    Great pub in an excellent location. Close to restaurants and other bars, just across from Liverpool St station so get anywhere quickly. Walking to Tower Bridge and other sites like the Sky Garden. The guys carried our bags up the narrow steep staircase which was awesome. Room was a well appointed suite with separate sitting room, bath and balcony.

    Wonderful hotel. Most of the bad reviews reference difficulty checking in after-hours, just be sure to let them know. We loved it so much we extended our three day stay to a full week. Beware the stairs: higher rooms will have lots of stairs to get to them, but it did help two out-of-shape people prepare for lots of walking and sightseeing. It was quite nice to not have the elevator noise typical of a lot of hotels.

    Stayed in one of their rooms for a week-long work trip. Fantastic location - perfect, central with Liverpool St Station across the road for super easy access to Heathrow. Good sized room with modern fit out and a good work desk. Communal pantry (at no extra cost) was a godsend with jetlag. In-room wifi was poor though and I didn't see anyone checking in or out which is fine but it's not quite a hotel for better and worse. Will definitely stay here again.

    Great location for business travelers due to the proximity of many large financial institutions. Very convenient to Liverpool St station as well for access to the underground and Greater Anglia Trains. The bar downstairs is a good size, comfy, and clean. The rooms can be on the smaller side but considering the age of the building that’s to be expected. Check in process was easy, if you’re checking in outside of standard hours make sure to let them know. If arranged in advance you’ll have no issue. There are a fair amount of stairs so those who find it difficult going up and down should…

    This pub invents up beer prices, so check your receipts. My story: First round of 2 pints was £14. Then they try to bill me £15 for the same round an hour later. When I challenged this I got a lot of hostility from the person serving me ("There is no manager here for you"). The second bar person had the sense to correct the price. It's not about the money, but it's annoying to be told "the beer isn't programmed into the computer so we don't know how much to bill". Know your prices and be consistent with them. Otherwise its incompetence and feels dodgy.
