The place was wicked , really friendly n safe, staff were helpful n happy .. loved the space .. great discount on drinks as a guest .. Just was the old breakfast menu in the tools which you had at the sister hotel down the road .. was looking forwards to the full English but only continental available .. which to be fair was real nice .. just thought was worth a mention. .. would stay again for sure!

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.

The pub/hotel was easy to find. The food looked great, although I didn't eat. The rooms were up two flights of stairs, wasn't too challenging. The room was nice enough, very clean and full of character. The biggest drawback was due to the very central location in London was the traffic noise. At times it was deafening, I struggled to sleep due to it. Unfortunately a massive drawback but otherwise a lovely pleasant stay. They really need to invest in soundproofing

The "real" London

With a central location in Whitecapel, the hotel is ideal for exploring London. The hotel is located above a pub and a (fantastic) restaurant and that is the main business. Therefore, it is necessary to enter the hotel yourself with a code before 12 noon. The hotel is located in an old building so expect worn stairs, patina, slightly crooked floors, etc. The rooms are nice and original. For example, we had a fireplace (that was bricked up) in our room. Charming. So if you don't want a standard hotel with nice straight hallways and chrome and glass, then the Culpeper is the hotel for you. In my opinion, we are 3-4 stars. Would I book Culpeper again? Yes, definitely.

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.

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.

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.
