    Hot water issues during the second night, no breakfast the first morning due to a fuze issue, the facilities are a little over used and would certainly worthed being replaced or refreshed.

    very well located, not so expensive, good atmosphere at the pub during the evenings The personel is quite friendly and welcoming

    It was cheaper but not by enough to balance out the condition of the rooms. You'd be happier paying the extra for another one.

    We was booked into the top floor room and sadly there was no lift on site! Not very disability friendly! The room is located above a pub which is nice howver the menu hasn’t got a great selection of food The shower did have a lot of mould in it!

    Staff were very friendly and Willing to help! You also get 20% off food in the pub when you are staying there!

    The room was clean enough for me but the carpet under the bed probably does not get vacuumed often.

    The staff were absolutely fantastic; polite, courteous and very helpful. They really do make this a good place to stay. The facilities were reasonable for the price.

    There were a couple of things that we mentioned to the staff I.e broken shower, no hot water…that were not resolved but we weren’t there too long for this to be a major issue but they are things that need to be addressed. I believe from a staff member we were speaking to that the building is listed and so it is very difficult to make alterations and upgrades due to this and can appreciate their struggles.

    The food was amazing, the staff were friendly and the beds were really comfortable

    Not Quite What I Expected.
    • Business trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Large Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    I would have liked a breakfast that was more than self service continental and the staff could have been a little more helpful but in fairness the pub was extremely busy. Also the bathroom was exceptionally small and tight to fit in to.

    You have to remember this is a very busy pub, so it is noisy and the food is pub grub and not fine dinning, so set your expectations accordingly. The bed however was very comfortable and the noise levels in the room are none existent, so a good nights sleep is easily achievable. Considering the price of the hotels around you and their cost in comparison, the Fox is quite good value. I will use this again for future visits.

    It was extremely hot. The weather was cold and raining and even with a window open it felt like the middle of the summer. The room didn't cool down to a more comfortable temperature until early hours of the morning.

    Everything was exactly as expected. The bed was big and comfortable. Everything was clean

    First room we were given, no heating, as it wasn’t working. The only other room they had, didn’t have a lock on the front door but could be locked from the inside, So we were unable to leave our room during our stay. Which was a shame as we would have gone down to use restaurant. Breakfast isn’t served until 8am so if you have an early flight you miss out on breakfast. They did say they would refund some money back for the inconvenience of the broken lock but no refund was given.

    Location to the airport.

    The breakfast was very continental and rather plain. You could ask for extras, and the personal was happy to help, but the choices were limited. The view from my room was onto a highway onramp, but I have not spend enough time in my room to appreciate it.

    The Fox is within walking distance from the Excel Center and London City Airport. I can have a full day at the trade show got out for dinner, walk to my room and to my plane the next morning. It is a Pub with rooms atop so nothing fancy. My bed was great, I had WiFi in my room and enjoyed a long hot shower.

    There are many stairs to climb if you are on the top floor, but other than that it was a pleasant stay!

    Spacious room, clean and tidy on arrival. Nice pub downstairs for which you get a discount in. Great location, only a few minutes walk to the closest train station and affordable for London!
