"The rooms at the Blackbird seem really plush and new - they don't seem to have taken a lot of hammer by the general public like lots of London hotels, so the general vibe is nice smelling, clean and pleasant."

“The Blackbird makes a compelling case for itself, stepping out from the shadow of its neighbor, Hotel Indigo, with its own distinct charm and culinary prowess; despite a few housekeeping hiccups, the rooms are cozy, classy, and notably well-air-conditioned, a welcome respite in London. I especially appreciated the emphasis on homemade food and drink, giving the pub a genuine feel, plus it is a particularly family-friendly base for exploring the Natural History Museum and other nearby attractions. Overall, it's a solid choice for a London stay.”
