Lovely staff

First time here, needed somewhere close for work, which this was :). Very friendly check-in lady, always great dealing with such a positive person - thank you. The room was a nice size, the fridge had provisions and the coffer was of good standard. The bathroom clean and well kept, however the water in the shower was reluctant to drain, having to stop a couple of times till the level reduced before fully rinsing everything. Out of control of the hotel - Other guests and outside noise - due to the hours I work, I like to get to bed early-ish, however still at gone 11pm the guests (with children) were making enough noise to disturb, additionally as the building is so old, most things are connected to each other, the table in the room (glass top) rattled due to the neighbours movements - Would I stay here again? I only stayed here this time due to convenience, I may well give it another go at some point, but wont be rushing to come back

Great weekend stay

The hotel is located o the second floor over a pub in the centre of the banking district. It’s a beautiful old building and the rooms have a a lot of original features. The hotel was very comfortable and surprisingly quiet for the centre of London. The staff are very helpful and we were lucky that our room was ready early. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. there was a fridge in the room with some complimentary soft drinks and fresh milk. Those was also an espresso maker. The room has a decent hairdryer and an iron and ironing board. The room includes complementary breakfast which is in the pub downstairs. There’s a small buffet of fruit and pastries and then a menu to order from Service was quick and food was good. The pub was quiet at the weekend which is not unusual and we had dinner there on the Saturday night. It was normal pub food and good quality. It is expensive but standard for the location. We will definitely stay again as it is a good location for visiting different parts of London.

A great stay in a charming former bank. Quiet, yet ideal location close to Liverpool Street & on major bus routes, tucked away but very handy for sightseeing. Good pub atmosphere downstairs in bar,restaurant serves excellent pies! Staff very friendly,helpful & efficient. Couldn't ask for more!
