Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Marrable's Farringdon Hotel offers a comfortable stay with spacious rooms; the Queen Deluxe rooms are particularly appreciated. The hotel's location is a definite plus, being within walking distance of Farringdon station and well-served by buses for easy access to central London and areas like Hoxton and Dalston, and the hotel offers access to coffee machines and water. While some guests have found the windows difficult to fully close for optimal darkness, the plentiful breakfast is a highlight for many, with a variety of options available.

Wonderful stay!

short walk excellent service interesting sight convenient location
I found the location convenient. It was only a short walk to the train station. This provided connections to airports and various underground lines. The staff excelled with perfect service and readiness to assist. The area has pubs, eateries, and interesting sights.
I noticed one very minor issue, the closure of the restaurant was communicated quite late.

adequate stay near farringdon

convenient location lovely staff comfortable bed hot room frayed carpet missing iron
The location was very convenient near the station. the staff were lovely. i made use of the pantry for morning coffee. The pantry in the hallway was a good amenity. the bed was also comfortable.
The room was far too hot. I was given a fan on request though. i found the air con only went as low as 19 degrees. the carpet was frayed near the bathroom. i had to ask for an iron and ironing board twice.

Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

dated room subpar breakfast
The room felt somewhat outdated. The PVC windows looked quite old. Breakfast was also subpar. I expected a higher standard (especially given the price).

lackluster stay

low shower pressure small room
the hotel location worked, especially for getting around using public transport.
i did expect more for the price, honestly. my room, a so called 'club double room', was smaller than advertised, and the shower pressure was practically nonexistent. i mean, seriously, how are you supposed to rinse your hair with a trickle of water?

the location near farringdon station made travel easy for me. the room was very super clean and cozy for the duration. breakfast offered a lovely french menu..
I found there was no toothpaste available at reception. i was a bit bothered by the red lighting in the room.. it felt a little off. the fizzy water in the fridges outside my room was the only option. I would have preferred still water.
