Welcome drink & breakfast were lovely touches. Surprisingly quiet upstairs despite busy bar below.

First time in London and not knowing where to stay, I was happy I chose the Buxton. Close to the subway and convenient to get anywhere, and the neighbourhood was great to walk around. The breakfast was fantastic and my wife and I worked through the menu over the days we were there, and were always happy. The hotel has been nicely redone. We were surprised at the size of the room, expecting something larger, but it was familiar since I spend a lot of time in HK, where rooms are also smaller. I wouldn't go for a getaway with someone I wanted to keep awareness of normal bodily functions secret, but if you're comfortable, it's fine.

The whole set up and vibe is really good and we can make our own coffee in our room. Though the room is above a busy bar but after the door is shut, we couldn't hear anything from downstairs. And most of all, the staff are really nice, considerate and friendly.

A small, simple room above a tavern ! Just like in old Victorian England :) You walk into the bar and the bartender hands you a key and you get to your room. Great bedding and towels (5 star quality). Fantastic breakfast. Friendly staff. Great location. Good value for London.

In our room, there was not so much privacy with the bathroom, since it had a glass door. Didn't bother us thou!
Brekfast was great. It included an option of juice, coffee and a toast /granola / porridge or fresh pastry. I really enjoyed the yoghurt with granola and fruits.

Unfortunately there was no water in the morning and we struggled to have a shower and get ready for a day at work. Apparently a problem with the pump, but when we were informed it was resolved, it wasn't. We were on the top floor, and we suspect it is a common problem
Location was good and the welcome drink was a pleasant surprise. .

“Clean, quaint, well situated hotel near Tower Hill. Limited service and options.”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
The rooms face a busy street which is noisy until late. The blinds don't shield the room completely from streetlights. The curtains don't help much. There are earplugs provided in the drawers but still hard to sleep with streetlights at room level and the noise.
Great accommodating staff. Located above a quiet cozy pub in a busy neighborhood. Nice room and strong shower. Good complimentary continental breakfast.

A restrictor on the window would have been great so that I could have a bit of air without the whole window being open. I think maybe I just needed to ask a member of staff though!
Super comfy bed. Great coffee. Loved the radio in the room. Lovely staff. Roof terrace perfect for an evening coffee relax.

“Nice, if small, designy room in the Aldgate side of the East End”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
It was three floors up with no lift. Fine for me with no luggage and no mobility issues, but should be clearer that this is the case. Cooked breakfast is extra Nowhere to hang cloth. OK for a day or two but not more than that.
It is a nice room (small but perfectly formed for one), well located (although in the less exciting end of the East end) with nice design touches. Nice breakfast (continental)

“Noisey and not child friendly”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
No separate entrance for hotel - so had to walk child through busy bar area. No lift and no offer of help to take cases up to third level. No bin in room nowhere to hang clothes. Far too noisey and windows not good enough to block out any noise so therefore no sleep until gone 2am. The bar opens until midnight it does not state this on the description of the hotel when booking. Only vegetarian option at break - toast. Not acceptable for £125 a night
Clean room

“Cozy Place to enjoy London in a different way”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
The district itself is not the real London Feeling - but Overground and Underground is nearby.
It is a cozy place to stay in London - the team is extremely warm and friendly and it was a pleasure to stay at Buxton. The Advantage is the Pub - Unique, British, Good and Delicious. The Food is cooked at the Minute and very tasty. The Breakfast was top, Uptairs at the room you dont hear and feel the Pub - so you have two in One. I will be glad to come back again.

“The place to stay when visiting London. Pleasant staff and great vibe”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night

Room is a a little on the small side but as stated very much adequate for a single person or couple to relax comfortably.
Amazingly friendly and welcoming staff who were more than happy to answer any questions and offer advice. Room was cosy and has everything needed for a pleasant stay. Property is located in a fun neighbourhood with places to eat and drink and of course is conveniently a pub itself. Had a good evening vibe. Rooftop view is also a bonus. Better up there in summer though I bet. The Bluetooth speaker and USB wall socket are great. Property is secure and also has luggage storage is required which I always appreciate. Thank you to the staff when I return to London I will stay again and also mention to friends and family of my pleasant stay at The Buxton, London
