    The staff were very friendly and very helpful. The rooms were clean and modern and good size. Bus and train services very close. Handy for getting to the start for the London marathon. Would definitely use it again.

    The George canning does not serve food but there are shops and a cafe right next door. It’s a great location for me close to everywhere I need to go and public transport if you need it.

    Great location for King’s College NHS. Stayed here a whole week whilst I was working at Kings. Jonathan was really friendly and welcoming. Very comfy bed, great shower. Slept really well! Wasn’t disturbed at all by any noise from the pub.

    A stay that suited my requirements

    Two small things would improve the experience. A small desk so that a person can work. No where to set up a lap top etc. No Tea or Coffee making facilities. As there is no restaurant on site and the pub is closed in the mornings you have choice but to leave to get a morning refreshment. No glass in the bathroom to get a drink. No information in the room regarding contact details. Out of Hours details and Wifi should be shared on check in. Little things but they add finishing touches.

    The staff were very good and helped me up the steep stairs with luggage. Location is perfect for visits to the hospital and Denmark Hill station. It was clean and tidy. Comfortable bed.

    We were disappointed that the George Canning did not serve food but the owner directed us to an excellent tapas bar almost next door. A couple of things would have made our room a little more cosy: It would have been nice to have had bedside table lamps as the overhead lights were a little harsh at night It would have been nice if basic tea/coffee making facilities had been provided in the room and/or tumblers for drinking water. We were OK as we had a couple of plastic cups but other guests probably would not have these.

    The owner and staff were very friendly and accommodating. The bed was amazingly comfortable and we had a really good night's sleep. Although our room was at the front of the hotel we didn't hear any traffic or other outside noise.

    Bit unsettling - no one to greet you on arrival, but handled the key safe thingy without any hitches.

    Did room only - very convenient location near train station. Brilliant tapas bar next door.

    My room was on the top floor and because of the very hot days in June I had to use the fan, but it was not powerful enough to cool down the super-heated room in the evening.

    Flickering light tube outside room visible round door edges but didn’t keep me awake. No mention of breakfast - assumed not included so ate elsewhere, but never made explicit whether included as not in contact with any staff.

    Decent sized room and very efficient shower. Very convenient for wedding I was attending and good transport links to other parts of London. Convenience of auto-booking in/key collection worked well = minimum delay getting in and leaving at end of stay.

    There was nothing wrong with the place to be totally honest, quiet room, easy access, and a phone number if you had any issues, which fortunately we didn't.

    Ease of access, good location with a bus stop right outside the building. Take the underground from Kings Cross to Oval, then the 185 bus that drops you right outside the Pub, and the rooms are to the side and above the pub. Clean room with a TV and a kettle, on suit bathroom and a comfortable bed. A convenience store and fast food next door and a fifteen-minute walk to Southwark and eight pounds in a taxi to Brixton.
