At Fox and Anchor, travellers describe a charming boutique pub stay in a handy London spot near Farringdon and Barbican, while noting trade-offs like steep stairs due to no lift and some maintenance or cleanliness lapses.
Rooms are stylish and comfortable—some spacious, some compact—and generally quiet, though several reviews report Wi‑Fi/TV problems. Service is often warm and welcoming, but the bar‑based check‑in can feel slow or impersonal, and a strict 3 pm policy plus a past system outage frustrated some arrivals. The on‑site pub draws repeated praise for tasty food and a lively atmosphere. Expect a characterful pub‑hotel with charm and a few practical compromises.

Facilities
On-site pub/restaurant is a highlight with a lively atmosphere and good food mentioned across reviews. The historic building lacks an elevator, and check-in happens at the bar rather than a dedicated front desk.

We wanted somewhere near the Barbican hall 10 mins walk) We arrived to a packed pub & underwhelming checkin. But from there it was fabulous! Room lovely. Spotlessly clean, great decor & so comfortable. Aircon a bonus at my age lol. Wonky toilet seat part of 'quirky' ;) We ate in the pub, staff were so lovely & the food spot on. We sat in a little booth, it was cute. Wine good & all round great buzzing atmosphere. The walk to our concert was 10 mins. Coming back the pub was pretty much closed but the guys got us drinks to take up. Our room was so quiet... We didn't go for breakfast but can only imagine it wld be lovely. A really good option in the City & one we will definitely do again. Of course you can complain abt things however nothing spoilt our enjoyment of this stay! (Be mindful if you have mobility issues this is an old building, narrow stairs over 3 floors)

The system to check-in was down for hours resulting in delayed check-in. There is no proper hotel desk for check-in, You have to to go the bar counter which is overcrowded and the staff at the bar is not even interested to listen.

This is a cute boutique hotel. It's part of the pub and takes you back in time to a different era. Our room was a charming suite with a copper bath tub, a skylight in the living room, and our own private patio with a living room setup. Rooms were romantic and comfy. We'll definitely return. Note, there are no elevators in this hotel. We were on the second floor so we only had to haul our luggage up one flight but that could've been more burdensome if we had to walk up another flight.

Supertrevligt hotell ovanpå en klassisk brittisk pub. Nära Farrington Station och smidigt att ta sig till och från hotellet. Tyvärr hade restaurangen slut på nästan allt på menyn när vi skulle äta vilket var synd. Rummet var jättefint och erbjöd snacks gratis, det uppskattades! Det som drar ner mitt betyg är att fönstret inte gick att stänga. I och med minusgrader utomhus var det väldigt kallt i rummet. Jag försökte med AC att dra upp tempen men den lät väldigt högt och är nog i behov av en rejäl service. Kommer jag bo här igen? Ja! (Om de löser fönsterna).

The room was small but very charming. We only stayed one night, so it worked for us; however, if we had been staying longer, it would have been tight or cluttered with our suitcases and surface area to put your daily items, like a crossbody, wallet, etc. The bathroom was a good size as well. We were on the top floor, so getting luggage up and down really sucked. Even though I knew in advance the staircase could be an issue, it was still a shock to go up four floors with full-sized luggage! Oops! We got there early, and at any hotel, an early check-in is always a gamble, but I was a little surprised that they were so strict about the 3:00 pm check-in. Usually, if a room is ready early, you can access it sooner. Not a huge deal for us as we went straight into sightseeing, but if you are hoping to get in early, it is likely not possible. The staff were friendly and accommodating in holding our luggage in a locked area. We had a plumbing issue, and they resolved it right away, even though it was late at night. The pub was close to multiple subway stations, which was great. We unfortunately didn't eat or drink at the pub so can't speak to that.

Overall this was a nice boutique hotel. The rooms have a lot of character and a vintage feel, in a cool way. The room was clean, spacious, and had all the amenities you could need. In a great area of London, lots of shops, pubs, restaurants, and public transit. The reason I give 4 stars is bc the check-in process is not quite 4star and the bathroom sink didn’t drain well.

We got there early, and at any hotel, an early check-in is always a gamble, but I was a little surprised that they were so strict about the 3:00 pm check-in. Usually, if a room is ready early, you can access it sooner. Not a huge deal for us as we went straight into sightseeing, but if you are hoping to get in early, it is likely not possible. The staff were friendly and accommodating in holding our luggage in a locked area. We had a plumbing issue, and they resolved it right away, even though it was late at night. The pub was close to multiple subway stations, which was great. We unfortunately didn't eat or drink at the pub so can't speak to that.

Bra läge med närheten till Elizabeth line som tar en hela vägen från Heatrow. Stora rum och härligt badrum. Sköna sängar dessutom! Rekommenderas

We wanted somewhere near the Barbican hall 10 mins walk) We arrived to a packed pub & underwhelming checkin. But from there it was fabulous! Room lovely. Spotlessly clean, great decor & so comfortable. Aircon a bonus at my age lol. Wonky toilet seat part of 'quirky' ;) We ate in the pub, staff were so lovely & the food spot on. We sat in a little booth, it was cute. Wine good & all round great buzzing atmosphere. The walk to our concert was 10 mins. Coming back the pub was pretty much closed but the guys got us drinks to take up. Our room was so quiet... We didn't go for breakfast but can only imagine it wld be lovely. A really good option in the City & one we will definitely do again. Of course you can complain abt things however nothing spoilt our enjoyment of this stay! (Be mindful if you have mobility issues this is an old building, narrow stairs over 3 floors)

Overall this was a nice boutique hotel. The rooms have a lot of character and a vintage feel, in a cool way. The room was clean, spacious, and had all the amenities you could need. In a great area of London, lots of shops, pubs, restaurants, and public transit. The reason I give 4 stars is bc the check-in process is not quite 4star and the bathroom sink didn’t drain well.

Old fashioned property with modern facilities. Carpet could have been cleaner and the sofa had stains on it. Great location. Friendly helpful staff. I liked the place. I did break my toe on the bed leg but that was my fault not the hotels.

Supertrevligt hotell ovanpå en klassisk brittisk pub. Nära Farrington Station och smidigt att ta sig till och från hotellet. Tyvärr hade restaurangen slut på nästan allt på menyn när vi skulle äta vilket var synd. Rummet var jättefint och erbjöd snacks gratis, det uppskattades! Det som drar ner mitt betyg är att fönstret inte gick att stänga. I och med minusgrader utomhus var det väldigt kallt i rummet. Jag försökte med AC att dra upp tempen men den lät väldigt högt och är nog i behov av en rejäl service. Kommer jag bo här igen? Ja! (Om de löser fönsterna).

I really liked the room we were presented with, bath in the room, mini bar well stocked and above a pub, which we stayed during the week and wasn't noisy at all. Robes in room and food downstairs, nice touch. Worth the money, the check in was easy, there was mild confusion with trying to take food up to our room for my daughter who was wanting to take a bath, but other than that is was a GEM of a stay and will recommend! The tea and expresso in room were complimentary.

Arriving is a little dodgy - we got there around noon, and had plans to meet friends. They wouldn't check us in, and told us if we got back after 11PM (when the pub closes) we would be unable to check in. They did hold our bags. This made us have to burn some time until 3PM when they could check us in, so we would have a key to re-enter later. Not super convenient. The room was 4 flights up, no lift, no offer to help with luggage, so if you are not pretty fit, look elsewhere. The stair was really narrow and uneven, with grimy carpets. The room itself at least had good air conditioning. The bed was very, very soft, not ideal. Not a large room, and the desk was completely covered with the minibar snacks, etc... so not a great place if you have any work to do. The bathroom was large enough, but not level, and the shower had a broken handle and water leaked out of the corner of the enclosure all over the floor. The area is good for transportation - right by Barbican Victoria line and Ferringdon Station for easy connection to Heathrow and Luton and elsewhere. Probably wouldn't stay again, especially at the rate we paid.
