Great stay and great location

8.0

Great location, couple minutes walk to the overground station. Offered a discount on food and drink at the pub underneath for hotel guests. Staff were really pleasant. Room was small but comfortable enough for a 1 or 2 night stay.

− Not the hotels fault at all but the room was ROASTING due to the heatwave. They did give us bottles of water and a couple fans though. Wouldn't stop me staying there again but just something for other guests to consider depending on the time of year that you visit.

Comfy, good, worth returning for

Save some time to savour the place. Nice pub downstairs, good seating outside. Missed the 20% reduction on food and drinks for guests due to travel...

− Proper air conditioning - quite hot in a London heat wave.

Great find in this locality.

We've stayed here a couple of times now (at least). We've always had a good welcome. It's convenient for anywhere in Hackney / NW London. Comfortable, quiet, friendly. As a resident you get a decent discount on food and drink in the pub.

A fantasric experience that I would not only recommend, but choose to return to myself in the future!

This property is honestly my favourite one that I’ve paid for with Booking.com. I was worried at first about it being on top of a bar, however it was near the venue that I was going to for a concert (Oslo London) and it was the most affordable listing that I found when looking for accommodation for one night. When I arrived it was easy to get to with the help of Google Maps, and upon arriving I was attended to very quickly. Was given my room key and necessary instructions/directions/information about the establishment, and then I got to my room… and WOW! It was a great first impression. Very clean and put together and comfortable looking. There was also a fan already on as London was mid-heatwave, so I greatly appreciated that. There was also an ice cold water bottle waiting for me, and the bed had a thin sheet to it, with a duvet above the wardrobe in case I needed it. They truly thought about my comfort, and that was something else I appreciated. I felt very secure in my room, the shower was amazing, the bed was sooooooooooo comfortable, and I overall had an amazing experience. I’ll also note that my stay was also at the same time as the England semi-finals match, and whilst there were a lot of people in the bar beneath the hotel, I did not hear any noise coming from the bar whatsoever.

− My only tidbit is that the hallway light was not on/not working? And that hallway (to get to my room) was very dark and at that point I did feel a little unsafe just trying to get into my room. It didn’t help when around midnight there was floorboards creaking outside my room and I didn’t know if it was someone out there or just the sounds the establishment makes. (I was solo travelling and that was the only time I felt unsafe.)

Great and well thought out stay in very central Hackney!

Great location, friendly check-in, thoughtful touches in the room

− A breakfast option would have been great but not essential!
