• Adila (9/5): - Excellent location, good pub, good breakfast, comfortable room.
• sadie (7/5): Well positioned and would like to have tried the restaurant - The location, the receptionist was lovely and the check in The room was quite cold in the night and the heating did not turn up. The towels in the bathroom basket were so cold they felt damp
• Pervin (6/5): - Location Pillows
• Nikolaos Ioulios (9/5): Unique Gem in Clapham! - Not your typical hotel, love the style the location everything so unique great English style best hotel in Clapham by far!! Rooms on the top floors are the best always choose that if u have the option!
• David (6/5): -
• marianna (6/5): nice place just a bit tired - Very good location and the adjacent pub, good atmosphere For the price, the bathroom would need updating, there was a lot of mold and the whole room would benefit from a deep cleaning
• Ulrich (9/5): Great flair, nice pub, frienly staff - Great flair, nice pub, frienly staff
• Valentina (10/5): - It really felt like a retreat! Like a solace and a place to truly relax. I completely enjoyed my stay
