Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location is fabulous, making it easy to explore the area. The rooms, although showing signs of age, were functional but small with some amenities missing. The service was lacking in attentiveness and efficiency, impacting the overall experience. Despite these drawbacks, the proximity to key attractions and transportation hubs added value to the stay.
The hotel is conveniently located near Finsbury Park subway station and close to shops and amenities. The rooms are functional, albeit in need of some DIY improvements, lacking air conditioning. Service was mixed, with some staff being rude except for the friendly receptionist. The dining options were limited, with poor quality breakfast. The location is good for quick access to London city center but can feel a bit scary at night.
The hotel could use some cleaning and updating in the rooms, and the advertised free wifi only works in the reception area, which is not very convenient. Despite some cleanliness issues, the location is perfect, right by the tube station and various dining options. The dining experience is basic but acceptable, with a limited selection of food.
The hotel has a great location, but the rooms need cosmetic repairs, and the shower was uncomfortably hot. The service was charming and friendly, and the hotel is convenient for exploring the city. However, the building has maintenance issues and the shower had extreme temperature fluctuations. Dining options were limited but satisfactory.
The hotel is ideally situated near Finsbury Park for a music event and offers easy access to shops, pubs, and public transportation. The rooms are a bit small and cramped, with the disappointment of limited Wi-Fi coverage, but include breakfast. The staff is a mix of helpful and unwelcoming, while the dining options are basic but sufficient. Overall, a decent choice for its location and value for money.
The hotel's location is very cosmopolitan and extremely busy, offering the convenience of leaving luggage before check-in and after check-out. The rooms were spacious enough for four of us to get ready in but could do with a coat of fresh paint. The service varied from rude and unhelpful to pleasant and welcoming, with significant inconsistency. The dining experience was subpar, ranging from simple but good free parking to very poor quality food offerings. The location was very good, with easy access to the Finsbury Park subway station.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were big and clean, although the noise from a party almost made me leave in the middle of the night. The staff didn't do much to control the situation. The price I paid was a bit high for what I got.
I found the hotel to have its ups and downs. The rooms were booked differently and the new one was only slightly better, but I dealt with a rude receptionist and noisy housekeeping. On the bright side, the service was friendly and offered help readily, even guiding on transportation options. The location is convenient, although not elegant, with easy access to supermarkets and pubs. However, the dining experience had limited options, including awful juice, which left me craving something better.
The hotel had tiny, dirty rooms with no air conditioning or cold water in the shower, making it uncomfortably hot. The housekeeping was noisy, and the shower water was scalding. Despite this, the staff was invested in addressing issues, even after check-out, with good communication. The location was convenient, close to transport links, but with some street noise. The dining options were limited, with burnt pastries and a lack of saucers for cups.
