Best Western London Highbury

This was the first hotel in a 3 week solo European trip. I looking for a well reviewed, inexpensive, no frills hotel. I was completely satisfied. The room was clean, the staff was very helpful and friendly. I rented a single and got a room for one person. The room did not have AC (not unusual in England), but the evenings cooled off and there was a fan in the room. My only complaint was the lack of electrical outlets. There were 2, but after the fan, that left only 1 for a cell phone, camera and tablet. I will be better prepared next time. Also, the room included a tea set which took up a large section of table space. I'm not a tea or coffee drinker, so I moved it out of the way so no worries. WiFi was free and reliable. This portion of my trip, I was doing day excursions to southeastern England so I was off early and back late. I never got the chance to use the breakfast. There are 2 Tube stops within a 10 to 15 walk. This gave excellent access to multiple Tube lines. less

This hotel was clean and well managed. Although they did get our room wrong, they were quick to change it. We were basically arriving, changing, wedding (elsewhere!), hen coming back and sleeping. Perfect for this. Plus nice breakfast with literally every option you could want. Coffee from machine was weak though so add a sachet to help with hangovers. Parking safe and easy. Rooms cool with big TV and fans. Good, inexpensive option right opposite Finsbury Park. less

We are two adults with 3 children and it is always a trial to find a hotel room that accomadates us all. The kids are too young still to have a room to themselves. We were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a 2 bedroom apartment which was huge by London standards (we know because we lived there in 2006!). The staff were really helpful. Especially because there was some technically difficulties using the Best Western Travel Card, but Lucia was so professional and the whole situation, which could have been a drama, was handled beautifully. I really appreciate that and if it hadn't been handled well I swore never to use Best Western again but now I feel quite the opposite. less

Stayed in room 313, spotlessly clean, to the rear of the building and not at all noisy! The décor was fresh and the carpet soft underfoot. The shower facilities were spotless with handwash & bodywash provided. We needed to be close to Finsbury Park for a festival, this was perfectly located, and great value for London. The staff were welcoming, and friendly. The car park to the rear of the property at £10 /night was a bonus. We did not eat at the hotel so unable to comment on food. The only negative was the lack of air con, (we were lucky the sun shone and it was a glorious day) however, there was a fan already in the room which was thoughtful enough. I would definitely return. less

Nice and clean room, bus stop vis-a-vis and tube station within a 5 minute walk. Friendly and helpful staff! Not too expensive for London, but you are not in the centre. Free Wifi was pretty good, we will come back! less
