The Fox & Goose Hotel Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to The Fox & Goose Hotel on Hanger Lane, you immediately get that classic English pub-hotel vibe that feels both welcoming and unpretentious. This three-star property doesn’t try to be something it’s not — and honestly, that’s exactly what makes it work so well. The building has character without being stuffy, and there’s something reassuring about a place that’s clearly been getting things right for years.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s what I love about staying in this part of London — you’re actually in a proper neighborhood rather than some tourist bubble. Hanger Lane might not sound glamorous, but you’re surprisingly well-connected to central London while avoiding the chaos and inflated prices of Zone 1. The Tube connections are solid, and honestly, having free parking at a London hotel feels like winning the lottery these days. Couples seem to particularly appreciate this spot, which makes sense when you consider you can easily explore the city but retreat somewhere that feels more residential.

The Room Experience

I’ll be straight with you — the room won’t blow you away with cutting-edge design, but what it lacks in Instagram appeal, it makes up for in genuine comfort. The beds here are genuinely excellent, and I mean that. You know how hotel beds can be hit or miss? Well, these are definitely a hit. The rooms feel lived-in rather than sterile, which some people love and others might find a bit dated. But after a long day exploring London, you’ll appreciate having a space that feels more like staying at a well-run guesthouse than a corporate chain.

Breakfast & Dining

The breakfast situation here is actually pretty impressive for a three-star place. They’ve got the full English sorted, obviously, but they also do continental options and have proper vegetarian and gluten-free choices — not just an afterthought. The restaurant area has that cozy pub atmosphere where you can linger over coffee without feeling rushed. It’s the kind of place where you might end up chatting with other guests or the staff, which doesn’t happen everywhere in London, trust me.

Why Guests Love It

What really strikes me about The Fox & Goose is the number of people who come back — there’s clearly something special happening here that goes beyond just the basics. I think it’s that rare combination of genuine warmth, solid value, and being in a spot that feels authentically London without the tourist markup. The 9.1 rating isn’t an accident; this place consistently delivers on what it promises. You’re not paying for marble lobbies or rooftop bars, but you are getting comfortable beds, decent food, free parking, and staff who actually seem to care whether you have a good stay. Sometimes that’s exactly what you need.

Reviews of The Fox & Goose Hotel

  • Ismail from Norway (10/10)

    Breakfast is great.
    Pillows and sheets are comfortable
    Bath and rooms are modern and nice and tidy
    Got bottle of milk and sparkling water complimentary
    Room is of good size
    Is also a McDonald’s and a restaurant nearby if you want a late meal
    For the price it’s probably the best place I have stayed at in London and I will probably book my next London stay here.
