The hotel is situated above a popular pub, offering rooms with very comfortable beds but lacking cold water and breakfast service. The location is convenient, near the Kennington Underground station, but not ideal for a quiet stay. The dining experience includes some fresh orange juice but breakfast is not included. Overall, the hotel provides good service in a lovely area but with room for improvement in certain amenities and services.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were incredibly comfortable, especially the bed, and having a nice bath was a lovely touch. The complimentary breakfast was a real bonus, although it would have been even better with some cold water. The location, being above a popular pub, was lively and convenient, just steps away from excellent food. The service was top-notch, making my experience even more enjoyable.

The hotel is located above a pub that serves excellent food and is close to the Kennington Underground station, in an authentic neighborhood. The rooms are nice with a bath, a great bed, and amenities like a fridge with fruit, but no cold water and no breakfast included. Service is good, and the hotel is super close to the train station, making it easy to get around. The dining experience offers fresh orange juice but lacks inclusion of certain items like porridge. Overall, it's a convenient and quiet place to stay, especially with a nice residential Georgian square behind the pub.
