The location was excellent. We were just steps from a subway station and only 20 minute walk to Camden Market. The breakfast that was included was good. You could take it to go or sit and enjoy. The staff were all pleasant and helpful. Will stay here again when we return to London.

24hrs of road noise

Hotel, room, staff and breakfast was ok, good I suppose, but the noise from the 24hr traffic was horrendous and prevented my wife, son and I having an even average night's sleep. Ill fitting window with vents to allow a nice cool breeze (fine) but road noise, no. These road facing rooms should be offered at a better discount

Nao vale a pena

Para começar nos deram o quarto errado, com uma cama de casal ao invés de 2 de solteiro, e só poderiam trocar no dia seguinte. Ao chegar no quarto o travesseiro estava cheio de cabelos (de outras pessoas). Finalmente nos trocaram de quarto por um que a janela não abria por ser perto da saída de emergência, de modo que não ventilava, e o quarto era muito quente. È por último, o Wi-Fi do hotel é muito ruim, mal conseguíamos enviar mensagens por WhatsApp

We stayed at the hotel for 3 nights and overall quite satisfied. The hotel is very conveniently located across from a shopping mall with food spots and grocery store. More importantly, located about 5min walk from tube station. Room once sofa bed extended was small but not problem since there only to sleep. The WiFi was unfortunately not functioning properly (very slow) the first two nights, which was quite frustrating but was then fixed after that. The free breakfast was great with lots of variety and on weekends with extended timings (very useful given we woke up late due to jet lag). Overall would recommmend the hotel.

Tophotel

Fijn hotel. Goed gelegen, bij halte transfer Luton-london (halte Finchley Road). En metrohalte van de Jubileeline. Aan de overkant winkelcentrum met Sainsbury's, restaurants en bioscoop. Verder ook winkeltjes en restaurantjes in de straat. Personeel is uiterst vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Wij kregen andere kamer, omdat een uitklapbed niet goed was. Verder zeer netjes en goed ontbijt. Wij gaan hier altijd naar toe

Don’t go to this hotel

The room we were in was at the front of the hotel, very very nosey. Out from all sites, therefore spent a fortune on tube, taxis, and buses. The breakfast and room was very dam basic, for the price there were charging , definitely would not return.
