"Although the hotel is extremely close to the railway station, it’s in an odd area of the centre of town where you have to walk up to it via a car park ramp. There is an access staircase from the other side in town, right next to an door of the Arndale Shopping Centre, but this was a hang out area for lots of young men, playing loud music into the early hours of the morning, and did not feel a safe place to walk through. Once inside, the hotel staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and the hotel itself was kept extremely clean. Breakfast was OK but the cooked items were standard items and although I didn’t eat late on the first morning, did seem like they’d been there for quite a while. I don’t think the mushrooms, very pale in colour, had seen a frying pan. The Greek yogurt, frozen berries, honey and pancakes were a much better option on day 2. I had a single room, which was well proportioned and had all I needed. The problem was that, due to the noise coming from below outside, I had to have the window closed and the room was then too hot. Due to the noisy, unsafe feeling, location of the hotel, and resulting problems associated with this, I’d have to think carefully before starting here again. 10/10 for staff friendliness and helpfulness though throughout my stay.

"Very nice, good spec, good service, good value. As usual! Loved the “free” upgrade - thank you!"

"The room 247 I stayed in was dirty bed mattress was old like lying on old springs. The main complaint was the window there was a safiwire on which I understand but no handle on frame for air in room but most of all a fire hazard as you could not open "

"Other than the awkward placement of the safe deposit box (inaccessible for a short person) the room was spacious and well laid out. Wonderfully clean during the week, but the cleanliness took a hit on the weekend, likely because of the football game on Saturday night - the hotel was packed full, and they were clearly short-handed. Our 2 bottles of drinking water and incredibly delicious cookies were not replenished as they had been the previous 3 days, and the bathroom bin remained unemptied the entire weekend. There was also a strong smell of sewer some evenings when we walked in after having been out all day. This smell dissipated after several minutes but it was not nice to come home to. The friendly woman at the desk (Noelle) did her utmost to supply what she could, stockwise, and someone was sent up the following morning to deal with the bad smell by dropping a tablet of some sort down the drain. So in the end, everything worked out, but it was still disappointing to have to deal with these issues after such a strong start. The location of the hotel itself was unbeatable - right across the street from Finsbury Park Station, from which you could catch the Tube (Piccadilly Line) to and from Heathrow Airport (approx one hour ride) or the train to places like Cambridge - very comfortable and clean. And of course, if you were there for the football (we weren't) it appeared to be of excellent proximity to Emirates Stadium (10-15 min walk). I would definitely stay here again. "
