I'm hesitant to give this hotel an excellent review, because whenever I give a good review the hotel price tends to go up. This is a great, hidden gem in London. It sits back from Upper Street in Islington, in a fun square with shops, restaurants and both a playhouse and movie theatre. This sounds loud, but it isn't. Islington is a charming area with a lot of personality. The room is very spacious and spotless and still looks brand new after a renovation in 2019. A big thing for me is the bed - so comfortable. I also love all of the light with the windows being basically the full width of the room. This hotel is not for someone who wants a lot of bells and whistles. If you are staying for a week, which I usually do, your room is serviced mid way through your week. There is no room service, and you can ask for a cart for your luggage. There is however, a laundry room and gym.
The big, beautiful room, comes with a large closet and bathroom with cabinets and a shower that is actually enclosed - both of which you don't find often in London. The room also comes with a little kitchen. The place is surrounded by amazing food - just load the Deliveroo app and there's your room service. They do offer I nice light breakfast in the common area by the lobby, but I just stock up the kitchen with goodies from the nearby Sainsbury. The service is great. I want to call out Maria and Rianna at the front desk who were both very helpful during my stay.
