The Angel of Bow

Really cute pub rooms decorated lovely! Didn’t realise it was shared toilets and showrooms when we booked but both toilets were clean and didn’t see the other guests! And nice outside courtyard to sit in

Let his book in early to go to a concert very friendly man helped us x lovely stay rooms very comfortable

Stayed for x2 nights for a gig in London Stadium. Comfortable stay apart for very hot weather. A fan was provided in room. Staff were amazing, couldn’t do enough! Food also very nice!

Unique Boho decor and friendly people but very noisy room by main street with noisy pelican crossing going off randomly from the early hours and very noisy fridge in the room. Very clean and comfortable bed.

Room was uniquely decorated and service was friendly. Shared bathrooms were clean, the carpets were more doubtful. Mattress could use an upgrade. WiFi did not work during the length of our stay. Entrance a bit depressing.

Beautiful

A lovely quirky place to stay above a nice pub. Shared facilities but clean and of good quality. Lovely bedroom, incredibly comfy bed. Although breakfast wasn't part of it, the host left cereal, croissants and milk and yoghurt in the fridge. There was facilities to make coffee and tea too. Would happily stay again.

Stayed here as I was participating in the 2025 marathon. The room was lovely and the service received was very good. The road was a bit busy outside all through the night but that cannot be helped. Would definitely stay again.

Very attractive and clean, comfortable room

We had a wonderful and great day. To tell you the truth, we had no clue what we were walking into. We didn’t realize that there were share bathrooms. But actually it wasn’t that bad at all. The place is very quiet and the staff are extremely friendly. The location sits above a pub in the community of Bow. The closest Underground is a 6 minute walk to Devon’s Road Station in the DLR. you can get to London attractions within 25 minutes. The room was clean, the place has two bathrooms… one with and tub; and one private shower room; so three separate w/c rooms altogether. All very clean. We felt very safe and the staff made us feel appreciated. The room was spacious and comfortable. This was our first shared bathroom experience . We only saw one other person the entire time. I would highly recommend.

We went to see ABBA so hotel was good location, unfortunately the location its self was awful. Room need a good clean, but food was very good.

Hemska sängar som man slog igenom och det var som att sova i en hängmatta. Inget badrum på rummet, detta framkom ej vid bokning. Läckande element inne på rummet och deras ”åtgärd” var en bunke. Vatten rinnande innanför rutorna och iskallt i både rummet och badrummet i korridoren. Frukosten var mini yoghurt, liten kartong med flingor samt en croissant i plastförpackning. Låg nära vid en tågstation, det vet det enda positiva. Rummet låg ut mot gatan och det var konstant trafikerat så det gick inte att sova pga mycket bilar och människor som förde oväsen.

I liked that it was very cozy and comfortable. Short distance to bus and DLR station :) The owner is great

I couldn't get hot water to run out of those taps no mater how long I left it on, kept running cold. Cant clean much with ice cold water, I didn't try the bathtub though. but I sure wanted to. Also thermostat in my room didn't work? got very cold at night. I wanted to like this place but it wasn't very warm. You could hear a full blow convo on the street. like the windows were wide open, Im not a light sleeper tg, but if you are, bring plugs.

Gorgeous decor and feel to the rooms and great food and cocktails. We loved our stay.

Lovely pub, good beer and comfortable room.

Staff were nice but there was confusion about payment and breakfast. Also the room shared bathroom/toilet with the other rooms but nothing like this was noted on the listing. The room had no heating on.

The shower and bathroom is not in the actual room and this was not communicated in the listing at all. I feel like this is a significant issue - I wouldn't have paid the price I paid, if I knew I was sharing a bathroom and shower and so I feel like they hide this information on their listing to try and drive more custom. I don't want to pay over 100 pounds a night for a room that I don't even have a bathroom in. I really felt cheated and annoyed by this and this was a shame because I liked the place and just wish I didn't have this feeling. I also think the check in time is totally outrageous - 4:30pm! This is totally unacceptable - again for the price point. I have stayed in loads of hotels around London and there has never been a 4:30pm check in time. The room was good/comfortable and it had a comfortable bed. The hosts are really nice people and the bar is a good place to drink in. The room was clean and it is in a good location for the DLR. They provide some breakfast options in the room, which was good/helpful.

Friendly staff, lovely room. I had a very peaceful stay

You need to know what this is, and isn’t. Although a simple breakfast is put on a tray outside your room, it would be a stretch to call it a B&B - the room was spacious and nicely decorated and furnished. The rooms are accessed from a side gate and yard into the back of the pub building but effectively they are separate from the pub. The rooms share three facilities - a shower room, a bathroom with sink and toilet and a toilet with a sink. All nicely presented and clean. The Angel of Bow pub is funky and pleasant - every member of staff we encountered was friendly. But the rooms to all intents and purposes are unstaffed. Our issues were that the mattress was incredibly soft to the extent that it led to uncomfortable nights. And the noise from the main road directly outside the pub was fairly considerable. Ultimately we’re glad we tried this - there is lots to commend but we’ll probably try somewhere else next time we’re in the area.
