Good location, helpful staff and size room. No AC (typical of some properties in London) but an issue during hot days. Very noisy due to surrounding building AC or other equipment.

The positive: - Comfy bed - Good-looking room - Towel heater rack in the bathroom is a nice touch. - Very conveniently placed next to a train/tube/metro station and near restaurants and shops. -Staff was accommodating The negative: - No lift and narrow staircase: if you have a lot of luggage, or mobility issues (or both), you will not enjoy this - Single pane windows: you will hear any and every drunk screaming at 2 am. - No handsoap anywhere (you have to wash your hands with dishwashing soap or bodywash) - the bathroom door is a sliding door which slides one time out of 2. - Shower caddy was broken. - The coffee area is not very sanitary, considering the current pandemic (sugar cubes in a glass, coffee in a tin that previous guests used, etc.) - Some of the furniture needed repairs (missing handle, for example) - Single-ply toilet paper

Mixed experience

Positive: a) really friendly staff, b) location just opposite tube and very central, c) relatively large room for London; Negative: a) 4th floor without lift and has a steep stairways, b) very loud (no sound protection to stairways - other guests) or street (heating, A/C, deliveries to pub at night)

Quiet and comfortable. The ONLY inconvenient thing was walking 2.5 flights of stairs. However I only had to do it twice a day. Staff was very nice and helpful. Not intrusive yet responsive and helpful. Close to Underground and St. Paul’s, the Thames and excellent shopping (Bow Lane). Not a place to expect room service but food was really good. Very nice bathroom and kitchenette. It is essentially a nice 1 room flat with all the charm you would expect. Loved my 4-day stay.

Beautiful Apartment

This studio apartment was absolutely amazing. There is easy check in system and you can come and go as you please. The bed was extremely comfortable and anything you would need (e.g kettle, iron, toaster) is provided in the apartment. This is definetely where we will come back to stay when in London again.

I loved the ambience of The Three Cranes! The hotel/pub resides in The City of London which is a cool place and a tube station is just a few feet away. The rooms sit above a pub and mine was on the top floor. It was large and very well laid out. The only caution I would give is that there is no lift just a small stairway which was very easy to navigate but one must be prepared for that. The TV had Netflix and YouTube which I really enjoyed. I was in town to attend an important event and also working on final edits for a book I was writing. With that, I spent most of the time in my room and really enjoyed it. Its laid out like a small apartment with a small kitchen and all the things you would need including an umbrella. The pub and small eating area were fantastic! The best thing about the property was the staff who were very friendly and exceedingly helpful. Really enjoyed the place!

Amasing. I stayed in their studio. Much better service than in many hotels (even 4 stars) I stayed in.... All complimentary items were from very good brands. They even put dental and sleeping kits. Very clean, friendly. I would definitely stay there again.

Lovely studio flat, full of character

Very pleasant one night stay, straightforward check-in (here is the key, let me show you to your room from friendly staff), beautiful spacious room nicely decorated, nice bathroom with lovely shampoo etc, small kitchenette, all very clean. Don't think there was air conditioning (luckily it wasn't too hot), just a table fan.

Badly managed and maintained

In need of some maintenance. Glass shower door with only half the fitting on falls off if you move it. Sockets Hanging off the wall. Incredibly dangerous. Large clock with no battery in is annoying! Clean enough, but half used carton of milk in fridge. No shower gel only shampoo and conditioner. Keys in box on wall. Had someone waiting outside for the room I was in at 9am. Really not being managed or maintained very well.

The room was an excellent size, clean and the bed comfortable. The issues were, no soap, no tea or coffee makings, things I would have expected, even at London prices. I brought this up with the chap at the bar, admittedly as he was closing the bar for that is when my informed me. He went off to, I assume find some, and in his return stated that all he could do is offer to buy us coffee and or teat the following morning. Further, the cleaning of the pub and its facilities went on into the early morning and the noise created disturbed our sleep.
