The Duke Rooms London

Sehr angenehme Unterkunft. Leckeres Frühstück und guter Kaffee. Sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Personal. Unkompliziert Check-In und Check-Out!

First of all it isn’t a hotel. We stay four nights and when we arrived we found our that the bed was poorly made, so we fix it ourselves. Our rooms was only cleaned one day. The breakfast was poor and it was closed early. We understand the contingency, but I do not recommend to stay in it.

Very tight space. Specially the bathroom. It was confusing to get in the hotel, no one answer the ring outside the building and after we called they told us to go in the pub. It was not easy getting in the pub with two big luggage’s especially the super narrow staircase too the second floor. I do understand that things got more strict with the virus regarding the free breakfast in the morning. But when I checked in the previous night they told me there will breakfast in the morning. When I got there next morning they didn’t apologize that they did not have anything for me. I also was not to found of the area. But that’s my personal choice.

It is alright, friendly staff, room is tidy. However there is no lift, i shall have sticked with other normal hotels for this value if you have luggage.

Från utsidan ser det ut som en pytteliten pub. Vi visste knappt hur man kom in. När vi väl kom in var receptionen själva puben och trappan upp till rummen var så smal, svinkall o smutsig att vi fick lite panik. Men så kom vi in på rummet som var fantastiskt fint, modernt, varmt och fräscht. Det var verkligen väl värt pengarna. Frukosten var väl lite väl spartansk/kontinental men det funkade det också. På tisdagskvällen hade de quiz i puben men vi hörde ingenting upp till rummet.

Very good location for exploring London. Really nice and comfy bed, good A/C. The one big let down is cleanliness of the place - starting from the stairs as you walk up to the room, to carpet in the room itself. Also, if you have high expectations for breakfast, you might want to go somewhere else.

hotel was basically above a pub. Location was good. Room and bedding was clean but toilet was dirty!! The bar had no drinks! They ran out of beer and Coca Cola and had no gin!!! The young man didn’t know what he was doing and wa the only member of staff there. The room had only coffee and no tea and no teaspoons either. The towels were also very small! Won’t be going back

Small room on 3rd floor

The hotel is in a good location - close to tube station. the room was comfortable, just on the small side as expected for the price. Bathroom was completely renovated and has modern fixtures. As I explained to the desk clerk upon check out, there was a somewhat musty smell in the room upon first entering. However, aster the AC was on, the smell dissappaited. The other not so great experience was the check in process. The door says ring the doorbell, but there were two doorbells and I got no response from either. After about 10 minutes i knocked very hard on the door and someone came and got me checked in.

Stay was OK but not great. As a solo business traveller, I wouldn’t stop again - it just felt a bit uncomfortable. In fairness, maybe if I was on holiday and wanting to get a more local feel for London, it would have felt better. However, some constructive input. As other reviewers indicate it’s a B&B spread across three floors (3 rooms/floor) above Duke of York pub (a locals ‘Queen Vic from Eastenders’ style pub with ~7 tables inside and m~3 trestle-tables outside). I’m afraid check in was a real problem giving a poor first impression. Whilst it says check in from 3.30pm, when I (& coincidentally another guest) arrived at 4pm, the pub was locked and no-one responded to the bell, knocking or phone-calls. Infact the bar lady arrived and couldn’t get in either. After ~30 mins, the door was opened from inside but with no hint of apology or explanation (the bar lady was brilliant though) – the only comment that he had been there all the time and we hadn’t knocked. Not a great start. Again as previously described the rooms are up three flights of narrow stairs that look a little shabby & dark. My room was fine - not big (low eaves made it smaller) but a double, bathroom plus kettle/coffee/tea & limited open wardrobe. Fine for one – tight for two. Bedroom walls were very thin - could hear neighbors clearly and when they came in/out of rooms late. Breakfast was served in the pub and consisted of cereal, cheese/hams and pastries/bread In summary - ok stay but not again.
