    Location and atmosphere The breakfast staff weren’t great but the food was excellent

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The breakfast was good and I had a couple of dinners there, fun place. I met some friends there and we had drinks and dinner There really was nothing that I didn't like. For me, the location was just fine (I had a friend staying with her brother nearby) but for some, it was a bit far from London

    It’s convenient for visiting friends in the area. Good breakfast in the restaurant downstairs. Love the decor of the rooms. I’ve stayed here a couples times. This last time the room was not well cleaned. Quite dusty. Also, they missed cleaning my room one day whilst I was there.

    I always enjoy staying here when I visit my family. It has a nice feel and quirky décor.

    Location was great! The bar and restaurant was very good. Service was very good. Bedrooms need some TLC. Carpets are well worn and curtains need repair. Otherwise very comfortable and well serviced

    A great spot to stay in if you need to be in the Clapham area. Feels homely and the attention to detail with the accoutrements in the rooms never fails to impress.

  • Engine customer Dec 2025

    The carpets and parts of the hotel are pretty worn.

  • Engine customer Dec 2025

    Some of the common areas need repair, one corridor needed new paint and base boards replaced (looked like water damage). The room was great though, very well kept and comfortable.

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    Nothing whole stay exceeded expectations

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    The hotel is small, quaint and located at the Clapham Common green space. The food was wonderful, and the pub a very popular place. Even the local furry friends had a good time. The beds were very comfortable and linens crisp. The location is convenient to the tube which we found easy to use. The Commons is also popular with joggers, strollers, families and events. This location is away from the very busy city, but accessible. Just a lovely spot! We packed too many clothes and there were no dresser drawers, just a small closet. So our room was a bit cluttered!

    Clean room and comfortable bed.

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    The staff was so friendly. Excellent location. Within walking distance to lots of bars and restaurants. Spacious room with lots of unique items like old telephone and radio. Books on what to do in London. Breakfast was lovely with wide variety. The WiFi kept disconnecting
