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!

Thank You - A Great Stay

This is a lovely place in a convenient part of town. The room was immaculate and the pub served great food and drinks (with a nice discount for those who stay there). The pub staff were super friendly and helpful and a shout-out to Tina for a smooth check in and awesome hospitality. This is a gem of a place!

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.

Excellent stay. Could not fault this. Staff were excellent particularly when we left our keys in the room one night l. The room we had , no 4, was lovely. Spacious, excellent bed and aircon on what was a scorching weekend. Bathroom kitted out beautifully. Will definitely stay here again and at others in this group

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.

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.

I stayed with my 18 year old daughter for 4 nights at the Clerk and Well. We had a wonderful experience. The staff was so friendly! Jude gave us a great list of places to visit and everyone working in the pub was always helpful and kind. The housekeeper went above and beyond to make everything perfect. The bed was very comfortable and the fan and ac worked like a charm for a comfortable sleep. Lastly, we had a large bathroom with a shower and tub. We would definitely come back again.

Luxury and convenience

Great rooms and right above a great restaurant. One of the best meals we had in London. Only spent 1 night but enjoyed our stay and the checkin was smooth and host was great. It was Easter Sunday and he was doing it all. They do tell you that there's no elevator so if you have big bags there are steps and you could go more than 1 flight of stairs, but they will offer help if you need it.

The room was quite good—spacious, recently renewed and clean. But there are four stairs to my room (#6). It was awful getting there with luggage. The check-in process was as straightforward as the check-out. Breakfast was good, and the waitress was super supportive.

Lucky find. 20minutes from Covent Garden walking. Holborn and Chancery Lane tube stations 10 minute walk. Easy check in. Spoke to friendly bar staff who immediately checked us in. Lovely, clean large room. Very comfy bed with lovely bed linen. No breakfast tea and not enough milk but we could have easily asked in the bar if we were that bothered. Unable to have a bath as the plug was stuck but very minor issue as the shower was great. Complimentary body wash and shampoo. We were too keen to explore so we didn’t have a drink or eat in the pub but you do get 10% off for being a guest. Would highly recommend. Do shop around online for room rate as some sites vary hugely. We paid £225
