I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at this hotel. The location is superb, right above a lively pub, and the rooms, while small, were presented well with underfloor heating. The service was friendly and accommodating, even leaving us a key at a nearby hotel. However, the dining options were limited, and the busy morning atmosphere may not suit all guests.

The hotel seemed promising from the outside, but once inside, I was a bit disappointed with the cleanliness near the pub entrance. However, the room itself looked good despite not meeting our expectations completely. The service was top-notch with welcoming, friendly, and helpful staff. The location was convenient, though it might not have the same appeal as it did in the past. The dining experience was okay, with some potential for improvement. Overall, a mixed experience with both positives and negatives.

The hotel is located in the financial district, about a mile outside of London city center. The proximity to Barbican tube station is great, but it may lack the charm it once had. Still, it offers ease of access to various attractions.
