Whilst this property looks appealling in the Times photos, the current reality is very different. I arrived at the property and was shown to a room where I was immediately hit by a musty, humid smell. Despite trying to air the room the stale air permeated. The pictures on the website also did not reflect the rough finish with small hole in the corners of the room. The bedding did not look clean when I arrived and I certainly did not feel inclined to sit on the bed or the dinghy and discoloured chair covering. The pictures on the website, which were clearly taken when the rooms were freshly decorated, do not represent the current tired look of the room I was shown. The response from the property owners is that I should expect some wear and tear and the property is described as rustic. There is rustic and there is downright shabby, neglected and in need of a complete refresh.

Excellent pub hotel
I'm really happy I found the Culpeper, much nicer place to stay for the same price (or lower) than a cheap chain hotel. Well located for central London, just a few minutes walk from East Aldgate tube. It's really just a few rooms above the pub, but the rooms are comfy, with much more character than the many overpriced places I've stayed in London. Comfy bed, nice shower, WiFi is good. All I need for a 1 night stay on business. Breakfast is served in a sister pub about 5 minutes walk away. Nice food and really friendly service. I'll certainly recommend.

Check in was fine, called and messaged to ensure room was clean, because it was a bday celebration, lots of stray hair on bed and throw(on bed) otherwise clean. Good breakfast and terrace bar. Check out was horrible, seems like there is no one person in charge, two girls who had 0 hospitality experience were rude, declined requests to honour a checkout at 12 pm, fine but then act completely pathetic after I hand over the keys, keeps staring at me while I sit in the pub downstairs and check emails, do not thank me for my stay, has a rude and condescending demeanour as if I was paid to stay at their hotel! the entire time. Really off putting the two women were - they need a degree in hospitality and relevant experience.

Rustic charm and great service from the staff. We received a warm welcome (and an unexpected welcome drink). Location was fantastic, breakfast was great and we would stay again.

Fantastic stay
Absolutely excellent stay. Great hotel with interesting rooms. A special thanks to Callum and Peter for looking after us so well. Nothing was too much trouble. Our only regret was our busy agenda, we would have loved to spend more time in the bar and restaurant. Great roof top bar too. Thanks for everything guys, we'll definitely be back.

It was a tad too hot in the room, but with the windows open during the day it was all fine. Aside from that, The Culpeper was perfect.
