Was only a brief one night stay but we were very impressed with the room (florin), the size and decor in particular. The bathroom was also a very good size with both a bath and separate shower. In our opinion, the room put other hotels to shame. The included breakfast served in the attached pub was also very enjoyable (particularly the black pudding, sausages and the creamy scrambled egg). Staff were very friendly. Location was good for us.

We Would Stay Again

We loved the history and how the hotel was modernized in a way that valued and maintained its history. The morning breakfast was always a nice way to start our day and sustain us until a late lunch/early dinner. The two women we interacted with at reception were always friendly and accommodating, as was the housekeeping crew. There isn’t a lot of touristy things to do, as it is in the old banking district. We were there for 2 weekends, and there wasn’t much open. However, we enjoyed the quieter setting, and there were tube stations within a 3-9 min walk.

Experience 2000 years of London history

After staying in Kensington, I decided to stay in the center of London, THE CITY, the Roman original. This hotel is in the heart of it all: close to the Tower, the Monument, the Bank, the Thames. It's above a gorgeous old pub (excellent breakfast included) and the room (Florin) is both spacious and quiet!

We visited the Counting House for a three night stay. I’ve given the review five stars namely because the staff were fab. The room was spacious with everything you needed. Breakfast in the morning was great with excellent choices. Located within a short walk to St Paul’s and Millenium Bridge easy access to tubes to get to where you need to be. My criticism comes from a couple of niggles, namely noise! We stayed in the Angel room which is located next to the courtyard. Single glazed windows meant it felt like you sat next to the people socialising below. A wake up call at 6.50am by window cleaning was also an unnecessary wake up call Cleaning in the room needs to be stepped up, dirty bedside tables with cup stays and dusty surfaces just need some attention to detail. Biggest bug bare is paying to stay somewhere when the bathroom needs a good scrub! Just clean the grout- no excuses!

Fantastic stay

This was a fantastic hotel, very nice. We only stayed the one night, The location is convenient to go explore, with the shard only 10mins and St Paul’s 6 mins. The service and staff was just fantastic. The room was amazing and very clean. The breakfast was fabulous with a good range to pick from. Overall 10/10 from us.
