Exploring Europe

Our stay was good and comfortable Only issue was getting our luggage down the stairs on an early morning check out Older people would struggle with doing that

Lovely "retro" feel room with elegant bathroom. Away from main bar area so quiet, comfy beds and good room amenities.

We were staying in the old end of the hotel and I must say it was very tired service was good and bed very comfortable we informed management of our situation and they were very nice and gave us a reasonable discount of the bill we hope when we return things will have changed

Great hotel. Friendly and clean next to Clapham Common and easy walk to the tube!

Amazing staff and great location. Lots of cute shops and cafes near by. Only downside is it’s a ten minute walk to the subway but other than that it’s a 10/10

Quintessentially British

The hotel is quintessential British in its decor and feel. Hotel rooms are spread across multiple half levels, so be ready to climb a few small sets of stairs with your luggage. The room we stayed in hadn’t been renovated, but it was still lovely and faced the parking lot and Clapham Common, which provided some privacy and quiet. There was dust on the table, and a water reservoir cover missing from the Nescafé espresso maker. The bathroom had a slow clearing drain. Overall the room was in good condition. Its such a great hotel in terms of location, pricing, size, and food that I look forward to going back next year if not before!

Rediscovering Clapham as former residents

We really enjoyed our stay, and we have already shared our experience with others. The room was in above average condition, and it was surprisingly quiet despite facing the restaurant/pub. The shower pressure was great. If I had to provide constructive criticism, I would recommend that the flooring and shower stall be upgraded.

Lovely

The hotel is absolutely lovely and the staff were all brilliant, would definitely stay again. The only problem was that in the morning whoever was above us was walking around a lot and the floor boards are extremely creaky so we didn't sleep that well after 8am.

A lovely quirky hotel in a great position on the edge of Clapham Common. If I had one negative comment it would be to provide bigger coffee cups in the room.

4/10 Fair

Great location, awful room

Great location, comfortable beds but that's about it. Our room was very tired, not very clean and extremely dark. Mould in the bathroom, chipped furniture, dirty curtains. Very expensive for what it is. Location is excellent and it was quiet.

Wonderful weekend stay at The Windmill in Clapham

We're so glad that we decided to spend a weekend at the Windmill in Clapham. It was so nice waking up to a view of the Common instead of big buildings, our room was spacious and charming, the restaurant downstairs was lively and fun, and the surrounding neighborhood was really lovely. Highly recommend staying here if the purpose of your visit is to enjoy London as the locals do rather than as a sight-seeing tourist, although the tube is nearby and it's easy to jump on the Northern Line to get anywhere else. I hope we can say here again soon.

This is an older building currently (summer 2024) undergoing renovations so the hallways are not in the best of conditions and you will see construction folks around during the day (didn't hear any noise though). That being said, the rooms and bathrooms are quite spacious (got a double) for London quarters. The shower itself was a bit small but there is a tub with shower if needed and the toiletries provided are nice (sustainable re-fill bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, and lotion). Staff are friendly and the reception desk is staffed 24/7, which was great since we arrived after midnight and got the full welcome. We had breakfast twice, once the continental and once a la cart, price was fair and continental was filling. Sadly, we did not get to enjoy the restaurant and pub in the evenings as we were out every night but they were always full upon our return. The location is great as it is literally within the park and there is a bus stop right in front or the tube is less than a 10 min walk away.

Great little hidden gem in the park. Pub downstairs but still quiet in the room.Very comfortable beds.
Jennifer, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

I have stayed here numerous times over the last seven years, and sadly the state of property is really bad now. Paint and plaster falling off the walls, terrible thread bare carpet throughout. The rooms themselves are looking tired now. The last few times the milk has been off, the fridge was turned off really dirty. It’s a shame because I used to love coming to the windmill, but even the food has gone really downhill.

Linda, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

An older property , quirky clever accommodations which were nice and quiet despite being grouped with a pub . Refurbishment is probably due here and there and the bed was a little uncomfortable for the room rate when comparing to city centre prices .

Really good but light refit needed for bathroom

Amazing stay, large comfortable bedroom however bathroom needs a refit with black joint and mould on the shower ceiling. However fantastic breakfast and really nice team!

10/10. The staff were all outstanding and made us feel welcomed into a community ! The communication prior to our arrival was timely and very helpful . This was my family’s first trip to London and our stay was amazing . The beds were very comfortable and rooms are roomy . while thete is no elevator , easy to walk and they help you with luggage if needed. The food at the restaurant was great with good options and sensitive to allergies. The set up of the pub is very comfortable, with seating and tables to play board games. eat ,drink and be as social as one would like . On the main bus line , train only a 10 min walk , easy uber pick up , on a park and lots to do that are walkable in the community ! A hidden gem . Will be our go to spot when coming to London .

6/10 Good

The location is great, easy walkiny distance to Clapham Common station, shops, bars, restaurants etc. Unfortunately our room was very tired, not as clean as we would have liked and not good enough for the cost. It was actually very dissapointing as other aspects of our stay were good, including the staff and food.

Great hotel actually on Clapham Common. Nice restaurant. Delicious breakfast. Five minutes walk to the tube and several buses.
Theresa, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It’s ok

Charming and busy pub, seemingly popular. Close to Clapham high street and convenient for traveling by tube. A little underwhelmed however by the accommodation. Room could do with a proper dusting. In addition, because I didn’t book directly with them, they would charge me an exorbitant rate every half hour for a late check out. It would have been free otherwise. I can’t understand the justification of the rate. Breakfast was good with good cooked options.
