Excellent stay. Could not fault this. Staff were excellent particularly when we left our keys in the room one night l. The room we had , no 4, was lovely. Spacious, excellent bed and aircon on what was a scorching weekend. Bathroom kitted out beautifully. Will definitely stay here again and at others in this group

I stayed with my 18 year old daughter for 4 nights at the Clerk and Well. We had a wonderful experience. The staff was so friendly! Jude gave us a great list of places to visit and everyone working in the pub was always helpful and kind. The housekeeper went above and beyond to make everything perfect. The bed was very comfortable and the fan and ac worked like a charm for a comfortable sleep. Lastly, we had a large bathroom with a shower and tub. We would definitely come back again.

Lucky find. 20minutes from Covent Garden walking. Holborn and Chancery Lane tube stations 10 minute walk. Easy check in. Spoke to friendly bar staff who immediately checked us in. Lovely, clean large room. Very comfy bed with lovely bed linen. No breakfast tea and not enough milk but we could have easily asked in the bar if we were that bothered. Unable to have a bath as the plug was stuck but very minor issue as the shower was great. Complimentary body wash and shampoo. We were too keen to explore so we didn’t have a drink or eat in the pub but you do get 10% off for being a guest. Would highly recommend. Do shop around online for room rate as some sites vary hugely. We paid £225

Luxury and convenience

Great rooms and right above a great restaurant. One of the best meals we had in London. Only spent 1 night but enjoyed our stay and the checkin was smooth and host was great. It was Easter Sunday and he was doing it all. They do tell you that there's no elevator so if you have big bags there are steps and you could go more than 1 flight of stairs, but they will offer help if you need it.

The room was quite good—spacious, recently renewed and clean. But there are four stairs to my room (#6). It was awful getting there with luggage. The check-in process was as straightforward as the check-out. Breakfast was good, and the waitress was super supportive.

A quick and pleasant night at The Clerk & Well Pub

We had a one night stay in London before returning home. Our room was clean and very roomy. Air conditioning and a ceiling fan cooled it down nicely (an odd warm spell while we were there). We had interaction with various members of the staff during check in, eating dinner in the pub, and check out. They were all very friendly and helpful. We arrived before check in, stashed our bags in a storage room and headed out to see the sights. We were on the top floor of the hotel and had to climb 3 steep and tight stairs. Something to keep in mind if you plan to book here. No issues for us and they did carry up our suitcases from the storage room while we were sightseeing. We had dinner and the included breakfast in the pub and both were delicious. Hotel was across the street from an amazing street full of food vendors. We didn't partake because of timing but we walked through and it smelled and looked amazing!! All in all we would highly recommend Clerk & Well Pub

Rooms are fine. However, there are A LOT of stairs and no elevator/lift. The stairs are steep. Fine for some, but not all guests. This should be disclosed. Check-in is in the bar, which was packed when we arrived.

Amazing stay

The room was on the third floor, it was large, clean and really comfort. check in and out were really fast and friendly. one bad thing, they forgot to clean the room on our last night and we had no one to talk with at 12am to ask for new towels, besides that we were quite happy with the stay. This hotel looks and feels according to all of the existing reviews ;)

Hello we were very happy with the cleanliness and comfort of our room. However, there were a few issues. We did not have our coffee replenished and our drinking glasses were not washed and cleaned by the cleaning staff. The safe was already locked with door open and was unusable. We could not log into Netflix and could not find any instructions in the room how to do so. Lastly, there was no one available to assist call in each of these cases. Having someone more available by phone would have been helpful.

First visit to London

The room is very nice but there is no front desk. Even though I emailed them my estimated arrival time one day before, my wife and I were still waiting for someone to open the door and checked us in more than 10 minutes on the street. We did not know how to make a phone call to the number was provided on the window right next to the door since it is our first visit to London and we did not have local phone service, either. I would recommend this place if we did not experience that. Hopefully, they can do better job for their guest.
