Caroline 10.0

This is a wonderful hotel and we were lucky enough to get an upgrade to a suite which was amazing. The hotel is in a great location near Farringdon tube and Smithfield, a very buzzy and historic area. it is in a lovely old building decorated with a lot of character and taste. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. There are lovely public spaces including a library and conservatory and the suite we had was huge and very comfortable and luxurious

Ronald 10.0

Excellent historical property. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast. Rooms very quiet even though right on the street. So much like old London. So much better than a big generic hotel. Very easy to get to many attractions. We will stay here again next time we visit London.

Callum 9.0

A well furnished and comfortable room and hotel. There were really nice little thoughts like the provision of a usb-c charger. We had a very comfortable night's stay and would love to stay again. All staff were very friendly.

Moreno 10.0

In a world where most hotels go for that minimal, modern look… this place has a charm you just can’t find anywhere else! It’s a true Londoner building, and stepping inside feels like walking into a little museum. The antiques, the paintings, the bed frames full of detail, even the statues dotted around the hotel—it’s absolutely stunning! A special shoutout to the lovely lady at reception with the Romanian accent…..she was amazing! So friendly, professional, and full of great recommendations. Honestly, the whole team there was fantastic. For the first time staying in London, we didn’t feel like “just guests”… it really felt personal. We’ll definitely be back!

Amanda 10.0

It has so much character, and the boutique feel is lovely. The in-room breakfast feels luxurious, and the staff is so friendly.
