Hotels in Islington - London

Positiv:: The view from the rooftop terrace, where the restaurant is located, is amazing. Great way to start the day. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good location, close to a many of nice food places and street food markets.

Positiv:: We stayed for my girlfriend’s birthday. The experience was absolutely fabulous from the minute we stepped into the reception. Check- in staff were so attentive (especially January-thank you!!) and we were given a complimentary upgrade. The room and facilities were second to none as was the service throughout. The roof bar (the aviary) is definitely worth checking out if the weather is good. Location is also fantastic. Thank you Royal Montcalm!!

Positiv:: 10/10 to Michal and his staff at The Montcalm for looking after very well recently. An excellent Hotel with terrific facilities run competent and professional staff. An example to all Hotels of how it should be done. Paul and Gaye.

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: The staff made us feel very welcome and were very helpful

Positiv:: Everything! Great location, great building, rooms, lounge area and a very smooth, efficient service.

Negativ:: Nothing!

Positiv:: -Super Lage, nur wenige Geh-Minuten zum Bahnhof Liverpool Street -Angenehmes Zimmer, mit moderner Bedienung des Lichts, der Klimaanlage, etc. -Freundliches Personal, vorallem die Portiere waren sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und sympathisch! - Zur Begrüssung wurden uns Macarons auf das Zimmer gebracht, und manchmal stand sogar ein kleines, hangeschriebenes (!) Kärtchen auf dem Tisch im Zimmer.

Positiv:: Outstanding service from all staff, January Stephenson in particular. Greeted with cold juice on arrival and got an upgraded room for celebrating a birthday there. The spa was beautiful and to top it off we got a complimentary dessert and fruit in our room. Amazing! Would stay here again 100%. Great value for money, worth every penny.

Negativ:: One side of the bed seemed a lot lower down than the other. I'm not sure if it was two beds put together.

Positiv:: Nettes Personal

Negativ:: Bar unten schliesst viel zu frueh..ab 23:00 gab es nichts mehr. Man hat uns den Zutritt auf die Terassenbar oben (Grund wieso wir das Hotel gebucht hatten) nicht gewährt weil sie eine Veranstaltung hatten und die Terasse scheinbar bereits voll war..und um 22:00 schlossen sie diese..was dann jedoch nicht so war denn es schallte noch bis nach Mitternacht runter..

Negativ:: The lobby was very small and crowded

Positiv:: Great facilities, amazingly comfortable and quality throughout without being garish. Staff were always on had to help but never imposing. Really impressed overall and would highly recommended

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Everything. Great location, amazing staff, best beds, great food, cocktails and service. Swimming pool fab too. Always stay here now when in London

Negativ:: Nothing!

Positiv:: Zimmer sind modern, Lage ist OK, Rooftop

Negativ:: Sehr schlecht ausgebildetes Personal; grundsätzlich freundlich, aber unqualifiziert - es fehlt wohl an einem tauglichen Management; unbrauchbares WLAN; weit entfernt von 5*-Standard; verlangen Depot, obwohl schon alles im Voraus bezahlt

Positiv:: Location was ideal.

Negativ:: Lovely hotel very friendly staff but unfortunately our rare lie in was disturbed very early by building maintenance from what sounded like the room next door and above

Positiv:: Great location and a very warm greeting. All staff were polite and helpful. Room as small (511), but perfectly ok. Would just have liked a bedside table and socket on the right hand side of the bed.

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Cleanness and breakfast

Negativ:: Elevators located too far and staff weren’t very helpful with directions

Positiv:: Staff friendliness on arrival. We were one of the many who were stranded at Gatwick Airport due to cancelled flights and the reception staff were very welcoming after what had been a trying day at the airport.

Positiv:: The staff is super nice and helpful. We arrived to the hotel earlier and we were able to check-in already. There is a lovely Hungarian girl, Katinka in the bar, she is super nice. The room was clean and well furnished and comfortable.

Positiv:: Nice cookies on check in and very attentive staff at reception.

Negativ:: Could do with more staff on the bar, nothing to fault as such just didn’t sleep very well.

Positiv:: Very accommodating and helpful on front desk! The welcome cookie was a lovely touch too! Very good location to tube station and town centre with restaurants and bars too! Also held our bags whilst we waited for our room! Ironing board/iron in each room also a plus.

Positiv:: Good location.

Negativ:: Air conditioning alarm going off at 4am and decision to simply cut the electricity supply to our room as a solution.

Positiv:: Das Hotel wird in Etappen renoviert. Unser Zimmer war komplett neu möbliert, mit neuem, tollem Bad. Wie schon bei unserem ersten Aufenthalt war das Personal super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Auch das Frühstück war wieder hervorragend, auf internationalem Niveau. Sehr ruhiges zum Innenhof gelegenes Zimmer. Die Lage ist durch seine fußläufige Entfernung zur Underground-Station Angel sowie zwei Busstationen von King's Cross entfernt, sehr gut.

Negativ:: Am 2. Tag funktionierte WiFi (im Zimmerpreis inbegriffen) erst wieder am frühen Nachmittag. Dieses Problem hatten wir vor 2 Jahren auch schon. War für uns aber kein wirkliches Problem.

Positiv:: besonders gutes Service, für alle wünsche eine lösung gefunden, z.b. decke für eine kühlere nacht, Rezeption immer erreichbar, freundich und lösungsorientiert und zwar JEDER Mitarbeiter, egal ob Rezeptionist, reinigungspersonal, barangestellte, sogar Fensterputzer, lage des Hotels optimal, rundum möglichlichkeiten zum einkaufen, essen, cafe, kings cross in kürze auch zu fuss erreichbar, somit in unmittelbarer nähe die Möglichkeit, alle Sehenswürdigkeiten zu erreichen oder auch ausflüge, z.b. außerhalb Londons, zu unternehmen. jede Möglichkeit sich "ins getümmel zu stürzen" oder aber auch in 5 Minuten plätze für stille zu errechen, z.b. den regents channel mit uferpromenade

Negativ:: keinerlei thema

Positiv:: Das Frühstücksbuffet war äußerst umfangreich und müsste allen Ansprüchen gerecht werden. Es sollte einen Hinweis geben, sich ( aus Umweltgründen!) nur soviel auf seine Teller zu laden, wie man auch tatsächlich essen kann. Es ist eine Zumutung für das Servicepersonal, halbvolle Teller zu entsorgen.

Positiv:: The staff were very nice and friendly

Negativ:: There wasn’t a lock on the bedroom door so anyone could walk in and out all day. There are only 2 toilets on the 4th Floor and there’s a shower in each so its usually occupied with people showering.

Positiv:: I liked how you could bring foods to store at the kitchen. I liked how close the store was to get milk, eggs, etc.

Negativ:: I did not like that there was no A/C.

Positiv:: It is really a budget place in London. Acceptably clean, staff is OK, location is great (5 min from Angel station where it is full with shops and bars). The basement is a spacious area where you can cook, eat, watch TV, work on your laptop, play. There is really space for everybody.

Negativ:: Lockers are extremely small and they are in the basement. You need your own padlock. They can fit a laptop and a book, not your backpack. Rooms are pretty small. Window blinds are hard to handle. You either open the window, either close the window blinds. Open window with blinds is not an option.

Positiv:: Super Lage, Coop in der Nähe, Kaffees und einen schönen Park. Man kann mit dem Bus 19 und 38 in 25 Minuten an dem Trafalgar Square sein. Mit U-Bahn geht es auch super schnell aber aus dem Bus hat man einen tollen Aussicht. Wir wollten kochen und haben uns auf die Küche gefreute, die sehr gut ausgestattet ist. Aber letztendlich haben wir stattdessen immer etwas unterwegs gegessen. In den 3 Tagen Kurzurlaub passte es bei uns zeitlich doch nicht rein.

Negativ:: Es gab Reparaturen während unser Aufenthalt, darüber wir nicht im Voraus informiert wurden und das Treppenhaus und einige Gänge waren mit Arbeitsmaterialen vollgestellt. Das Bad war winzig und nur grob gereinigt. Unser Privatzimmer hatte außer dem Bett nur einen ehemaligen „Büroschränkchen“ als Nachttisch und nicht mal ein Haken oder solide Wandgarderobe wohin man die Jacken etc. aufhängen könnte. Das Bett war 140cm und der Matratze quietschte sehr laut - die Federkerne waren nicht von gestern.

Positiv:: The Argentinian girl at the reception was extra kind and helpful. Located close to underground station.

Negativ:: There weren't enough safes in the room for each guest. So you had to keep your valuables inside a small safe in the kitchen. Bathrooms are clean at a certain time of the day only. My room was headed to the street, it was incredibly noisy. My food was stolen from the fridge, this is not the hostel to blame.

Positiv:: The atmosphere is great, staff super friendly and helpful. It’s quiet, beds are comfortable and rooms spacious. It’s a few blocks away from Angel Station (northern line) and less than 10-minute walk from Kings Cross. The area is beautiful and there are lots of coffee stores nearby. I’d definitely come back!

Positiv:: Super Lage bei U-Bahn und Busstationen.

Negativ:: Sauberkeit relativ, keine Locker in den Zimmern, Gäste extrem laut in der heißen Julinacht direkt unter unserem Fenster.

Positiv:: The kitchen is big and there’s enough space for everyone to cook their food.

Negativ:: The beds are too high. I was in the third bunk and it was really hard to get up and down.

Positiv:: Location was good and the kitchen plus sitting area was comfortable. Cheap price at a nice location is rare.

Negativ:: However, shower and toilets were at the same sharing area which was not good plus crowded every time. It was for both boys and girls.

Positiv:: Good location, nice area.

Negativ:: The place definitely needs renovation, everything is very worn-down.

Negativ:: Very hot, no fan or ventilation. Dirty showers with poor drainage/soap scum build up

Positiv:: I really liked the living room, it was nice and snug and the breakfast area was pleasant.

Negativ:: The toilettes where a let the place down a little, one toilette seat was broken and the other ones lock was broken.

Positiv:: I liked the reception staff customer service.

Negativ:: I didn't like the Bathrooms and toilets, They are so dirty and water was everywhere. Power sockets are all located in one corner, that is not helpful for guests as they can't keep an eye on the electronic goods all the time. Rooms are so hot without ventilation!

Positiv:: Non-central location, 15 minutes walk from the underground station in the Isling. The hotel is located in a terraced house and has a small but nice garden where one can eat breakfast. The cooked breakfast is OK but there is little selection of everything else, e.g., no fruits or vegetables.

Negativ:: The rooms have paper thin walls and when the owner speaks over phone everybody can listen. The bathroom is tiny, so that the door has to be open if one wants to sit.

Positiv:: - The bed sheets were clean and the bed was comfortable! - The breakfast was also pretty filling and as far as I know, pretty unique to UK, as in eggs, beans and bacon :) There were other options available also, like cereal or toast. - They provided a UK electricity socket adapter free of charge! - Pretty beautiful location of the city with all those two story houses that gives Harry Potter kinda vibe; - Hotel is fairly close to the Northern metro line - Did I mention that bed was comfortable?

Negativ:: - I stayed in a room with private shower and toilet. However, sitting on a toilet I had to keep the door open, since there was simply no space for my knees and I am 181cm tall. Funny experience! :D - Walls were paper thin and I could hear people speaking near the check-in desk and what other people were watching on their TVs, so it did not create a feeling of privacy but, I guess you get what you pay for, right? Apparently, 68Euro/night is not that much in London. Yet, I consider this a bit of an issue if you want to really relax. - Had to buy my own shower gel, which is a bit of a downside when you are traveling for a few days (especially since normally it is not under 100ml and you can't fly with it). However, I left it in the shower for next weary traveler. :)

Positiv:: Bed comfy

Negativ:: Size of the toilet

Positiv:: Location

Negativ:: The lady housekeeper was rude! Rooms weren't cleaned daily

Positiv:: The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The room was very small but clean and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and cooked to order. Short walk to Tufnell Park tube.

Negativ:: Ensuite shower and toilet were extremely cramped, en-suite double room was very small

Positiv:: Das Personal ist extrem freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Mich hat v.a. der Service begeistert. Die Entfernung zur Underground Station Tufnell Park ist relativ gering und Central London ist somit gut zu erreichen.

Negativ:: Das Bad, dass bei unserem Zimmer inklusive war, war extrem klein und leider auch nicht ganz sauber da der nasse Dampf nach dem Duschen nicht richtig abziehen kann und sich somit Schimmel bildet.

Positiv:: Very nice and helpful staff, good beds, clean room, good breakfast, quiet neighbourhood

Negativ:: Mold in the bathroom

Positiv:: Cheap and cheerful for area

Negativ:: Need breakfast for 6 but starts at 7

Positiv:: Dass man sich jeden Tag sein Frühstück frisch zubereiten lassen konnten

Negativ:: Sehr hellhörige Zimmer

Positiv:: The breakfast was amazing, real english breakfast, it was perfect. The location is good, the city centre is just 15 minutes with underground and everething shops, restaurants are near there. The staff is really kind and helpful!

Negativ:: The room and the bathroom is so small. It is perfect for couples, friends for nights if you just go there to sleep and have a breakfast.

Positiv:: The bed was super comfy and the staff were lovely

Negativ:: The floors were a bit creaky

Positiv:: Sehr ruhig gelegen, zugleich nach wenigen Minuten Fußweg an Bus- oder U-Bahn-Station, von dort schnell im Zentrum. Nette Wirtsleute. Kein überflüssiger Schnickschnack.
