Room is fancy, but third floor with old narrow steep stairs...
lots of details inappropriate for a room of that price : Wall Paint old and damaged, washbasin does not evacuate, WC flush not powerful enough, shower joints old and dirty, night table lamps do not work.
Positive : Friendly Pub downstairs, friendly staff, great location near Barbican and the typical Smithfield Market
Negative : Price GBP 169 unacceptable for the service and room quality
Overall this was a nice boutique hotel. The rooms have a lot of character and a vintage feel, in a cool way. The room was clean, spacious, and had all the amenities you could need. In a great area of London, lots of shops, pubs, restaurants, and public transit.
The reason I give 4 stars is bc the check-in process is not quite 4star and the bathroom sink didnât drain well.
The two rooms that we booked were so cute. The suite room had a couch and an outside patio which was very nice to have as we traveled with family. I loved that the bathroom as the tub had a claw tub and the ground was heated. It is a very charming and rustic. I would definitely go back.
Bra lÀge med nÀrheten till Elizabeth line som tar en hela vÀgen frÄn Heatrow.
Stora rum och hÀrligt badrum. Sköna sÀngar dessutom! Rekommenderas
Supertrevligt hotell ovanpÄ en klassisk brittisk pub. NÀra Farrington Station och smidigt att ta sig till och frÄn hotellet.
TyvÀrr hade restaurangen slut pÄ nÀstan allt pÄ menyn nÀr vi skulle Àta vilket var synd.
Rummet var jÀttefint och erbjöd snacks gratis, det uppskattades!
Det som drar ner mitt betyg Àr att fönstret inte gick att stÀnga. I och med minusgrader utomhus var det vÀldigt kallt i rummet. Jag försökte med AC att dra upp tempen men den lÀt vÀldigt högt och Àr nog i behov av en rejÀl service.
Kommer jag bo hÀr igen? Ja! (Om de löser fönsterna).
An amazing property with loads of history.Americans would love it! Staff very welcoming Cleanliness excellent. This place has so much character.Room comfortable and spacious with separate bed room and sitting area and a terrace. It was a big surprise!
We wanted somewhere near the
Barbican hall 10 mins walk)
We arrived to a packed pub & underwhelming checkin. But from there it was fabulous!
Room lovely. Spotlessly clean, great decor & so comfortable. Aircon a bonus at my age lol.
Wonky toilet seat part of 'quirky' ;) We ate in the pub, staff were so lovely & the food spot on. We sat in a little booth, it was cute. Wine good & all round great buzzing atmosphere.
The walk to our concert was
10 mins.
Coming back the pub was pretty much closed but the guys got us drinks to take up.
Our room was so quiet...
We didn't go for breakfast but can only imagine it wld be lovely.
A really good option in the City & one we will definitely do again.
Of course you can complain abt things however nothing spoilt our enjoyment of this stay!
(Be mindful if you have mobility issues this is an old building, narrow stairs over 3 floors)
This is a cute boutique hotel. It's part of the pub and takes you back in time to a different era. Our room was a charming suite with a copper bath tub, a skylight in the living room, and our own private patio with a living room setup. Rooms were romantic and comfy. We'll definitely return.
Note, there are no elevators in this hotel. We were on the second floor so we only had to haul our luggage up one flight but that could've been more burdensome if we had to walk up another flight.
Nice set of rooms, private, well appointed, terrific shower, & great area.
Looking a bit tired (marks on carpet, sink tap handle falls off) & no breakfast Sat morning till 8.30am a bit disappointing.
Old fashioned property with modern facilities.
Carpet could have been cleaner and the sofa had stains on it.
Great location. Friendly helpful staff.
I liked the place.
I did break my toe on the bed leg but that was my fault not the hotels.
Lovely little hotel, friendly staff, room was really nice with a comfy bed.
Air con unit made a weird noise every now and then but apart from that couldnât fault it
I really liked the room we were presented with, bath in the room, mini bar well stocked and above a pub, which we stayed during the week and wasn't noisy at all. Robes in room and food downstairs, nice touch. Worth the money, the check in was easy, there was mild confusion with trying to take food up to our room for my daughter who was wanting to take a bath, but other than that is was a GEM of a stay and will recommend! The tea and expresso in room were complimentary.
Absolutely gorgeous Market Suite, far better than the pictures showed! Heated floor in bathroom with the most glorious huge copper bath with lashings of very hot water. Full size bottles of shower gel/foam, shampoo and condition for both the bath and the large walk in shower. Super sweet little sitting room with plumfy sofa and a natty little roof terrace complete with plastic grass and seating for a smoke with your Gin & Tonic. Great super king bed and black out curtains throughout. The aircon was marvellous as was the heating mode. XL Bathrobes, huge white towels, great coffee pod machine and lots of lovely glassware j
Friendly and easy-going staff. I was able to leave my bag for a time because the room wasnât ready and I had to be out at a workshop. Everyone I encountered was pleasant and responsive. My room was largeâthe bathroom enormous, with a modern shower and a lovely old claw foot tub. It was a walk-up to the room (not a problem for me but others may want to know) and there was a step in the bathroom as well. Location was terrific: close to two different Tube stops, walking distance to a number of cafes and shops, decent pub just downstairs, and a street of food stalls during lunchtime close-by. I love being in the old City of London. My only critique: the WiFi wasnât as reliable as I would have liked. I had to set up an account on the network because the secure connection wasnât working or didnât reach my room. Also, it can be a bit loud until the pub closes at 11:00 if you are in the front room near the street.
Lovely and big room, lots of nice product to use and plenty of towels. The curtains were a bit damaged making it difficult to close them, including a broken skylight blind otherwise apart from the bed being a bit hard it was a good quality room and an enjoyable stay. I particularly liked that the rooms were separated from the pub so you didn't have to go through the bar to your room.
It's fun staying at a pub. Fox & Anchor has done a really great job on the rooms, pretty bathrooms. Problem was the cigarette smoke wafting in from the sidewalk smokers 2 floors below. Even seeping through closed windows. And very noisy, with 24 hour construction happening in the area. Ask for alternative wifi if Guest Wifi doesn't reach your room.
