Perfect for a weekend break

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!

Clean room, comfortable bed. Great price for the location, and a nice pub attached. Only negative was the motion detecting light in the bathroom sometimes stayed on so needed to cover with a towel, but only a minor issue.

Oodles of character, yet modern and super clean

This is the original character and magic that Disney tries (and fails) to capture and put into cages in theme parks. Lots of London hotels in older buildings have character, which can include windows in the basement, or beds you must climb over to reach the bathroom. But though building is old, rooms are Hilton-clean and new, yet haven't had the soul sucked out of them. Breakfast was good, and nice to eat in the quiet pub. As a caution, corridors and elevator are tiny and stairs are steep. The whole place is just odd, in a good way. Location is also good especially if you need something towards the business end, Liverpool Street station, or Tower of London, but not impossibly far from West End shows. I'd stay again for sure - though I'm guessing most times it would be out of my price range.

Rudely awakened by a window cleaner at 5.50am! Guy on Reception was not even apologetic- what hotel has someone cleaning windows at that time in the morning! Great breakfast and service staff as normal 2 bottles of old milk in the fridge so housekeeping need to up their game

I recently stayed at this hotel and was pleasantly surprised by the updated rooms and bathrooms, especially considering the building's older architecture. The blend of modern amenities with historical charm made for a unique and comfortable stay. The breakfast at the hotel's restaurant was both good and convenient, providing a great start to the day. The staff were exceptionally nice and helpful, which added to the overall positive experience. Additionally, the hotel's location is fantastic, with bars, restaurants, and shopping all within walking distance. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay.

Unusual hotel. Good location being ten minutes walk to Liverpool Street station, the tower and St.Pauls. the breakfast was a great bonus and it is A good pub downstairs. The rooms are good and well appointed. My only concern is that the hotel is a converted bank. We loved the decor and feel of the place but it ihas long and winding hallways which I wouldn't want to carry large suitcases around. A carry on case isn't an issue. So a bit quirky but breakfast makes up for it
