Guest Reviews
- Nikki (10/5): - Such a warm welcome! And I loved the room, lovely to be somewhere with a bit of personality. Nothing, I loved it
- Dion (7/5): Charming old pub with a great vibe but with some of the issues that come with old buildings like temperamental plumbing -
- Christopher (10/5): -
- IULIA (10/5): -
- Sven (8/5): - War alles soweit in Ordnung. Personal sehr nett, zentrale Lage, überall Bushaltestellen und U Bahn Station in der Nähe. Direkt gegenüber Fahrrad Verleih. Das Zimmer war soweit ok. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt. Ich glaub viel mehr kann man für den Preis mitten in London nicht erwarten.

- Heidi (8/5): Zentral gelegene, saubere Unterkunft - Die Lage der Unterkunft ist sehr zentral. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber. Es gab einen Minikühlschrank und eine Espressomaschine. Durch die Lage an einer Hauptverkehrskreuzung war es sehr laut. Das Haus ist überhaupt nicht isoliert, es war kalt im Zimmer.

- PABLO (9/5): Muy buena relación calidad precio - Teniendo en cuenta los precios de Londres, la relación calidad-precio era muy buena. Muy cómodo y limpio para lo que suele haber en hoteles en Inglaterra. La situación no era la mas céntrica, pero en 20min andando estabas en el Big Ben y la Abadía de Westminster. Además, el hotel está anexo a un restaurante en el que por ser huéspedes, hacen un descuento del 30-40% en las comidas y cenas
- Maiken (9/5): Behageligt ophold - Dejligt lyst og lækkert værelse med stor, behagelig seng, og en hel balsal af et badeværelse. Upåklagelig rengøring og skønt linned. Et plus var også nespresso på værelset. Ikke mulighed for morgenmad, men man er hurtigt i byen. Tæt på metro, bus etc. og beliggende ovenpå en hyggelig pub, hvor man også kan spise om aftenen. Vi bestilte mad en enkelt dag og det smagte dejligt. Gæster får rabat på mad. Lidt forventelig støj fra gaden, mens vi intet hørte til pubben, trods stand up arrangementer flere aftener om ugen.
- Sara (6/5): Stylish boutique hotel - Stylish and lovely details such as the artwork and the tea bags and milk in the fridge. You will need ear plugs. I could hear the extractor all night. Not a great sleep. The carpet although clean was a bit threadbare. A nice rug by the bed would help.
- Lynda (7/5): - Nice themed rooms. Nice location Room very small, struggled with space for luggage. Bathroom window didn't open, fan didn't work so steamed up.
- Anna (6/5): Clean but ‘worn out’ - Location is very good, 5 min from Kennigton station, easy to travel to the centre
Comfortable bed The hotel states boutique…but it is not. It is clean but kind of ‘worn out’.
Our room also hada shower in the room as there was not a separate room for a bathroom. Even if you are with your friends, this is strange.
- Fiona Smith (7/5): Ok for one night. - Quiet room, comfortable bed. Shower was in the room with no privacy.
Lots of stairs to climb - no lift.
- Anne (8/5): Erg prettig en ontspannen verblijf - Authentieke en gastvrije sfeer
- Jessica (9/5): - Lovely, quiet room with a gorgeous bathroom and comfortable bed. Hector who showed me to the room was absolutely lovely and so helpful.
- Mariana (10/5): Recommend it - Great location, cozy room, helping staff, discount to the pub bellow the accomidation. It was not 5 star, but I will definitely stay there again. It was fantastic.
- Lily (10/5): - Room and bathroom was lovely. very clean Maybe something available for breakfast. Not the end of world though as there was pastry pop up over the road in the morning
- Lesley (7/5): Great location and nice touches! - Location was perfect. Tea and coffee facilities in the room. Comfortable bed. It was clearly a relatively cheap and cheerful do-over, decoration wise. For example, the bathroom was huge and shower great, but the sink cupboards were old and fairly unusable.
- Britt (8/5): -
- mireille (10/5): - great service by all the staff. very clean and good linens. stairs can be a challenge when having luggage
- Eva (9/5): Mycket bra och jättetrevligt boende! - Mysigt boende i ett väldigt trevligt område! trafiken var ganska ljudlig, men på natten lugnade det ned sig vilket var bra!
- Deborah (10/5): -
- Steven (8/5): -
- Christophe (8/5): - Tout était impeccable. Seul le bruit de la route et des sirènes étaient désagréables.
- Daniela (8/5): Tolle Lage, große Zimmer, tolles Hotel - Lage, Personal, Zimmergröße, Essen im Pub, wir würden das Hotel wieder buchen! Die Heizung ließ sich nicht so richtig gut regulieren, nachts war es etwas zu warm.
- Malcolm (6/5): Over priced just for a bed - No breakfast was the disapointment the price warranted it to many stained Above
- Gabriele (5/5): -
- CJP (9/5): Fantastic value for money. - Fantastic location, reasonably priced and the room was great. Fantastic place to base yourself in London, right by the tube line.
- John (8/5): -
- Oona (8/5): Great central location, friendly staff and decent rooms. - Good size rooms and comfortable beds At least one of the rooms had a ceiling alarm that had a really bright light on it which shone into our eyes in bed. It was very disruptive.

- Jennifer (7/5): Good value room for a one night stay in London. Lovely room. Friendly welcome. - The person who greeted me was exceptionally friendly and very attentive. The room had a bath which was a lovely surprise, and the bathroom was large. Cosy room with stylish decor and furnishings. Lots of stairs up to the room.
- Gemma (10/5): Perfect - Lovely décor, comfortable bed, lovely bathroom with shower, powerful and hot water, great customer service.
- Carlos (10/5): - Ubicación y baño muy amplio
- Simon (8/5): Just what I wanted for a long weekend in London. - It wasn't cheap but its in an excellent location with very accessible public transport links.
The room was very nice, clean and quiet. I would definitely stay here again.
- Michael (4/5): - The rooms are really tired and need some TLC.
- Josh (10/5): -
- Eugene (8/5): - No towels ?
- peter (8/5): Lovely rooms with good facilities above a nice pub with good food. - Decent sized rooms with excellent shower-rooms above a nice pub. Nice touches like real milk in the fridge and a coffee machine in the room, and reduced price dinners if you're staying there. And the food is consistently good!
- Sue (10/5): Great stay, helpful and friendly staff, the room was lovely and the food was delicious. - Friendly and helpful staff
Was comfortable and modern, excellent facilities and great food.
- Sean (8/5): -
- Jennifer (10/5): -
- Michael (7/5): Really loved it, but with a few tweaks it could be a sensational stay. - Great location, friendly staff, fantastic food. Clean room, well appointed and in good condition. The pub and the 30% food discount was a real winner. Room was smaller than anticipated, a/c was loud but very efficient, lighting was poor, TV was great but needs to be higher on the wall please to be able to watch from the bed, no place for suitcases to be opened so needs a shelf/table, as a walk up some assistance would be wonderful such as a butlers elevator or something.
- Olavi (10/5): -
- Eric (8/5): top -
- Ryan (5/5): - 1) Steep stairs, no lift in hotel, difficult to carry many/heavy luggage up and down the stairs, this can be a huge problem for guests on higher floors, we were on the 1st floor and the stairs were hectic. 2) we were not provided with WiFi password (not huge issue). 3) the surrounding area was very noisy at night, incessant ambulance and police sirens , difficult to sleep with the noise levels coming from main road.
- John (1/5): -
- Sarah (10/5): Highly recommended 👌 - Lovely little hotel, really quiet room and a comfortable bed.
Food in the bar was delicious. Loved it, would definitely stay again.

- Cromie (5/5): - Good location. Comfortable bed. Tea and coffee amenities were good. Room quite and peaceful even though located above a pub. Let us leave our bags at no extra charge, although was just left sitting behind a bar. Was travelling with a friend, was not made aware anywhere prior to booking that the shower and sink were in the actual bedroom with only the toilet behind a closed door. This made getting washed and dressed a little uncomfortable, and had we known this would be the way the room or rooms are laid out, we would've changed our booking. Very unpleasant smell from side entry door to the very top of 3 flights or stairs outside our room, think this was beside being above a pub with an open kitchen. Poor lighting and dusty and just a little tired in general. Staff were ok,not rude, but like they never really knew answer to any question or any urgency when was telling them anything.

- Catriona (8/5): -
- Cornelia (8/5): Für kurze Zeit in London - Die Lage. Nähe an der Underground. Vor der Tür eine Busverbindung.
Der Pub unten im Haus. Lecker Essen,gute Getränke. Mich hat es nicht gestört, aber vllt sollte man erwähnen, dass die Straße sehr belebt ist. Im Sommer mit offenem Fenster zu schlafen könnte für manchen ein Problem sein.

- Mario (8/5): -
- Jaroslav (7/5): -
- Jane (9/5): -
- Alison (9/5): Extremely comfortable stay, great value for money, good location. - Location ideal for us, one short tube ride from Kings Cross. Very comfortable beds- great sleep!! Can’t think of anything
- Gareth (8/5): -
- Virginie (8/5): Chambre typique londonienne au dessus d’un pub 😁 -
- Alvita (8/5): -
- Charlotte (10/5): Très agréable - Très belle chambre, spacieuse, salle de bain super, le lit très confortable, tout à disposition pour se faire café/thé sur un bel espace bureau. La promotion sur les consommations au restaurant fait plaisir.
Merci !
- alboini (7/5): -
- Charlie (7/5): Really enjoyed my many times here but putting the prices up to £250 per night has priced me out of the market - Central and clean Stairs
- Sara (7/5): -
- Steve (8/5): -
- Viorica (8/5): Ok pentru o singura noapte - Nu am avut inclus micul dejun, dar s-a facut un discount pentru mancare (nu si pentru cafea:)). Camera curata si mare, baia la fel. Frig in camera, zgomotul strazii chiar si la ultimul etaj
- Araceli (9/5): It was good - I like that it was relatively walk to the train station. I love the restaurant. It was clean and convenient I did not like the stairs. We had some heavy luggage and one of our bedrooms was in the third level. There was many doors which it felt weird
- Lisa (10/5): -
- Bart (3/5): Conveniently located, but apart from that, nothing special about the Tommyfield. - Conveniently located. Bathroom nice and spacious. Hallways smell bad, no breakfast served on weekdays, on saturday only from 8am. Have to squeeze past bloody boxes with meat in the hallway in the morning, which are for the pub kitchen located on the ground floor. No lightswitch on the wall of the bedroom, only lampshades.
- Jason (9/5): Charming and cosy central stay with character! - Characterful, central, clean, charming Room was a bit warm (but I realise that’s personal taste!)
- Luke (8/5): -
- Rolandas (10/5): - Good location
- Danny (8/5): - Close to all amenities Rm 1 not a seperate shower room only seperated by a curtain
- Richard (9/5): One night stay in a great location for central London - Great pub close to Kennington tube. Twin / Double bed room selection when booking needs to be a little easier
- Alexia (9/5): -
- Samantha (9/5): I would recommend a stay here, it was well priced; food was good and discounted and bed was really comfy and bathroom wa - Its location was brilliant for our visit to the Oval. The food was very good and you receive a discount as a guest. Just be aware that it’s an old building with 3 floors; so a lot of stairs of you are on the top floor (which we were)
- Trotta (7/5): - Mancava connessione Wifi
- Alejandra (8/5): Para pasar un fin de semana en pareja es perfecto - Lo que más me gustó fue la ubicación. Puedes ir andando o coger bus o metro directo a la zona de interes de leicester square, london bridge, covent garden y soho. La presión del agua, a veces casi no salia si usabas varias cosas a la vez. Quizás también le hace falta algo más de limpieza y hay escaleras para subir ( no ascensor)
- Ievgeniia (9/5): -
- cedric (10/5): À refaire - Propreté, literie
- Etienne (3/5): Noisy, curt, impersonal - Very noisy until 0100, lots of sirens and traffic. Started again at 0600.
- Davies (8/5): -
