Budget hotel, clean and comfortable

A clean, friendly hotel and great value for money especially in London. There's a bus stop outside and you're about a 15 mins walk from the tube. Don't expect a top notch hotel but the rooms are clean, the beds comfy and the staff are friendly.

Great stay.

Excellent service and a great welcoming. The reception team are always smiling and are happy to help. The room is not too bad. The room and bathroom were nice and clean, and the bed was comfortable. The only issue is that the walls look worn out, but that wasn't a big problem for us. Overall, great stay!

Staff helpful and pleasant. Room was clean but very dated and tired looking. I'm suspecting it is being updated as linen and towels were all very new looking as was kettle and cups. We had everything we needed for 1 night stay.

Lovely visit

Islington Inn is a comfortable place to be at. Its clean (as clean as it gets in an old buildning of London!), there is always staff there, they are helpful and kind, its calm, its a good location, the bathroom is clean, the bed is clean. Sure the carpet in the hallway is a bit dirty (answering other peoples comments) but its just stained. Every morning they cleaned.

Value for money!

Looks really run down when you get there and leading to the rooms, but if you're looking for a nice, clean bed and a good bathroom and not much more, this was actually a great, positive surprise.

It’s a good place to stop if your in London for work, it’s a good price and a comfy bed! It’s probably not the best quality for a full on holiday but great when needing to stay in Islington for a few days for work or to see family and freinds! It was small and basic but comfortable and the staff are lovely. The only issue I had was the shower took a while for the water heating to work.

This is a good price for a very well situated accomodation. Very small room, but has all you need. Good shower. Very thin walls, could hear person next door on his phone, and the person he was speaking to, room was very hot. Cleaner was bashing about with a hoover at 8.45 am outside in corridor and in room next door. Seemed a bit unnecessary given check out at 11 and check in at 12. Would stay again as location good for me. Does the job. Do t expect luxury, but it doesn’t offer it.

never stay there

the room was dirty. floor filthy . smelt of mould and damp shower was mouldy sink hot water tap did not work i.e. no hot water . beds very uncomfortable. carpets outside were disgusting. no power socket near the kettle we balanced it on the radiator . ( not safe at all.) door lock did not work you have to pull the door shut and double lock to close. web site advertise bar / restaurant / breakfast this does not exist . web site said extensive refurbishment but only if this was done back in the sixty's. photos on the web site are a blatant LIE .. none of this is true. i have stayed in hotels / inns / and b&b's all over the world and this rates as one of the worst . will never stay again and never. i state never stay there spend your hard earned money elsewhere. overpriced and a dump . I hope this helps others steer clear.

I booked for one night, I rang to let them know what time I'd be arriving to check it was ok. I was told the desk was manned 247. When I arrived no one was there and no one was answering the phone either. It was late, I was exhausted and all I needed was somewhere safe to rest. I was stood outside for 20ish mins, football fans were waiting to get in too. I was the only woman, on my own, on the street not knowing. There was no sign with information as to where he had gone. (He had gone to the shops). The room was fine enough.

Absolutely stank of smoke and bad plumbing. We went to politely ask to change rooms and let them know about the smoke and he seemed annoyed and told us the smell was coming from the street. This wasn’t true as the street was empty and there were cigarette butts on the window sill. We weren’t able to change rooms. Mentioned it again in the morning to a different man at the desk and he just glared at us, no apology or offer of a refund / partial refund. The staff were really rude right from the start, apart from the cleaner who we passed in the hall - she was very smiley and friendly. We then tried to get a refund through Expedia but they couldn’t get through to the hotel to authorise it. I think this is the first time I have ever left a bad review.

Could be so much better..

The excellent staff could not really make up for the inadequacies in my room alas. The shape of the room meant that floor space was lost as bed was pushed into a triangular corner. The shower cubicle was old and grubby and the cubicle doors really only appropriate for a malnourished child. Suggestion: make bathroom a wet room! Kettle flex was not able to reach plug and meant tea/coffee making was a trip hazard. Gap in curtains allowed light to shine direct in face. Great location, good staff but disappointing experience

First impressions, the building looks nice outside and reception area is pleasant. Check in was super simple, i got my key straight away with no fuss. The receptionist was very polite and well dressed. Unfortunately, the positives end there. The room was as i expected for the price, basic with a double bed and tea tray. Really old fashioned and in dire need of an update but fresh sheets and a reasonabley comfy bed. However, as soon as i let myself in to the room i was hit with the strongest smell of cigarettes. Totally overpowering and inescapable. I left the window wide open for a few hours but was afraid it might attract an intruder given it led right on to a busy street. I had a prior commitment to make so i was unable to change hotels and had to go out. When i checked out and got home the next day i had to wash every item i had with me as it reeked of cigarette smoke, i could even smell it on myself. So gross. This place is fine is you have low expectations and just need a place to put your head down for the night. I cant fault the staff or the location but....
