First review on here as I don't dish them out easily. The pub was really busy when I arrived due to Christmas parties but they afforded the time to deal with me to make sure I was settled and showed me to the room - which was excellent.
Communication was great, they were welcoming throughout and a lovely breakfast in the morning.

Ideal location near yo King’s Cross Station. Small but clean room with toiletries, tea and coffee making facilities, hairdryer. Delicious breakfast cooked to order, plus other options and as much teas and coffee as you like which can be eaten in the dining room or your bedroom. Friendly and helpful staff who are welcoming and are happy to give advice if you have any questions or concerns. You are welcome to leave your luggage either before you check or after if you are not leaving London straight away.

Great hotel and pub. However, there is a homeless problem in the neighborhood and police activity during the night. I never felt unsafe but quite a bit of noise outside the windows.

Sheila greeted us on arrival. Sophia to Tomir, and other staff were all friendly and helpful.,
Very clean Rm 4. Despite being on top of pub, noise subsided at unknown hour but we fell asleep at 9 pm. Quiet at 11 pm.
Very close to train and subway stations. Less than 10 min walk.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay! Super friendly staff, perfectly clean room and excellent location for us! Me and my two daughters loved it here!
8.0
This is not a hotel. It’s an inn with very few rooms above a pub. Expedia should make that clear in their description. A three story walk up with no “hotel” amenities is fine if that’s what you expect but you would never know that based on how it is described on Expedia website.

Our second time staying here and we love it.
A great base if you are happy to be out of inner London.
We walked to our theatre show which was approx 35 mins walk.
The rooms are basic but clean and the breakfast is amazing!
We ate in the bar Sat evening too and the food was delicious.
All of the team work very hard to create a friendly, welcoming vibe and hopefully they will overcome the struggle to potential closure later this year.

When booking a small English hotel this is *exactly* what I was looking for. Little neighborhood pub on the ground floor (excellent food, BTW), quirky little hallway up the winding staircase to our room. Clean, super hot water, tea in room. I was extremely bummed to miss breakfast due to an early flight. Also easy walk from the train station!

A very quaint stay in Central London. Very near King’s Cross train station (convenient).
Good pubs and food options and lots to see around there.
Nice neighborhood. It’s a hotel above a really cool pub/venue.
Breakfast was awesome!
We recommend this spot and would stay again.

When visiting we expected th Harrison to be of excellent standard from the Hotel.com website, unfortunately we were disappointed after what we had spent. My main issues were that the bathroom smelled of waste all of the time, breakfast was good and good but not excellent

Lovely welcoming rooms above a pub. The staff were very helpful, even offering to take my bags upstairs for me. The room (3) was a good size with en-suite and desk. It’s a short walk from King’s Cross station. I would stay here again

The property was good as far as location goes to St Pancreas station. We found the shower facilities very small, it must also be noted that room access is via some very steep narrow stairs - there doesnt appear to be lift facilities. We sre not sure if we hit a particularly busy night at the pub but until the bar closed it was noisy.

What a gem! The pub had such a local flavor, bohemian. It was lively, with locals patronizing the pub. Sunday roast beef dinner was excellent. It was a hidden gem. We will recommend to others.
4.0
Sweet place to stay...not quiet (above a bar) and also no AC (so windows must stay open, contributing to the noise issue. Also, long staircase to get to first floor.
Really nice greeting and easy check in though. Room was clean and served its purpose.

It was a charming little pub with really polite employees. We were greeted very warmly and the food was also delicious.The pub itself had various options of beer and food,especially for vegetarian.Our room was small but it's been enough for us. On foot the train station was easily accessible.We had a great time enjoying our vacation!

Nice place close to Kings Cross. Quiet street. Room above a pub so a little noisy until closing time but that’s part of the appeal. Don’t stay here if stairs are an issue for you.

The welcome at The Harrison was fantastic, Jane was really friendly and welcoming. The room was very clean and comfortable. Lication is fantastic, really close to Euston and Kings cross stations. Food & drink was great. I'd definitely stay here again when visiting London.

I chose The Harrison because it seemed different than a standard run of the mill hotel and was reasonably close to Russel square where I needed to be. In terms of appearance and room quality facility it more than met expectations (wasn't too expensive either), as this was an older building where much effort has gone to convert it to modern standards. The pub downstairs was great, with excellent food and value and the breakfast was very nice indeed (for me a simple breakfast is all I wanted and there were plenty of choices). It was ready on time too per instructions. The check-in, which was late (after 11PM arrival from the airport) was helpful and though the room was upstairs, with steep staircase, they helped me with my luggage. I didn't mind otherwise the upstairs location as it was quiet and generally comfortable). The staff found an adapter for me the next morning which I needed too, so that worked out.
For those looking for something a little different and a touch of the old local London unburdened by too many tourists this facility is great. The taxi they ordered for me was there on time and reasonably priced (20 pounds less than the trip from the airport!). It's also a nice walk to the Russel center area but takes a bit longer than specified (about 18 minutes to Russel square) but still, it's a pleasant residential area of central London to walk through.
The main reason for 1 star less than I'd give, is the shower which remained too hot, no matter what I tried.

Location was great for proximity to transportation and the pub is very friendly and a nice vibe. Room is bare bones but hey you are in London and the price is right. Breakfast is ready when you are. Note: if you want to go to bed before 23:00 and it is summer you will get noise from below. And because no air conditioning you have to keep windows open. Pub makes good food and it’s a good deal and fun.
