Summary of traveller reviews

PubLove @ The Exmouth Arms in London offers a fantastic location, perfect for travellers exploring the city. Staff are frequently praised for their friendliness and helpfulness. While the atmosphere in the pub is lively, some guests find the rooms can be uncomfortably hot and lack sufficient charging points and privacy features like curtains. Bathrooms are also a common point of complaint, with issues regarding cleanliness and a limited number available.

They say they serve food all night but they don't, yet they don't allow people to bring their own food in. The staff were incredibly rude, the barman didn't input the late check out despite us paying for it, and a staff member literally lunged at me when we were leaving, saying "WHAT" because we were standing there waiting to check out and I didn't know he was a staff member because he wasn't wearing any identifying clothing and was standing at the check in counter with bags. So rude.

In a heatvawe the rooms are unbearable since there's no airco. We were in room 10, it had two extremely loud fan, not so useful. The beds were not comfy and really small, but at least mostly clean. The room is really really small. There's a big mirror tho and lockers in the room. The bathroom is dirty and no place to put your stuff. A few shelves and more hangers would be nice. Overall we didn't like the place at all especially because about the pictures we didn't expect the room we got.

The pods give you so much privacy while still being very spacious. The bathroom is clean and the staff was very helpful, would definitely comeback!
