A little gem, steeped in history… the staff are amazing , friendly and welcoming … thanks to Alex and Saffy for looking after us… basic room but had what was needed… close to the train station, quick and easy travel into Euston. If you do visit , go and speak to jack who will tell you the history of the area and how’s it’s changed through the years.
Fantastic price for the room comfy bed and all clean. Was greeted by a really lovely gentleman at the bar who showed me to the room. Such a good location too! Would recommend and stay again!
Bargain price, property was exactly what we needed, would have been nice for some tea and coffee in room

It was a great place to stay for our trip, but due to the humid weather we struggled with the heat in the room. Maybe a fan or air con is something to look into :)

The staff helpfulness was amazing and the proximity to public transport is great. The property is very old and worn out but comfortable for a one night stay
Located in the centre of London, just a few steps away from DLR station All Saints.
Check-in was easily done, the room contained everything you need for a short stay.
The staff were super lovely and caring! Super quiet area and a nice bed to sleep in especially. Had a rough experience in the area nearby but thankfully where the property is situated it's alot safer! Definitely worth it and multiple supermarkets nearby is always a plus.
Great location for an overnight stay after attending an event. Very easy check in and check out process with a very helpful host. Rooms were clean and tidy and the kitchenette was equipped adequately for a short stay.
Rooms could do with a bit of a freshen up due to wear and tear but this would not affect us staying here again.

So convenient for events at 02. Nice bar and food. Very friendly, helpful staff although service is very slow.
Lovely friendly pub/restaurant with great choice of beverage and food. Great location for events in London especially the o2 which is a 15min journey under the Blackwell tunnel. Really nice and helpful staff. Rooms a little dated but good enough for staying over a couple of nights. I was very happy to stay here.

We had a large room at front of pub with kitchenette microwave fridge wash basin en-suite adequate modern shower and toilet a desk and ideally located and within walking distance of Canary Wharf and 20 minutes to Stratford and the pub does good inexpensive food
Nice place to stay for a week, though not grand or fancy. Rooms are basic but clean. About a 5 minute walk to the DLR line and 15 mins to Elizabeth. Canary Wharf area is interesting, lots of food options.
