    Very tiny room but doable.

    The location was beautiful. The staff were most helpful even when a mini crisis arose.

    The welcoming was great. Very friendly. Room was nice and big, bathroom a good size too. What I really liked was I wasn't staying in an impersonal hotel, it was a place that had atmosphere and character.

    Instructions to get into room were a bit vague but called the number provided and got instant support. Forgot the gate pin tho but customer let us in. Might not suit early to bedders as was quite noisy until midnight but then completely silent after that.

    The room was great. Clean, comfy, well equipped with tea, coffee, hairdryer & shower gel/shampoo. Good location for us visiting relatives in the area. Loved the balcony!

    In all honesty, I’ve stayed in five star hotels that weren’t as good as this place! A warm welcome, incredibly comfortable bed, room and en-suite spotlessly clean and the pub downstairs is fantastic. Also one of the very few places to find a decent pint of Guinness in London. The manager and her staff go above and beyond and it shows. Walk in as a stranger, leave as friends. (Breakfast wasn’t included but there’s a lovely old fashioned breakfast cafe next door with a huge menu, so all good.) We had a five star perfect stay and will definitely be return customers for years to come, for sure.

    Excellent place to stay in the heart of Hackney. Really nice welcoming staff. Friendly hosts and locals in both adjoining pubs. Well equipped room with plenty of tea and coffee. Comfy bed, good shower, I slept well but was glad of my earplugs as the window was above a busy street.

    Water pressure was variable in the shower although it was a top floor room and therefore might be expected to have a weaker flow - just need to be patient with it 🙂.

    Clean and comfortable room with a very comfortable bed. It's atop the pub but you can't hear any pub noise in room 7 on the top floor. Nice pub too with a friendly community feel about it and loads of screens for sports fans so you can always get a good view.
