    Cannot think of anything.

    Arrived late as planned was able to walk to Tesco to purchase food. The corridors and room were lovely and clean, great quiRoy decor and although room was small there was everything we needed. A lovely addition for me personally was the Temple Spa range of soap etc which is ann aromatic pleasure! Also just great was the fridge outside the rooms with cold water and oat milk -fantastic! Bar staff were kind, smiley and positive!

    1. Shady entrance. It is on top of a pub, very weird corridor. Don’t have reception. You don’t enter trhough the bar, but near the bar. 2. In the room + bathroom, there wore a lot of flies. 3. we stayed 4 days and no cleaning was made in the room. 4. Right outside the room, it smelled awful. 5. The bed was confy but it was small. You really need to squeze in with your partner.

    The property is in a good area, really close to anything. The staff was nice. Wifi was good. Even tho it was on top of a pub, there was very quiet. We even slept with the windows open.

    the stand in shower didn’t drain so the water is very backed up while showering. but this doesn’t hinder the pros of this property.

    amazing locations super convenient to everywhere. can’t beat the price. the staff is amazing, food downstairs is amazing.

    could be a bit cleaner and sink in bathroom took a long time to drain. mattress was on the softer side but that's personal preference.

    decor and colour was great. coffee machine was a really good touch. very quiet despite being on top of the pub. 10 min walk from elephant+ castle tube station. did not use busses as ride london was on.

    Great value for money. Staff excellent and allowed us to drop bags early. Great pints and food on offer. Close to tubes and Central London.

    For the type of accommodation there is not much to improve, any lack that we could find was solved by the staff.

    They did not offer breakfast, but on the first floor there is a Pub with very friendly staff, there they prepared lunch and dinner of light dishes (pizzas, french fries, etc). The location is really excellent, public buses constantly pass by the front that take you to the main tourist places, just minutes away. Definitely very well located

    We paid for a superior room with a window and got a small room with a velux - it made the room feel very dark, small and claustrophobic. The rooms they showed under superior rooms all had nice big windows so I felt like we had been given a standard room. Was not able to move rooms as all other rooms were taken. No full length mirror in room, and no plug socket close enough to bathroom mirror to curl my hair in the mornings. Felt like a poorly thought out room, really.

    Nicely decorated, staff very friendly, bed was comfortable

    Getting a hold of staff was difficult outside of pub hours. Need instructions for how to use the coffeemaker. Was told there was water and milk in fridge but found none.

    Friendly staff, went out of the way to hold my luggage while I was out and about after check-out time.

    Upon arrival intially had no record of my booking even though I had received confirmation after payment was made few days previously. We had drink in the bar which entitled us to 10% discount but the drinks were still expensive. The room was up two flights of stairs so not ideal for anyone that would struggle with stairs and carrying luggage. Room small.

    Room was nice and clean, nice en suite bathroom and tea & coffee making facilities. Despite being in a pub the room was nice and quiet and very accessible for underground station.

    Shower is small and only the rainforest showerhead worked also there is a hand held one. Windows only open a little.

    Rooms are charming, perfect mix between modern and old fashioned, with all the necessary amenities of 2023 civilization and antiqueish furniture. The room was actually bigger than most Hotel rooms. Staff was always helpful and friendly. We got a glass of sweets, a water heater and an espresso maker. We could grab water and milk (with a vegan option) from the fridge upstairs. There is a modern fan ( we didn't need it), shower gel and shampoo and a hair dryer. Connections are great. There's a Bus stop around the corner that will get you right to Westminster and Soho. There's also a small store where you can get basic needs stuff and a small cafe to grab coffee and a small breakfast. Great choice if Hotels are too expensive for you but you still want to have some comfort.
