Had a really great stay at counting house. The pub and bar connected to it is outstanding, very lively, and full of all types of people. The room was relatively spacious and well decorated for a luxury feeling.

Staff was very nice and helpful. Breakfast was very good. The hotel itself has a very small elevator that doesn’t stop at every floor. And tons of stairs. Very small rooms. In the financial area so very busy during work hours and not as many food options.

Generally a very pleasant stay

Beautiful, historic building. Reception was excellent, breakfast good, room very nice but tired in places, location great for exploring the City of London. The only negative was that housekeeping in the room was a bit hit and miss. On arrival the carpet appeared not to have been vacuumed, the safe was unusable and had to be reset by reception and one of the water glasses was removed and not replaced. But overall an enjoyable stay.

Stop looking and stay here!

This hotel and pub/restaurant are amazing! Everyone was kind, everything in the mini fridge in your room is included and so it an amazing breakfast in the restaurant before they open to non-hotel residents. The food was great and you get 10% off your meal any other time you visit the restaurant. I loved the history that is highlighted throughout the space. Highly reccomend!

Nice property. No complaints. The only issue for me was the coffee at breakfast… not good and the coffee made from the machine at breakfast was extra.

Was only a brief one night stay but we were very impressed with the room (florin), the size and decor in particular. The bathroom was also a very good size with both a bath and separate shower. In our opinion, the room put other hotels to shame. The included breakfast served in the attached pub was also very enjoyable (particularly the black pudding, sausages and the creamy scrambled egg). Staff were very friendly. Location was good for us.
