Room was uniquely decorated and service was friendly. Shared bathrooms were clean, the carpets were more doubtful. Mattress could use an upgrade. WiFi did not work during the length of our stay. Entrance a bit depressing.

A lovely quirky place to stay above a nice pub. Shared facilities but clean and of good quality. Lovely bedroom, incredibly comfy bed. Although breakfast wasn't part of it, the host left cereal, croissants and milk and yoghurt in the fridge. There was facilities to make coffee and tea too. Would happily stay again.

Pre-marathon stay

Stayed here as I was participating in the 2025 marathon. The room was lovely and the service received was very good. The road was a bit busy outside all through the night but that cannot be helped. Would definitely stay again.

Comfortable, cute and convenient

We had a wonderful and great day. To tell you the truth, we had no clue what we were walking into. We didn’t realize that there were share bathrooms. But actually it wasn’t that bad at all. The place is very quiet and the staff are extremely friendly. The location sits above a pub in the community of Bow. The closest Underground is a 6 minute walk to Devon’s Road Station in the DLR. you can get to London attractions within 25 minutes. The room was clean, the place has two bathrooms… one with and tub; and one private shower room; so three separate w/c rooms altogether. All very clean. We felt very safe and the staff made us feel appreciated. The room was spacious and comfortable. This was our first shared bathroom experience . We only saw one other person the entire time. I would highly recommend.

I was mostly there for location, cool place, Brrrr

I couldn't get hot water to run out of those taps no mater how long I left it on, kept running cold. Cant clean much with ice cold water, I didn't try the bathtub though. but I sure wanted to. Also thermostat in my room didn't work? got very cold at night. I wanted to like this place but it wasn't very warm. You could hear a full blow convo on the street. like the windows were wide open, Im not a light sleeper tg, but if you are, bring plugs.

Staff were nice but there was confusion about payment and breakfast. Also the room shared bathroom/toilet with the other rooms but nothing like this was noted on the listing. The room had no heating on.

Good night but some nagging complaints

The shower and bathroom is not in the actual room and this was not communicated in the listing at all. I feel like this is a significant issue - I wouldn't have paid the price I paid, if I knew I was sharing a bathroom and shower and so I feel like they hide this information on their listing to try and drive more custom. I don't want to pay over 100 pounds a night for a room that I don't even have a bathroom in. I really felt cheated and annoyed by this and this was a shame because I liked the place and just wish I didn't have this feeling. I also think the check in time is totally outrageous - 4:30pm! This is totally unacceptable - again for the price point. I have stayed in loads of hotels around London and there has never been a 4:30pm check in time. The room was good/comfortable and it had a comfortable bed. The hosts are really nice people and the bar is a good place to drink in. The room was clean and it is in a good location for the DLR. They provide some breakfast options in the room, which was good/helpful.
