I booked this business trip with only six weeks notice, expecting to have to grossly overpay for a London hotel. Especially when I was looking for a chain, (as a lone female traveller, I feel more comfortable). I was over the moon to find this hotel at around £32 per night and less than ten minutes walk from Finsbury Park station (or 2 mins by bus). I was made feel very welcome on check in, with everything explained and an optional choice of floor. The single room was compact, (but not too small), very clean, cosy (adjustable radiator), clean towels in shower and heated rail. Flatscreen TV with freeview, a safe, a selection of tea/coffee and biscuits. Great free wifi. Plenty of hanging space/storage. A hairdryer and well lit, large vanity mirror above a desk and another full length mirror. The bed was very comfortable and there was a spare pillow. The hotel was very quiet at night, even though it is on a busy road. The surrounding area is safe to walk at night and is served by very regular buses. It's directly opposite the park. I arrived on a Sunday and there were plenty of people in there if you wanted a walk/to exercise. It's also handy to plenty of shops for amenities. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again ! less
