I was just happy they accommodated me 1 minute before closing A little pricey, but my fish 'n chips were delicious! I also had a wonderful glass of Prosecco, and probably 1 of the most expensive water in a glass bottle! Lol! But overall I had a wonderful experience. Service was good. read more

We stayed for 3 nights prior to a Princess cruise around the UK arriving 8/28-check out 8/30. The location is perfect-less than 3 blocks to the Tower of London perimeter with an underground ground station, multiple HOHO main stops AND a stop for the famous double decker red London buses. On the recommendation of front desk staff we opted for the public bus service with bus #15 route taking us within easy walking distance of Westminster Abbey, multiple museums, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, Houses of Parliament and Thames river boat taxis. We opted for the deluxe room with included daily breakfast. Lovely, clean, comfortable and quiet room with amenities coffee, teas, chocolates, stocked mini fridge, nice bath. Breakfast was wonderful with excellent service and good choices from the menu as well as a breakfast buffet. Front desk staff always helpful and arranged for taxi service for the Victoria Coach Station for our transfer to the cruise ship in Southampton. Again, a top notch location for maximum sightseeing in London with limited time to spend. read more

Truly a great hotel! The staff was accommodating from the beginning even before our check in! We stayed there 2 nights and it was very spacious and comfortable! The breakfast was nice but we got downstairs at 9am and they had no bread, only cereals and few slices of cheese. We upgraded and got the full English breakfast which was truly delicious!! In our hotel room some outlets didn't work and the light in the bathroom didn't work. It did take the staff a while to fix them. But the fact you get a cellphone to use is a huge bonus so I didn't have to use my cell and get into charges! You get a robe, slippers and the mini fridge refilled daily (waters, beers and milk) and the teas etc. when I come back to London I will deff stay here again! read more

The Chamberlain - Pubs Near Me - London, XGL

See all

Very nice boutique hotel. Very clean, very well maintained. Pub has very good food. Short walk to two different tube stations. Friendly staff. Really nothing to complain about. I'll stay there again. Tower of London is a five minute walk, as is the Thames, shopping and restaurants. read more

Eh. Okay, I guess......I stayed at the Chamberlain during their bar and restaurant renovation which is rather unfortunate because one of the reasons I had chosen this hotel was to have a bar and restaurant (however I booked it months ahead of time non refundable- so my bad). They had sent an email informing us ahead of time regarding the construction but it was high tourist season and I did not want to bother trying to get out of the non-refundable rate. The Good: Great staff. Very friendly and helpful. Very clean. Good location/ walkable to Tower of London and St Katharine Docks In exchange for no restaurant, there were daily breakfast bags filled with apple, banana, oatmeal, granola bar. Bar was stocked (free) with beer, juice an yogurt. There was a free smart phone that you were provided to use during your stay (we did not use ours). Nice bathroom. The Bad: Room was very small. King bed was very small and very uncomfortable. (I had stayed in another London hotel across town few nights before and the king sized beds were def. not the same size. The Chamberlian "king" was so small, that I confirmed with the front desk we were in the correct room). Lobby was pretty much just a front desk, no bathrooms, no bar, no restaurant. Neighborhood was not necessarily as quiet as I had read in reviews--- there were several loud bars across the street. Bar brawls in the street late at night. We had a large ceiling leak-- it was fixed as soon as we noticed, but I was under the impression that they had recently renovated the rooms. It was a significant leak. Overall: It was not the experience I was expecting based upon previous reviews. I wish I had stayed at the other London hotel across the city. Room was cramped and the construction was evident. read more

We have been here for a week already. Love all of the staff, great location.

Went here for a few drinks. Enjoyed a few British Pints from a decent collection of beer. The bar tends to get a bit busy even on a Tuesday evening! Brits sure do enjoy their after work drinks! read more

This is a review for both the hotel and the bar. The hotel: Located in Whitechapel, very close to Aldgate subway station. Short walking distance to the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. The Gherkin is also nearby. Staff was very pleasant and courteous throughout our 2 night stay. We didn't get an early check-in or an upgrade due to space availability, but the room we did get was very spacious, with plenty of room, and good sized bathroom. It was very quiet, save for occasional door slam and creaky floor above. It's an old building, so it was to be expected. The room is pleasantly furnished, with comfortable beds and linens. There was a mini fridge in our room with complimentary beers and water, which was a nice surprise. Coffee maker, bath robes, and all other usual hotel amenities were also included. The restaurant/bar Good atmosphere and pleasant staff. The Romanian bartender, whose name I can't recall, was especially helpful. Good selection of drinks. Had one of their deserts - a strange concoction of caramel ice cream, whipped cream, raspberries and peach. It wasn't bad, but that particular combination of flavors and textures did not appeal to me all that much. Other than that, everything was great. We got free drinks each through signing for their WiFi (the email does not come immediately, so be forewarned). Would definitely stay again. read more

Popped in here during a rainstorm hoping for some comfort food and a quick drink. Turned out to be a good choice. We had oak smoked salmon and pickled samphire and triple cooked chips and side salad. Was very tasty and very good value. The coffee was good to. Above all, however, was how polite, friendly and attentive the staff were, allowing us lots of time for order and checking on us regularly. If your after a quick bite to eat from a very varied and interesting menu in the city and you have a medium to low budget, the Chamberlain is spot on! read more

I hadn't really realized that Fullers did hotels until I came here. On one hand this is good as the drinks choice and quality is better than you would generally expect of a hotel bar. On the other hand my favourite thing about hotel bars is that they are usually quiet and more intimate than regular bars. This one is massive and so not intimate by any stretch of the information. Unfortunately the fact that it is in a hotel means that they can charge a bit more than they otherwise might. Why is the food in Fullers pubs so expensive? It's not really gastro quality. It looks very nice, very posh. The ale was good. I would probably pay it a visit if I was actually staying in the hotel, but if you were looking for somewhere to drink in the area, you could probably find better, unless you are a hardcore Fullers fan. read more

Not bad at all, friendly staff and helpful, just a little quiet for a weekend, but this is the city I suppose.

Note- this is a review for the hotel, not the bar/restaurant. We were headed down to london for a quick weekend so i could attend a meet and greet with the charity i was running the london marathon for. cue cheap flight booking and booking.com to the rescue with a cheap hotel deal. we paid £250 for two nights, which in central london is a steal! this place was ideally located a ten minute walk from liverpool street station and right near the gerkin building. easy to get round to any part of london on all underground lines and lots of restaurants nearby. on initial arrival i was a bit wary as the reception looked a bit tired, the bar was rowdy, and we were told the lift was broken and we'd need to walk up three flights of stairs to our room. just what a person training for a marathon wants to hear! but once we got up the flights of stairs (it wasn't so bad to be honest) and into the actual hotel bit of the building i was really pleasantly surprised. the corridors were clean with what looked like newish carpet and fresh paint. our room was massive, super clean, nicely bright, with a big comfy bed and spacious bathroom. i think i'd read that the hotel had been refurbished recently and all the decor looked quite new and modern. it was a really lovely room for two nights in a great location for us and a steal with the price we got off booking.com. i'd definitely recommend the hotel, but possibly avoid the bar as that looked much less welcoming than the hotel rooms on offer. read more

This is a comfortable hotel with really helpful & friendly staff. The roons are very clean and well appointed, great comfy beds and the room servicing is efficient and thorough. The only gotcha is that tge kitchen closes at 10pm so if you get in late, dining options are limited and there's not much in the areas that's open late. But it's a nice hotel & I'd definitely stay here again. read more

Not to my liking very old fashioned, didn't find anything in the menu to my Liking, the rooms were very cold even with the heater on.

Agree with the Happy Moose, food more expensive than your average and the bar area is large. Also, yes, excellent array of drinks choice, really nice pint of Seafarers Ale. Would say though, that even if not a traditional 'snug' atmosphere, the large bar area has a different feel to it, which is good in a different way jolly, quite noisy, more like a clubby hubbub, which I prefer, so just a matter of taste and preference. The food was excellent, real chips, burger twice as big as an alligator's yawn, friendly staff and speedy service. Good menu choice. And, free WiFi if you need a handy stop off point for a quick on-line fix, there's a handy power point by the long large bench table just behind the door to plug in your gadgets, oodles of room for your laptop, micro mouse, pint glass, nibbles and a lightning fast signal excellent! Recommended. read more

I've stayed here on several occasions, and often have friends stay here. The rooms are large (especially for London), the prices are reasonable, there's a pub downstairs, and it's right next to the City. read more

I booked a room for a week using Travelocity and, in spite of having an email with a confirmation number, the desk manager refused to give me a room. I was in town for a conference, had just gotten off an overnight flight and found myself in London without a hotel room! The desk clerk didn't even offer to help me find another room in the city. He was horribly, horribly rude. read more

I'm a totally foodie and went in with low expectations after the reviews I read, but it was fine! Nice clean pub. TVs to watch sports. The mushroom risotto was really good and I tried the brownie desert. It was amazing. You have to order at the bar (maybe because it was so busy) so wasn't like normal service but it was just fine. I'd go back! read more
