I loved our stay...the room, location and vibe were perfect for our quick London getaway. But it was the staff who made this place great...they went the extra mile for us. My biggest regret was not having time to try the earl grey sticky toffee pudding.

Don’t be fooled. Photographer deserves a medal for making budget renovations look high end. All that new paint, yet you can feel the shape of the last guest in the old mattress. 4 floor walk up. Full inch gap under door made of paper. Bedside light switches are 10ft from the bed. And they advertised amenities they don’t have, then offer a beer to make up for your wasted half day doing laundry elsewhere. What they’ll say: “We didn’t know it said we had laundry on Expedia!” (hotels have full control of this info, it’s their fault) “We offered a discount on next stay!” (I won’t be back) “Newly renovated!” (By someone’s uncle) “it’s only 3 flights if stairs!” (Each is 30 steps) Only redeeming qualities are the lovely staff and the lamb pie. This is my first review, I simply can’t let this one go, for your sake. Trust your instincts, book that other hotel. You won’t regret it.

5★ — Stayed here on a work trip and loved it. The staff were fabulous (even carried my luggage to the room), the on-site pub was a gem, and the food was spot on—proper sausages & mash with a cold cider. My room was surprisingly large for London with a UK king-size bed, and housekeeping kept it stocked with snacks and tea every day. Charming, comfortable, and genuinely welcoming.

We travel to London frequently and were excited to stay in the Farringdon area. The reviews and photos for the Clerk and Well were exceptional. The experience was something different. The location is great and the pub is a great place for a pint and a bite to eat. However the room was very small and sparce with no place to put luggage and the bathroom was extemely small, no bigger than a closet. The shower clogged and was never properly fixed so we had to limit our shower time to minutes in order to avoid overflowing. We would not stay here again and would not recommend.

My husband and I stayed here for 3 days during our stay in London. Loved the convenient location and having the pub was wonderful. Room was very nice. Just be aware that you need to climb stairs to the rooms and the step up to the bathtub was pretty high. Other than that, was excellent, and the staff exceptional!

Very clean and big room (we had the Deluxe Double room), Free bottled water every day was a nice touch. Shower had good water pressure. Had some concerns about being above the pub, but even when it was open until 11, the noise stopped pretty much immediately every night. Great location for food and transportation (also late night food!). Spent 4 nights here and would definitely return again. Note: as they disclose, there is no lift. Also the bath tubs are quite high and could pose difficulties for some.
