The Duke of York Gastro Pub 45 Harrowby Street, London W1H 5HT

"The drinks selection here is really good along with the snack selection. However the atmosphere is seriously lacking: the music is quiet, the bar staff are cold, the atmosphere is stale and the place feels more of a halfway house than a comfortable pub."

"We booked a room here for 1 night when we visited London for personal reasons. At first the room looked okay but on closer inspection the pillows did not have protectors on and the actual pillows were YELLOW with stains.I checked both pillows and even the 2 spare ones on the shelving unit, and they were all the same. When we complained about this, we were told that all pillows in the hotel are the same and that the covers always get changed and are clean - so what was the problem? I explained that they should have protectors on for a start but also just because the covers are clean, it still leaves the pillow dirty! The man also said they don’t change pillows all the time, just like they don’t change mattresses all the time. The man didn’t quite get it and kept referring to the fact that the covers were clean on and we should have been satisfied with that. He offered us to have a few more pillow cases on per pillow but I just couldn’t settle. A quick inspection of the mattress showed that it had a protector on but the actual mattress was grubby and had stains on too. The carpet was also extremely dusty around the edges, paintwork messy, stained toilet, and generally dusty on lampshades. The phone also didn’t work. We had to leave that tonight and find somewhere else as the manager was called and ‘couldn’t offer us a refund’. No apologies were made either. Just avoid!!"

"This pub is a little peaceful gem amidst the otherwise bustling Central London area! The owner is lovely and the food was not only reasonably priced but arrived quickly and tasted scrumptious. The place itself has been tastefully decorated and facilities were nice and clean. Will stop by again :)"

"Nice food, lovely service, loved the cider on tap"

"A nice very local type pub. Sorry the chef couldn’t make it tonight I was looking forward to a local chew. I’ll come back and check it out another time."
