Guest Reviews
- Marjan (9/5): Prachtige, schone kamers en super vriendelijk personeel! - De kamer en badkamer De underground is wat ver lopen. Ondanks dat wat de recensies van sommige andere gasten suggereren: dit verblijf serveert geen ontbijt voor hotelgasten! Bij Fidelio (aan de overkant van de weg) kun je echter fantastisch ontbijten 👍
- Dale (7/5): -
- Turton (10/5): Great place, highly recommend - The whole experience was brilliant. Very comfortable, stylish, great amenities and fab location. Will absolutely be staying again
- Howley (8/5): A nice stay in a good section of London with convenient transportation options - There was no elevator, but the staff assisted us with our luggage. The location was very good. They had no breakfast option, but there were a couple of places nearby.
- eleanor (10/5): Great pub with great rooms - Rooms over a lovely pub. The rooms were beautifully appointed and even though we overlooked a main road it was quiet after 11pm It’s a shame they don’t offer breakfast
- David (8/5): Lovely quiet room in brilliant location. - Lovely big newly refurbished bedroom. 3 flights of narrow stairs.
- Esther (10/5): Perfecte! - Habitacions netes, grans, còmodes i la situació és excel.lent.
- Virgile (9/5): - Le personnel était très sympathique.
La Chambre était propre et bien entretenu.
Globalement très satisfait sur l'ensemble. Pas de pommeau de douche maniable avec un cordon.
- Irene (10/5): -
- Kim (10/5): Thank you for a perfect stay 😊 - Both historic and modern. Just lovely!
- Jennifer (8/5): Hotel correspondant à nos attentes. Personnel serviable et accueillant. -
- Chris (10/5): - Excellent staff! So friendly and helpful.
- Nguyen (8/5): -
- Gemma (10/5): From the cocktails to the sleep. Spot on! - Everything it was just great! From the cocktails to the sleep. Spot on! Nothing
- Sarah (7/5): Lovely room in a nice pub - Excellent room, comfortable and stylish. Welcoming and helpful host but unfortunately the pub was closed when we stayed and we weren’t aware of that beforehand. Nothing to dislike
- Nicola (9/5): Look forward to returning - Lovely atmosphere and well equipped rooms Nothing. Stairs to rooms were steep that might effect some
- Olivier (5/5): I will not come back - Well located, close to Holborn, close to metro, if you target this area. Very large room, renovated but with an old London house charm Disappointing stay.
The room was extremely noisy from 6am: construction work blocking the street (with drivers losing patience) and delivery trucks unloading directly below the windows.
Hotel service was poor on several fronts:
- Quiet room not honoured. I had specifically asked for a quiet room, and the property confirmed via Booking.com messaging that I would be given a high floor as it would be quieter. On arrival, this was not the case. I was too tired to check and only realised later.
- Check-in mishandled. I messaged the property in the morning to confirm I would arrive at 10.30pm. The reply was reassuring: reception open until 11pm. At 10.15pm, the receptionist called me on my mobile to say he was leaving at exactly 10.30pm, and that I would have to call the porter ("10 minutes away by car") to be let in. I insisted he wait, as I would arrive on time or at most three minutes late. His manner was very poor, essentially: "I want to go home, your problem is not mine."
- Tracey (8/5): -
- Martine (10/5): On m’a accueillie alors que je me suis trompée d’année dans ma réservation sur booking - L’accueil malgré que je ne sois attendue que l’année suivante 😥
- Juliet (10/5): -
- sarah (10/5): -
- fabio (9/5): -
- Erik (8/5): - Excellent location. Spacious room and bathroom. Great décor. Comfy beds.
- Rebecca (10/5): - I love it. My favourite place to stay in London.
- Merighi (10/5): Cozy and spacious - I loved it! The apartment was cozy and big!
Would definitely go again
- Alice (10/5): -
- Nicholas (8/5): - Nice room, good location, drink on arrival. Soya milk substitute, no plug in washbasin.
- Tracey (10/5): Lovely hotel, clean, comfy, great staff and food was good too. I would definitely stay here again. - The room was clean, comfortable and stylish and the bathroom was amazing. A small fridge with a couple of bottles inside was a nice touch and having somewhere to eat downstairs was really handy. Staff were so helpful and friendly especially when I first arrived, it really made me feel welcome. My only criticism was that I was on the third floor and with so many stairs it was a real trek for me, but I was aware of this when I booked the room. But it wasn't too much of an issue and it wouldn't stop me coming again.
- Foltz (10/5): -
- Chloé (10/5): Chambre spacieuse et très confortable, proche de toutes activités - La chambre est très confortable, lumineuse et propre. Le personnel est vraiment adorable. Nous avons beaucoup aimé séjourné dans cet hôtel.
- Catherine (9/5): Great room and location, we felt very welcome. Perfect. - Great hospitality. We arrived early but still were able to check in. We even got a drink in the pub on arrival. Thank you!
Water and snacks provided in the room.
We ate in the pub in the evening and had a beautiful meal. There was also a 10% discount on the food. The location was ideal with direct connection by tube to both Paddington and Liverpool Street stations and within walking distance of several Museums and sights to visit. No lift and steep stairs but that wasn't an issue for us.
- michael (8/5): -
- Stacey (10/5): Best hotel experience in my 30 years traveling to london - The staff was exceptionally helpful in very way from the moment we arrived.
The food was excellent at the pub. Nothing
- maria (8/5): -
- Susan (10/5): Perfect stay very comfortable warm friendly staff - Comfy bed clean room , good location Nothing
- Michelle (9/5): - Excellent location within easy access for most places and ideal for my purposes that day/evening. The staff were so helpful and pleasant to deal with. The room was spacious with iron, ironing board, hairdryer, toiletries and aircon - which was much appreciated as it was a very hot day/evening! The bed itself was so comfortable with cosy bedding and pillows meaning I slept well. The only thing to mention is that there was no breakfast, but there are numerous other locations in a short distance to get breakfast. Would definitely return.
- Martin (6/5): Its ok - No breakfast Soundproofing. Too much noise from other guests in adjacent rooms
- dmytro (10/5): everything is great, the staff is friendly, the location is super, everything is nearby! -
- Lisa (8/5): I love this neighborhood, enjoyed staying above a super-nice pub, better than many hotels! - Location, very quiet, comfy bed, big bathroom, mixed feelings about walking up 3 steep flights of stairs,
very nice pub below, convenient to tube station No view (hence the quiet), tiny room (fine for 1 person), no breakfast (but options nearby), steep stairs are not for everyone
- Steven (10/5): Very good returning customer - Location and room. Nothing all good
- Gabriele (10/5): Großes komfortables gemütliches Zimmer - Das Zimmer oberhalb des Pubs war wirklich gross und geräumig - vor allem für Londoner Verhältnisse -, mit großem Badezimmer, und sehr gemütlich eingerichtet. "Cozy" beschreibt es wirklich gut! Es gab Kaffeemaschine und Teekocher und eine reiche Auswahl an Kaffee, Tees und Keksen. Obwohl der Pub gut besucht war, hat man nicht viel gehört. Das Personal war überaus freundlich und hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Wir wurden gleich mit einem Willkommensgetränk begrüßt. Das Bett war bequem, und das Badezimmer hatte modernsten Standard, obwohl es ein bisschen "auf alt" gestylt war (wie der ganze Raum). Wir haben uns extrem wohl gefühlt und würden sofort wieder dort übernachten. Für uns war es kein Problem, aber es gab keinen Aufzug im Haus. Bis zur nächsten U-Bahn-Station waren es 10 min zu laufen, aber ein Bus hielt unmittelbar vorm Haus. Es wurde kein Frühstück angeboten (das wussten wir aber), dafür gab es ein sehr nettes Cafe mit All-day-Breakfast direkt gegenüber auf der anderen Straßenseite.
- Elly (7/5): Comfortable well equipt rooms. - Comfy bed. Friendly staff. Good location. Well appointed rooms, nicely decorated although starting to show signs of wear. It was a shame the pub was closed we had been hoping to eat there for ease.
Just one robe for two person booking.
- Emmalee (8/5): - Cute, quiet, clean, comfy, huge bathroom. Room service was impeccable. Staff was responsive and helpful when needed, even though the pub was closed for the holiday. Tube and bus stations close. Easy walking to St Paul's and British Museum. Would definitely stay here again. Was a bummer the pub was closed, but with the holiday I get it. I'll come back another time! The Netflix account wasn't logged in, but it wasn't a huge deal for me.
- David (10/5): -
- Julien (10/5): -
- Richard (8/5): A very comfortable room in convenient location for a short stay in Clerkenwell - The check-in was easy and the staff were very friendly. The room was large and comfortable, nicely furnished and well equipped. My room was at the front of the pub on the first floor, directly above the bar, so there was a fair bit of noise from the bar beneath and also from the road which was busy throughout the night. Perhaps I should have realised this when booking a room above a pub!
- Paul (9/5): -
- Stephanie (9/5): Great location and comfy stay! - We stayed for 5 nights. The room on the top floor was very comfortable with plenty space and being in the back of the building it was quieter than when we stayed in the front. Bed was comfy. The bathroom was tiny but the shower was good. Tv was massive. Daughter was in a next door room and her room was smaller than ours and would have been a bit tight for two people with luggage but the bathroom was huge and the tv was small.
Location is very good with buses to Oxford St as well as being very walkable too. Nice and close to great places like St Barthololmew the Great and Smithfield as well as St Pauls and walks across the river. We walked to Borough Market easily from here. Also being on the Elizabeth Line its a super easy ride out to the airport! The steep stairs. We knew about them so were prepared but they would be hard for some with bad knees or heavy luggage.
- Susan (9/5): Very nice 😊 -
- Alicia Maria Marlies (10/5): -
- Ben (9/5): -
- Freddie (8/5): - Die Unterkunft liegt rund 10 Gehminuten von Farringdon Station entfernt - von dort hat man eine sehr gute Anbindung zu anderen Linien
- Aukje (6/5): -
- Christelle (10/5): Logement sympathique - Chambre très bien située , grande , agréable et propre . La mise à disposition de café nespresso , thé et un petit gâteau on etait très apprécié avant notre breakfast en ville. Chambre côté rue un peu bruyante
- Sean (9/5): -
- Adrian (9/5): All the facilities you need for a short stay; clean and comfortable room, plenty of hot water, and friendly staff. - Good location, lovely and helpful staff, room was cleaned daily with towels refreshed, etc. food was great (and you get 10% discount for food and drinks in the bar when staying in the rooms.. big bonus). This is just for us (and this can’t be helped) we were on the very top floor. No lift and steep stairs.
- Virginie (9/5): - L'emplacement, les équipements, la bienveillance du personnel Rien
- Amanda (10/5): Loved our stay and will definitely return - Really central to where we needed to be Only negative was the amount of stairs but it was fine for us
- GRAEME (9/5): Ideal overnight stay before Heathrow departure via Elizabeth line from Farringdon - Staff were extremely helpful in taking our luggage to and from our top floor room. The meal in the pub restaurant was excellent. We will undoubtedly return
- Sebastian (8/5): Kamers op de - Fijne, karaktervolle accommodatie boven een gezellige buurtpub. Aardig, behulpzaam personeel.
- philippa (8/5): - Lovely towels, comfy bed, clean Quite a few stairs
- Russell (9/5): - The staff were outstanding, friendlest I have encountered in London
- Carrie (9/5): It was a perfect place to stay to visit our son who lived nearby. - The room was big and very comfortable. The bed was extremely cozy and it was surprisingly quiet. We loved the tea and coffee and water in the room, and all the amenities in the bathroom. We had expected breakfast being delivered to the room but we appreciated the teas and coffee, and water that was provided. We were just confused by the description on Booking.com.
- Victoria (10/5): Beautiful, well appointed, spacious room with friendly staff. Very happy. - Beautiful decor, friendly and accommodating staff and all the little touches in the room like ear plugs in the bedside table; a mini fridge with fresh water; complimentary drink on arrival and free Netflix. Didn’t bother me at all but the stairs are quite steep so anyone elderly or with a disability would have struggled.
- Karen (10/5): Excellent, comfortable traditional inn. - Traditional Inn, welcoming staff and our room was very clean and comfortable. We had plenty of complimentary water, teas, coffees and biscuits and snacks.
We had a delicious meal and staff couldn’t have been more helpful. N/A
- Rippert (9/5): - Well located, cosy rooms, well equipped. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good pub downstairs with good food.

We were in room 9 at the top of the building and it was very quiet. Had a great night's sleep Nothing not to like
- Jan (10/5): -

- Simmonds (9/5): -
- AndyHey (10/5): Beautifully appointed small hotel - Room fabulous, just loved the library-style decoration. Dinner in the pub was really good. All other facilities great. Shame I couldn’t have breakfast.
- Amanda (10/5): - All of the staff was amazing and helpful. The room was very clean, updated and very quiet. We will definitely be staying here again!

- Sarah (8/5): -
- Alexa Ray (10/5): - Staff was super friendly, food was great, very cozy room kept clean throughout the trip. Free snacks and coffee also were a lovely touch!
- Tara (10/5): - Very helpful team and the room had everything and more you would need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay
- Beth (6/5): - We travel to London frequently and were excited to stay in the Farringdon area. The reviews and photos for the Clerk and Well were exceptional. The experience was something different. The location is great and the pub is a great place for a pint and a bite to eat. However the room was very small and sparce with no place to put luggage and the bathroom was extemely small, no bigger than a closet. The shower clogged and was never properly fixed so we had to limit our shower time to minutes in order to avoid overflowing. We would not stay here again and would not recommend.
- Debra (10/5): - My husband and I stayed here for 3 days during our stay in London. Loved the convenient location and having the pub was wonderful. Room was very nice. Just be aware that you need to climb stairs to the rooms and the step up to the bathtub was pretty high. Other than that, was excellent, and the staff exceptional!
- Tatiana (10/5): - Large comfortable room, big bath tub, quiet and conveniently located, friendly staff.
- Ben (8/5): Brilliant - thank you! - Great air con, spacious room, quiet, nice sheets, nice touches like the snacks & water + Roku stick. Tiny sink in the bathroom and stairs are minor inconveniences.
- Victoria (10/5): Spacious, clean, comfy, friendly and fun! Great location and value. - On arrival Staff were fun and festive. Offered me a shot and carried my bag to my room. Room and bathroom were spacious, clean, comfy and quiet from the street. Coffee, tea, iron, hair dryer, fridge all in the room was excellent. Loved my big desk too. I only stayed three nights but did enjoy a tasty chicken burger and pint in the pub. Again, the staff were fun and friendly. Really loved this spot and great value for the neighborhood. I typically look to stay at arty bohemian vibe type place, like the nearby Rookery, but these rooms are twice the size and nearly half the price than those. And has dog portrait paintings. 'Tis great. :) If they served me breakfast in bed at noon, included, lol
- Olivia (10/5): Spectacular - Everything was just so perfect! Would definitely recommend and public transport was everywhere so it is easy to get around! Rooms were amazing and staff was 5 stars. Definitely staying here again when I come to England again.
