My family's recent stay at a well-situated pub hotel offered both highlights and disappointments. The location was perfect, especially as I live nearby, making it a convenient choice for their visit. The pub itself is charming, and the anticipation built up from reading positive reviews had us looking forward to an affordable, enjoyable stay. However, our experience was marred by several hygiene issues. The most concerning was the condition of the bedsheets, which were neither fresh nor clean, evident from the presence of hair and stains. This lapse in cleanliness was particularly distressing as my mother, who fell ill and spent a day in the hotel, encountered these issues firsthand. Furthermore, the cleaning service seemed inadequate; despite the cleaner's visit, there was no noticeable vacuuming, and the toilet's hygiene left much to be desired. A bin overflowing with used period products indicated a lack of attention, especially since we were the only guests over the weekend. Under-bed discoveries of dust, a forgotten shoe, and wigs hinted at a deeper neglect in cleaning standards. While the room decor was both nice and original, these hygienic oversights dampened our overall impression. Another downside was the breakfast experience. The fruits were good, but the biscuits didn't sound fresh, and we were expecting more choice like to go downstairs in the pub and eat a proper breakfast, and the lack of chairs in one of the bedrooms meant we had to eat on the bed.

Yuk - no toilet roll and blocked drains
This is a six bedroom property with two shared toilets. There was no toilet roll and the toilet and shower drains were severely clogged. The hygiene implications of this combination are untenable.

Absolutely fantastic stay. Lovely room. Bathroom is separate to the room, but not an issue, just be aware of this. Room is over a superb pub that serves food, has live music etc.

Cozy, affordable and great location!
I chose this place instead of a hotel just because I liked the decor of the rooms in the pictures, I have to say they don't disappoint! The place is wonderful, super unique decor and probably the coziest place I've ever stayed in. The bed was soooo comfortable I actually stayed in one day. Everything is very clean and the staff is very nice. I'd totally stay here again. The location is good, there are two tube stations about 10 mins away. I recommend going to Devon's Cafe for all-day breakfast, that place saved my life! And as a tip, they have a vegetarian English breakfast option 😍 it's like two or three blocks away from the b&b.

Quirky rooms above a nice pub. Was only staying for one night to attend a concert at the O2. Great transport links to that. Check in and out, quick and easy. I was fully aware it was a shared bathroom but there were plenty of facilities for the amount of rooms upstairs. Was very grateful for the night tray that was left outside my door for my breakfast in the morning, have to confess ate some of it when I got home. Plenty of tea and coffee facilities. Will definitely stay again if attending an event at the O2.

Stayed at the angel of bow for a couple of nights while visiting an event in Victoria park. On the first night we arrived late around 11pm checking inn and was still made to feel welcome and shown to our room quickly. Clean and comfortable rooms and shared bathrooms and would definitely return if in the area and would recommend to family and friends!

Fantastic welcome and quirky pub..loved our stay.
We absolutely loved this place, the staff and owners so welcoming. The best home made chips and weloved the quirky decor.2 very small minuses wewere 2 but had only 1 mug and 1 towel. The breakfast was fruit and yoghurt and some cake which my husband was looking forward to a fry up lol. However the location for the Abba Arena and the pub itself more than made up for it. Also fantastically friendly locals so warm and helpful.
