My review is of the hotel, and The Half Moon as accommodation for a wedding party. I hope I can help a couple avoid the stress, confusion, and unprofessionalism of this place. A comment I'm shocked I haven't seen about the hotel rooms is that they seem to not have double-gazed windows, or if they do, there is no sound absorption. I stayed in the Grand Suite and couldn't believe how loud the street noise was. Traffic and bin lorries full of crashing glass sounds were shockingly loud. It was commented on by my family as well as the hair and makeup artists that helped me prepare in my room. That aside, I reserved several hotel rooms for our family and ourselves, with different check-in and check-out dates. The check-in process was a huge mess - my cousin arrived first and they gave him the room that was for my sister and mother. After we corrected that, the front desk gave my sister a hard time because they didn't seem to have her correct check-out date. The night before my wedding, I received an upsetting call from the front desk claiming that no one had checked in for one of the rooms I had reserved. I explained that they would be arriving the next morning. And to top it off, there was a huge confusion ON THE MORNING of my wedding as my brother and sister in law arrived to the hotel and the staff told them they did not have a reservation, which they did. It has been almost 1 year since these events and our experience at this hotel is a sour memory from our wedding, something that should have never happened. This hotel is incapable of handling wedding accomocations, be warned. Edit: Hi Anne-Marie, I left a lot of other negative details out of my review for the sake of it's length. It's sad you have to lie about our dog, who was a happy guest at our wedding reception. There are many other reviews commenting poorly on the experience at your establishment and unprofessionalism of your staff.
Amateur hour - come here if you want to be served by a bunch of chumps who don’t understand the concept of legal tender. One star for the tasty buffalo wings. But beware as you can’t pay for the wings with cash or card depending on how low the staff’s IQ is trending Response to Ann-Marie: I didn’t understand how this pub was so highly rated on Google maps. But if you doctor honest reviews … the rating stacks up. Cheers
Typical London pub. Very lively and rather expensive but that's competing it to Dorset prices. Probably not out of line for London. Conveniently located near Herne Hill Station. Can't comment on the food as I didn't have any. The local bear was nice.
Lovely hotel with a pub and bistro below. The room was comfortable and the bathroom a good functional size. The staff is friendly and the food delicious. We chose the Half Moon for its proximity to Brixton. We’d stay here again in the summer to enjoy the outdoor dining area.
Very nice pub that has been lovingly renovated to preserve a lot of its traditional feel. The food is good, especially recommend the roast dinner. There is a good sized beer garden for the warm weather, which has a log burner for the colder months. There is a snug as well as a main bar. Good selection of beers and wines and generally a very good atmosphere.
