Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The room and the bathroom were both very large and comfortable, with all the amenities one could look for in a hotel. Free snacks, tea and coffee were provided, which was nice. The staff was friendly and helpful both at reception and at the pub. Overall, very pleasant stay!
All good :)
very nice rooms, firm comfy beds, great location. Sunday Roast was excellent and the beer was fantastic. Staff very helpful. sitting at the front and having a night cap before I went to bed was just the ticket.
nothing to complain about (except the stairs!) Americans are not used to going up 3 flights of stairs.
La habitación es súper grande ya no se ven así Me gustó el baño pero quitaría la bañera El colchón súper cómodo y el barrio no lo conocía y me encantó Hay bares y pubs alrededor Está muy cerca de la city
Las escaleras son bastante empinadas y le falta el desayuno sería ya perfecto
Très bon emplacement, chambres impeccables et calmes, lit comfortable.
We liked it all - in no specific order - the welcoming staff (Tina is a gem), the decor, the spacious rooms, the cleanliness, the big towels, the free snacks, the Netflix account, the location, the food, the water in the fridge (and the fact that the bottles are glass and not plastic). Also that it’s possible to borrow adaptors if you’ve left them at home - and that there is an iron and an ironing board.
No dislikes at all, but the steep stairs up to the rooms can be a challenge for some people.
Location, good staff
Shower water pressure windows didnt open, no plug in sink, shut on sunday night
Gorgeous room, loads of lovely thoughtful extras. Fab location if you fancy a bit of real London rather than a tourist trap.
grand lit confortable, style, staff serviable, localisation
Sehr freundliches Personal, großes Zimmer mit schönem Bad, sehr zentral, sehr zu empfehlen!
Es war alles super!
Very friendly staff. Very good location and value for money.
Shantall es la mejor empleada del mundo, he viajado a muchos lugares y nunca he visto una empleada de hotel tan atenta. En mi opinión se merece un buen salario.
We had an issue with a leaking tap and was promptly offered an alternative hotel and transfer to this one with a complimentary drink. Both hotels were lovely and the staff were excellent
Nothing
Lovely rooms, comfortable and had everything needed for a lovely stay. The little touches made a difference such as robes, snacks, complimentary drink. Food downstairs was good too.
Beautiful room. Great selection of drinks and snacks. All the toiletries you expect and some nice little touches.
Staff is amazing and super attentive Rooms are clean and location very central

Great location, central for getting around the city, area felt safe. Rooms were excellent every detail had been thought of.
Nothing
A friendly welcome plus drink; room size and facilities including extensive range of toiletries and complimentary tea, coffee, bottled water, crops & biscuits (Rm7).
The air con was broken in our room during a very hot weekend. We were forewarned and the staff gave us a fan. There was nothing more they could do as the engineer came and was unable to fix it quickly. It was warm in the room, but we were well looked after.
Spacious room, pleasantly cool and quiet in a heatwave, pleasant staff, comfortable bed, good location for where we wanted to be.
Really quite expensive for a pub room.
Absolutely amazing in every way - lovely hosts and gorgeous room. Food in the pub was also superb!! 100% coming back…

Very welcoming staff - cozy room and great vibes
Room was perfect, very roomy and exceptionally clean. Little touches like water in fridge and snacks for guests. Beds were very comfortable. Room is air conditioned if required. Provided welcome drink for guests and discount for eating in restaurant.
There wasn't anything to not like about the Clerk and Well pub and rooms. Guests should note that stairs to the rooms are steep but was helped with case by a kind member of staff.
Great location, secure and safe, lovely rooms
Tight steps up to room
Great location and decent pub downstairs Welcome pint Quiet room Free mini bar
Bathroom bit in the small side and you need to have no problems with stairs
Très jolie chambre, moderne, très bien décorée. Personnel très accueillant et chaleureux ! Je recommande
Nice

La habitación estaba muy bien, muy completa, la limpieza era muy buena y era muy tranquila. El baño estaba muy bien. El personal muy amable y el servicio muy bueno.
La ubicación estaba bien aunque había que desplazarse un poco para llegar al centro, pero era una zona muy tranquila.
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 👍
The whole experience was brilliant. Very comfortable, stylish, great amenities and fab location. Will absolutely be staying again
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.
Habitacions netes, grans, còmodes i la situació és excel.lent.
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
Lovely big newly refurbished bedroom.
3 flights of narrow stairs.
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.
Both historic and modern. Just lovely!
Excellent staff! So friendly and helpful.
Everything it was just great! From the cocktails to the sleep. Spot on!
Nothing
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
Lovely atmosphere and well equipped rooms
Nothing. Stairs to rooms were steep that might effect some
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."
L’accueil malgré que je ne sois attendue que l’année suivante 😥
Excellent location. Spacious room and bathroom. Great décor. Comfy beds.
I love it. My favourite place to stay in London.
I loved it! The apartment was cozy and big! Would definitely go again
Nice room, good location, drink on arrival.
Soya milk substitute, no plug in washbasin.
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.
La chambre est très confortable, lumineuse et propre. Le personnel est vraiment adorable. Nous avons beaucoup aimé séjourné dans cet hôtel.
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.
The staff was exceptionally helpful in very way from the moment we arrived. The food was excellent at the pub.
Nothing
Comfy bed clean room , good location
Nothing
No breakfast
Soundproofing. Too much noise from other guests in adjacent rooms
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.
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
Location and room.
Nothing all good
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
Die Unterkunft liegt rund 10 Gehminuten von Farringdon Station entfernt - von dort hat man eine sehr gute Anbindung zu anderen Linien
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.
L'emplacement, les équipements, la bienveillance du personnel
Rien
Really central to where we needed to be
Only negative was the amount of stairs but it was fine for us
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
Fijne, karaktervolle accommodatie boven een gezellige buurtpub. Aardig, behulpzaam personeel.
Lovely towels, comfy bed, clean
Quite a few stairs
The staff were outstanding, friendlest I have encountered in London
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.
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.
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.
