Charming authentic gourmet pub. Fantastic breakfast! It is above a great pub -but the rooms are totally soundproof. Fantastic value

The bath

On arrive there is a very unsightly looking unused part of the hotel to the left of the main entrance. It would seem this is used for storage, you can see straight in through the double glass doors. Somewhat surprised that this isn’t covered so it’s out of sight. An inexpensive blackout blend would have been sufficient. The carpet on the stairs is also loose and an accident waiting to happen. To add some balance the hotel overall is good and I would stay again.

Excellent location opposite the railway station. The lively and friendly bar. Quality of the food in the restaurant. Despite being in a busy area the room was extremely quiet. The bed was extremely comfortable

Minor comment the bathroom sliding door would stick closed and could be difficult to open

The original decor finish was clearly to a high standard, but maintenance and upkeep wasn’t good enough and I would anticipate the owners would feel wasn’t good enough. The restaurant was also great, food fantastic, but for a pub very expensive almost 90£ a head (no expensive wine) but I guess that’s the same for anywhere in London

I don’t think that the long standard water damage in the bathroom was good enough for a four star property but didn’t ruin my stay. The broken loo seat that had come off the loo wasn’t great either. When I went to discuss this with reception they kind of shrugged it off. No attempt to fix it, therefore the review…. Maintenance, staff and customer interaction need to improve… then they would be great

Breakfast was amazing, compliments to the kitchen staff, every day we had a delicious breakfast. The man that served us on the first two days was very nice and friendly. The room was clean and in the sizable bathroom there was a nice bath. I like it when hotel rooms have baths.

The water tasted quite a bit like chlorine. It may be that I am spoiled by drinking Dutch tap water for most of my life. The glass bottle of water in our room got refilled with this tap water and this left me slightly disappointed. Again, I am probably spoiled. This was the only negative feedback I could come up with after thinking about it for quite some time.

Really helpful and friendly staff (except for one person, see next). Clean and quiet rooms and awesome breakfast! We loved Eddie too.

The receptionist Monday night was very unprofessional and really quite rude. We came in at around 11pm our first night and the door was locked. I pulled once and the door gave a little. Thinking it was a heavy door I pulled again before realising it was locked. The receptionist then came out of the little room and stared us down like some UFC fighter before letting us in. He then went on a tirade, saying things like "that's not how you behave in life, is it?" (Like we're some teenagers on a schooltrip) even after I immediately apologised saying I hadn't realised it was locked.. well, that's not how you behave towards your guests. Sorry but that man should not be the "welcoming face" of your hotel.

Great location, good quality cozy rooms. Lovely staff.

Our room was right next to the entrance door to the floor we were on. This meant we heard whenever someone came in and out and the sound triggered our dog. I think ideally the dog friendly rooms could be tucked away a bit more in case guests do have dogs who react to sound in new environments. Would be a thoughtful gesture for those staying with pets.

The room was large, well furnished and decorated with a comfortable bed, good lighting and a modern shower room. Staff were helpful, breakfast was excellent, relaxed atmosphere and an excellent location next to Wandsworth Town station

The set up of rooms opening into a courtyard area meant that, as the windows were only full length, it wasn’t possible to open a window overnight and had to rely on air con. Bathroom facilities did not include flannels

Was a beautiful room, next to a lovely restaurant and pub in Wadsworth Town. We unfortunately did not get to stay long. The breakfast we had the next morning was delicious. We were so grateful that they were able to hold our luggage while we ran around London.

Needed better lighting near mirrors. The only major negative for us was arriving so late, that no nearby restaurants were open and we had to eat at McDonald's. We would have loved to stay longer.
