Guest Reviews
- Pauline (5/5): Passable - Logement bien équipé et dans un quartier très agréable bien qu'assez loin de transports rapides comme le métro ou le train. Il est relativement bien desservi en bus. Le lit est inconfortable, on dort directement sur les ressorts. Le logement a été lavé mais il y a de la saleté incrustée, particulièrement dans la salle de bain. Une odeur forte et désagréable est restée toute la durée de notre séjour et venait de la salle de bain.
- Mareike (10/5): -
- Céline (10/5): Chambre spacieuse hyper bien située à Londres - Très grande chambre avec une immense salle de bain dans un super quartier à Londres. Le lit est très confortable. J'ai adoré la grande cuisine commune pour les petits déjeuners et autres repas. Hyper bien placé avec bus à 3-4mns à pied et métro à peine plus loin. La chambre nécessite des rideaux occultants. Quelques réparations mineures seraient nécessaires, porte de la douche, poignée de la porte d'entrée, moquette... Malgré cela, c'est un très bon rapport qualité-prix.
- Elodie (8/5): - L'appartement est très spacieux et très propre.
La salle de bain est immense et vraiment très agréable L'appartement étant au rez de chaussée, on entend la porte d'entrée claquer et les locataires emprunter l'escalier. Assez bruyant le matin et le soir.
La chasse d'eau mériterait d'être changée
- Mercedes (1/5): Scam - NO HOT WATER. Absolute Scam. We left and they instantly prepared the room to book it again even Tho they know there is no hot water NO HOT WATER
- cecile (9/5): - Localisation top car très bien desservie par les bus et à 20 minutes en bus de St Pancras.
Logement calme et tres propre. Rien
- Yamila Brenda (8/5): -
- Lucia (7/5): - Duben 2026,pobyt na 4 noci
Ubytovaní bylo moc hezké,v dome typickém pro Anglii.Byla jsem zde ubytovaná s dcerou,mely sme pokoj s vlastní koupelnou.Na pokoji byla i malá lednice,nádobí,ručníky,fén,žehlička,toaletní i hygienické potřeby.Kuchyň byla společná,ale velká,mela vše potřebné.V kuchyni byla i pračka a sušička.Možná by bylo fajn,kdyby byli ve skříni ješte nejaké přikrývky nebo deky.
I přes negativní zkušenost s teplou vodou,ubytovala bych se zde určite znovu. První večer jsme zjistili,že neteče teplá voda.Kontaktovali jsme tedy zprávou ubytování,které ale nereagovalo.Jelikož,ale v instrukcích pro ubytování bylo uvedeno,že je k dispozici personál,rekli jsme si,že ráno se zeptáme.Ráno jsme personál nevideli,ale v kuchyni byla paní,co si tam neco vařila a řekla nám,že ano ,teplá voda neteče a nepoteče možná i 3 týdny.Na ulici jsme videli,že probíhají nejaké výkopové práce,nebo rekonstrukce chodníku.Jako v pohode,chápu to,ale nechápu,proč nás o tom ubytování neinformovalo,ani před pobytem,ani v prubehu našeho pobytu,jelikož jsme tam byli 5 dnů.
- Trip_Habit1 (8/5): - Stanza molto spaziosa, dotata di tutto il necessario e con bagno gigantesco. Quartiere molto carino, ben servito, a 2 passi da Camden Lock, ottima posizione in generale: si arriva con pochi minuti di bus in centro e sono presenti varie fermate metro raggiungibili con 15-20 minuti di camminata. Cucina in comune ben attrezzata e molto grande, comodissima per chi ha voglia di cucinare alcuni pasti in autonomia. Sarebbe stato da 10 se non fosse che non ho avuto acqua calda per quasi 2 giorni.
- Joana (7/5): Room with private bathroom in Camden - The location and spacious room Cold water in the first day, no answers from the property after complaining about the cold water and a bad smell in the toilet
- Irati (9/5): -
- Anna Maria (4/5): - Discretamente tutto. Non c'era l'acqua calda ho fatto presente ma nessuno si è fatto vivo infatti non prenoterò più con booking.
- Francisco Luis (5/5): -
- andrew (10/5): -
- Annie (4/5): Comfortable bed but no hot water and overheated bathroom. - Bed was comfortable. It was clean. Room was spacious with separate bathroom and walk in hanging space. Good iron provided. Kettle was provided. Despite the fact that there seemed to be a boiler in the bathroom making it boiling hot, there was no hot water throughout my two night stay. I sent two emails to the host about this and did not receive any reply. There was a lot of street noise one morning ( needed to keep window open because if the boiler heat). The main door keypad was not very responsive making it difficult to use.

- Ján (10/5): Very good price/quality ratio for London - Very well furnished rooms, perfect for a short stay, bath was a nice touch. Walking distance to both Underground, Overground and bus stops. Lot of pubs and shops nearby, Camden Market is cloes as well. Good price/quality ratio We announced our check-in between 3-4 pm, but the room was not ready at that time. But this was just a minor inconvenience.
- Piotr (1/5): Lack of hot water, no accountability and poor communication! - Location, spacious. Poor communication - they did not reply to me over the entire working day with regard to the lack of hot water! Itchy bed (low-quality laundry detergent— my guess), no hot water - I booked a long time ago and there was enough time to inform me about any issues. Communication was poor and there was no actual support. They took no responsibility. The lack of hot water felt more like a financial tactic to increase the profit. Booking.com could not reach out to them although they had been informed about my next step. Look at their reviews: no hot water happened in the past. There are some lights removed in the property and walls have patched socket holes. Very odd.
- Q (7/5): - Decent area, nice room and very spacious bathroom Was a bit far from a train station (need to take bus) as well as from Camden central (i.e. Camden town) but still walkable
- Fátima (8/5): - Muy limpio y acogedor, la ubicación también muy buena. La habitación era un poco fría y la gente que vivía ahí algo antipática pero en general todo bien
- Christopher (10/5): -
- francesco (8/5): -
- Lorena (8/5): -
- Jose María (9/5): - En general el alojamiento y la ubicación. El agua caliente algunos días no nos dió para terminar de ducharnos.
- stead (8/5): -
- Aleksander (10/5): Jesli ktoś chce zwiedzic Camden to celujcie tam, tanio i bardzo przyjemnie. - Świetna lokalizacja. Bardzo blisko Camden, a zarazem spokojna okolica, gdzie można wypocząć. Czysto, schludnie w pokoju jak i łazienkach. Personel potrafił bardzo szybko Nam pomóc. Łatwo było sie zakwaterować. Miło było relaksowac sie w dobrze wyposazonej oraz przestronnej kuchni czy na tarasie. Goraco polecam! Nie było takiej rzeczy.
- Jeong (2/5): - 위치 넓은 식당 다수의 욕실 추운 날씨에 라디에이터 작동이 안됨. 연락을 취했지만 직원의 조치가 단 하나도 없었고 답장도 받지 못함
- FRANCISQUE (10/5): Excellent 👌 - La grandeur,la propreté,les bus très très très bien desservi
Topissime
Merciiiiiiii
- Charlotte (7/5): Did the job - Room was spacious. Very good instructions how to get into the property and fairly easy to find. Transport near to reach city centre. Not bad price for somewhere near London. Cannot comment on common kitchen area as we did not use. Big sky window without a blind so very bright early in the morning. Other window with blind didn’t work very well. Very temperamental padlock system to get into the building. I’m not fussy about sleeping but bed was very hard. TV tricky to work out.
- Cintya (8/5): Nos tocó una habitación con un baño muy amplio por lo cual tuvimos una estadía muy cómoda. Está muy bien ubicado en el b - Ubicación, habitación y baño muy amplio. Hay que solicitar la limpieza de la habitación.
- Mia (6/5): Was good for a couple days but won’t stay again because of the water issues - Area was good room and bathroom was very spacious
No staff on site but they report quick on booking.com messaging No where to lock ur bag if u need to check out before u have a flight etc. (locked ours to chairs)
It’s like a flat with lots of rooms
Had no hot water the days we were there so couldn’t have a hot shower or bath
The bed is not great u can feel the springs when u lay on it

- Giorgia (10/5): Soggiorno perfetto! - La camera era molto più grande degli standard londinesi, aveva tutti i comfort. Il bagno molto bello e funzionale!! Lo cosiglierei L' unica pecca secondo me è la modalità di accesso alla struttura e alla camera, con i codici è un po' scomoda
- Rosa Mar (8/5): - Las instalaciones eran muy bonitas y amplias (nada que ver con el resto de alojamientos de Londres que suelen ser muy pequeños), el baño contaba con ducha y bañera, había calefacción y se estaba muy calentito para el frío que hacía en Londres. También contaba con una nevera y algunos tés.
La ubicación está un poco alejada pero la parada de metro (la siguiente a Candem Town) está a 6/7 minutos del alojamiento. Por poner una pega la cama era un poco dura pero no se dormía mal del todo, la nevera hacía ruido pero la desenchufamos y no hubo más problema.
El agua al principio no salía caliente pero nos lo solucionaron rápido.
- Florencia (8/5): Muy bien - La habitación cuenta con lo básico para comer, tomar algo caliente, heladera y utensilios de comida, es amplia y cómoda, contaba con cocina compartida amplia El baño largaba olor constante como de cloacas, pero bajando la tapa y manteniendo la puerta cerrada estaba bien
- Altinier (10/5): -
- Karina Petra (10/5): Would definitely return - Meticulously clean
Spacious & comfortable
Thought of every little detail in the room & bathroom Nothing
- Romain (7/5): Bon hébergement pour un court séjour sur Londres - La proximité (environ 10 - 15 minutes) du centre de Kentish Town et de la station de métro.
Superficie de la chambre.
Superficie de la salle de bains. Équipements confortables mais vieillissants (ex. Robinetterie).
- Fayth (9/5): Great value for money in safe feeling location - Felt very secure and massive room with great facilities, eg smart tv, plates etc One of the blinds didn’t pull up and a towel had a hole in it
- Ying (3/5): Disappointing - even for the considerably low price (for London). - The low price (considering it's London) - but just know that you get what you pay for. I've never slept on a more uncomfortable bed. All one could feel was the springs jutting into your body. Windows facing the street were only partially covered with a privacy film, which means people could still easily look in. We'd initially booked for two nights, but thankfully we had an alternative accommodation for the second night so we left after the first night.
- Mario (7/5): per un breve soggiorno si può ritornare - La posizione buona, a 10/15 minuti a piedi c'è la stazione di Kentish Town (metropolitana) dalla quale poter raggiungere tutti i punti d'interesse, e la fermata del bus. A 15/20 minuti da Camden Town.
La zona di Camden è molto carina, casette tipiche londinesi.
La camera abbastanza spaziosa di 25 mq. La moquette! Ad ogni rientro in camera sia l'ingresso nello stabile sia in camera puzzavano di moquette (suggerirei alla proprietaria di utilizzare prodotti che possano eliminarlo). Quindi ogni rientro facevano arieggiare la camera.
La tenda era rotta! E quindi non potevamo coprire la finestra di notte (entrava la luce) e anche per una questione di privacy (chiunque di passaggio in strada poteva ossercarci anche se erano molto poche le persone di passaggio essendo un quartiere ampio e silenzioso).
Gli asciugamani anche se puliti, avevano alcune macchie leggermente gialle! Sinceramente non le abbiamo usate.
Al mio arrivo a Londra, se non avessi contattato su whastapp la titolare, non mi sarebbero pervenute in tempo le istruzioni col codice self-check in, e non avrei potuto lasciare le valige la mattina per girare già la città (però su whastapp la risposta alla mia richiesta sulle istruzioni è stata esaustiva e disponibile).
Ho chiesto dopo 2 giorni che venisse pulita la camera, ma non sono stato minimamente considerato, nessuna risposta!! Dato che dovevo soggiornare 5 notti...
Se risolveste queste cose, soprattutto la moquette e la tenda, sarebbe veramente per me un'ottima scelta al pernottamento, perché il quartiere è molto tranquillo e silenzioso di notte
- Filipe (5/5): Razoável para se estar poucos dias - O quarto e o banheiro são grandes, havia um pequeno refrigerador, louças e jarra elétrica. A cama é muito desconfortável, sente-se as molas do colchão e os travesseiros também são bem ruins. Falta uma persiana black out, entra muita claridade no quarto. A água do chuveiro não esquenta muito e ainda termina bem rápido. Ouve-se muito barulho do apartamento de cima, do corredor, das escadas, da entrada e saída de pessoas, provavelmente as paredes não são isoladas acusticamente como mencionado no anúncio. Também não deixam claro na descrição do quarto que a cozinha não é privada, ou seja, não é um studio. A cozinha é coletiva, são muitos quarto inclusive alguns quartos tem moradores fixos. É um pouco desconfortável cozinhar lá a menos que você esteja preparado para uma experiência do tipo albergue.

- Rebecca (10/5): -
- FLAVIA (8/5): La struttura è buona per chi non ha troppe pretese, è ben collegata, ed è ben organizzata, mette tante cose a disposizio - Posizione comoda, c’era tutto l’essenziale per un ottimo soggiorno Cattivo odore nella stanza
- Sandra (8/5): Loved it! - Room was very spacious and bathroom as well. Just like the pictures. Had everything we needed. Easy and autonomous check in. The bed mattress, you can feel the bedsprings. I would have liked more opaque window curtains or blinds, cause the sun rises very early. Also I'm not a big fan of the carpet on the floor but that's a london-uk thing.
- Simon (9/5): Very happy with my stay - hope to book again on my next visit in the autumn :). - Very nice place for the price in London. Clean, spacious bedroom and bathroom. Excellent location, close to the shops and tube in Kentish Town. All was fine
- Gontlafetse (7/5): Staff were friendly. Kitchen and facilities were clean. - Bedding could be improved, the sheets and duvet cover were not comfortable Too much climbing of uncomfortable stairs to kitchen and to room
- Me (8/5): Very good - Good location, near tube/bus. Clean and comfortable room, big kitchen.Helpful stuff. -
- Uriel (8/5): Very good -
- Clare (7/5): Good -
- Rute (7/5): Good -
- Bharath (9/5): Superb -
- Mia (7/5): Good - Situation was good, nice area. Bed and room was okey. Huge kitchen. Not many people to share toilet and bathroom and there were more than one to share. Staff was friendly. You can hear evrey movement from upstairs and front door. Very late at night and early in the morning. No tv channels, fridge had water in it and made noise at night. Basic maintenance was lacking.
- Justus (8/5): Good location and very cozy place - Everyone had their own cozy rooms. The doors were creaking and the soundproofing wasn’t the best.
- Daniel (1/5): Awful experience, do not stay here - Do not stay here, I stayed here over (Sat 17th - Mon 19th May) and had an atrocious time.
For the whole duration of my trip there was no hot water and therefore could not take a shower in the three days that I was at the property, numerous time I messaged regarding this, on one response they said the caretaker had fixed it, a caretaker never showed up and nothing was fixed, when I asked again they ignored my message.
On arrival, even though I said I would be arriving at 11am (asked to store my luggage) they said no problem, they gave no instructions whatsoever with regards to the property number (no sign/name) and how to enter the property, after numerous calls and with the stress of travelling I finally was able to enter the property after the cleaner let me in. They knew well in advance that I was arriving at 11am as I had told them in the days before, no booking information with regards to room/keys/number of the property was provided until long after I had entered the property after being let in by the cleaner.
The room has no sound-proofing and if you are in Room F all I can say is good luck, you'll hear constant noise of the front door opening and being slammed shut, along with noises from the keypad outside, the walls and ceiiling are paper thing and you can hear anything to the side and above the room. The sink in the bathroom is clogged up and the water does not drain properly, also the water comes out the taps at a dribble (that is being generous) so good luck in using them.
They have offered £23 compensation (pathetic) and said 'there's showers on the floors above' well as I booked an en suite room specifically I don't want to use showers that have been used by other guests, also they tell me this information after I have left the property, what use is that? Why not mention it to me when I was actually a guest at the property?
- Pavel (9/5): Superb -
- Jack (7/5): Good -
- Jack (6/5): perfect place for weekend but not ideal location. - This was a very cheap place for what I needed for a busy Easter weekend, the room was perfect and comfortable The location isn’t in the most ideal place, a 20 minute walk from Camden/Kentish Town. didn’t feel particularly safe within the Camden area walking so had to spend money on Ubers, did feel very much in the sticks, it was also very noisy inside of the house there was lots of banging and slamming of the doors as well the as the noise of the door opening and closing.
- Alexandra (4/5): Disappointing - Let's start with the good things: The room was clean and big and location was quiet and a bus station to get to central London was just around the corner. However, we overall won't be recommending the accommodation.
When we arrived we still haven't been given any information on how to get inside the house. Only when we called and messaged them on booking did we get information that should have been provided a lot earlier (at least 24hrs earlier, so you can plan your route to the place), especially the exact location of the accommodation. We actually looked it up on Google and through other sites. We even asked some neighbors if we had the correct place since the accommodation has no name tag or anything like it.
The hosts were very quick to respond to requests on the arrival day such as extra towels (there was only one set for two people) and extra bedding because we each wanted our own blanket. However, that doesn't change our initial welcoming to the place.
Also don't stay here if you are noise sensitive, some of the other house guests decided to start a washing machine at 11pm and it was very loud in room F which we were staying in. I don't even wanna imagine how loud it was in the other rooms.
- Pieter (1/5): We found bedbugs in the room and brought them home as well. Wouldn't stay here until this is solved! -
- Valeria (7/5): Okayish place if you go easy on things :) - The location is good, very close to Kentish and Camden Town. Not far from shops and public transport at an affordable price. Staff was kind, room and bathroom are huge. A lot of things in the room like a small fridge, cups, plates, tea maker (we didn't use them). When we arrived the heater wasn't working so we had just cold water and a very cold room. They fixed the problem after a couple of days but the heater was difficult to control so the room was suddenly too hot, impossible not to get a cough.
Room wasn't perfectly clean, furniture is pretty old and you can see that, especially in the bathroom.
- Ivelina (4/5): Disappointing - It looks like in the pictures, the owners replied fast, we could leave our luggage before 14 pm There were a few issues...1. the sink was constantly clogged throughout our entire stay even though we informed the owners every single day. They said that they'd fix it but they never did. This is a trip which was for 7 nights!
2. The heating was broken and it was always cold in our room. This was in early february too so you can imagine the cold nights!
3. We didn't have hot water for half of our stay. Once again we informed the owners of this every single day but they didn't do anything about it.
4. The cleanliness of the room was terrible.
- Andrea (7/5): Good -
- Isaac (8/5): Very good - Good kitchen and lounge Maintenance man walked into my room uninvited without knocking!
- Husam (9/5): Superb -
- Clare (8/5): Very good -
- Ali (3/5): The Rooms are very cold in Winter - The Location is good The heating System didnt work for 2 days. The Weather was -2,-4. It was a terrible experience
- Andrew (10/5): Perfect - A very clean and comfortable room and great value. It's around 10 minutes walk from the station and the bars and shops in Kentish Town. I will definitely stay there again when I next visit the area.
- Ren (8/5): Comfortable stay within walking distance to Camden - Great location with free roadside parking over the weekend. A quiet area so easy to sleep at night but only a 15 minute walk or bus ride to Camden.
The bedroom and bathroom were very warm which might be a plus for some, especially with an autumn stay. My negatives look like a lot but they're small things to make this place a fantastic stay. Overall it was comfortable and it was a good base for a couple of days stay in London. There is a thin/transparent blind so curtains or an opaque blind would be much better. We didn't check out the shared kitchen but in our room there were cups, cutlery and tea; coffee would have been a good addition.
The water pressure in the bathroom taps is almost non-existent and the shower would flash cold. There was also a drains smells from the sinks.
We turned the bedroom thermostat down to 15 as the goal temperature but the room never reached below 20 degrees which was way too warm for us, but at least the bathroom was always a warm temperature.
- Muhamad (9/5): Superb -
- Rudie (1/5): Awful. Never stay here unless you want the host to be racist. - The host was immediately racist to my partner, accusing his of doing drugs for no reason as he was trying to unlock the door. The fire alarm panel was next to our room and the beeping kept going off all night, then around 5am the fire alarm went off whilst we were asleep. We woke up and the landlord was banging on our door shouting at us for smoking in the room. Who is smoking in a room at 5am!?!?! If we were smoking, he would’ve been able to smell it. He didn’t even check to see if it was a fire and immediately was banging on the door accusing us of smoking drugs. When we woke up later in the morning he was playing with the fire alarm panel as the beeping was still going off. (And instead of restarting the alarm, he just silenced it, which is a major fire safety issue). He started banging on the door again whilst we were still in bed at 9am, once again accusing us of smoking drugs. I opened the door to confront him and he told us to hurry up and leave. I paid to stay till 10, I’m staying till 10!!! Horrible experience with a rude host who immediately met us with racism and accusing him of a crime, just because he is black. The fire alarm panel does NOT show which room has set the alarm off, and as I also work in a hotel I know how this stuff works. The light on the fire alarm in our room wasn’t on, clearly showing that it was not that alarm which detected the smoke.
- Ana (5/5): Not bad! - Big, cosy room with a fully equipped bathroom with a bathtub There were a few hiccups, but the host was kind enough to refund me a portion of my stay!
- Dorina (10/5): Fantastic - The location is fine it’s easily approachable. We had everything that we needed There was nothing wrong with the accommodation
- Colin (10/5): Fantastic welcoming accommodation close to Camden with amazing facilities - OMG this place is amazing so clean and inviting we did have room with private bathroom but the shared bathrooms looked good too. its a 15 min wander into Camden but in a lovely quiet area in Kentish town. the room had a kettle, mugs, plates etc and a mini fridge but the shared kitchen that led onto an outside patio area was HUGE and well equipped. our host was so friendly chatting away with us. Talking of HUGE the bathroom was bigger than some apartments we have stayed in tv didnt have an aerial but we werent there to watch tv and forgot to mention to the manager as it didnt bother us. the windows are tinted with a thin blind behind not sure if middle of summer if the light would stream in early but didnt when we were there so just a thought
- Kari (8/5): Very good -
- Gil (5/5): Passable -
- Poonam (8/5): Good - Location
Cleanliness
Kitchen facility Noise outside
Heater in bathroom
- Amy (6/5): It was fine, it needs some care however perhaps it was fair for the price. - The location was good, and the room had everything necessary to use it as a base to explore London. It needs some TLC. There were broken drawers, lights that didn’t work and cracked bathroom tiles. The shower didn’t always have hot water and the air conditioning couldn’t be changed so the room was permanently warm unless you left a very loud fan plugged in. The method of accessing the room was a pain as you had to keep a key and a separate security code, and we also found someone else’s passport left in the room, which we left out for the owner to find.
- Stanislav (10/5): The host was very kind and everything was clean and calm. -
- Gilberto (9/5): Superb - Nice location and nice room. The staff was very friendly and the room well kept
- Sarah (10/5): Large room, good location - The street was very quiet. Room was huge. Bathroom was also massive! The room needed a black out blind or curtain.
- Daniel (8/5): Very good - good nicer budget option for London. Close to lots of good stuff. Shower is a bit iffy but overall better than I expected and good value
- Cameron (7/5): Good - 10 minutes walk from the Thameslink, subway was shut for repairs until December 24 so we had a longer walk home a few times. Thameslink links with Central London and Luton Airport so was ideal.
Reasonable sized room and huge shared kitchen and lounge, all very clean and would use again. Only fault was shower in our en-suite, the bracket was broken so it pointed at the wall. We pointed this out and were able to use a shared bathroom with shower so no problem. I'm sure it'll be getting fixed now.
- Jessica (10/5): The best place we've ever stayed at, five stars are not enough. - Very friendly and helpful host, room was really nice and comfortable, presented to a very high standard, having a fridge in the room was superb, the bathroom very spacious, lovely big shower and bath. The doors to the juliette balcony couldn't be locked, taps to the sinks had very low water pressure.
- Nicola (10/5): Comfortable, great location and friendly staff. - Spacious room, friendly staff, very large communal kitchen. Easy access to toilet and shower. Very good location to get around London, bus route near, tube/train near for airport and across town.
- Jake (10/5): Exceptional - Host was very nice and helpful. Great location. Good value for money and a great room.
- Ashley (8/5): Very good -
- Kristina (8/5): Wss nice short vocation - We liked the area and place. It is simple but it is pretty nice and we just come back to sleep overnight as were exsploring the city all day. Close to city centre. Calm area near a very interesting Camden city which worth exploring. Personell very helpful. There is no sign with the property name as I havn't saw a message with the adress so it was not easy to find, so would be good to get info much earlier then the same day, when you are already traveling. The small issue was with a very thin ceiling as you can hear everything what is happening at the upper room very loudly, as they used to get back late at night so we werr waking up from them walking in they room.
- Antonio (9/5): No brainer if you need a comfy place to stay near Candem - Amazing value for money. I hope it keeps its standards. I didn't use the kitchen but it was awesome. Would come back. Maybe the size of the room but not a problem for us.
- Dimosthenis (1/5): Lack of Cleanliness and Maintenance - Our recent stay at Camden Holloway Rooms has left us deeply disappointed and dissatisfied.
While the room was spacious with a luxurious-looking bathroom, when we entered the room, it became immediately apparent that cleanliness standards were not being upheld. Hair was found in both the toilet and sinks. The bin bags had stains from previous rubbish. The plates and cutlery provided were visibly dirty, and coated in dust. Furthermore, the mini-fridge contained someone else's partially consumed drink. The towels provided were also stained. When we asked the person in charge, they informed us that attempts had been made to remove the stains but were unsuccessful. So, despite being aware of the issue, they still decided to provide stained towels to guests. Lastly, the room had a constant, unpleasant smell, likely coming from the bathroom drains.
Considering the price paid for the accommodation, I cannot recommend it to others. The evident lack of care and maintenance overshadowed any positive aspects of the stay. I hope this review serves as constructive feedback for the management to address these issues promptly, ensuring a more pleasant experience for future guests.
- Mackenzie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tonia (8/5): really comfortable. fab location. - Huge room and bathroom! loved the bathtub. Fridge and lovely cups and plates set out with tea and biscuits in arrival for use. that room a tad noisy as on ground floor in entry way. if bring earplugs, would be fine . Size of room makes up for it!!
- Mark (10/5): Great place to stay if you are in Kentish Town! - Location was excellent for our needs whilst in London
- Jan (9/5): Superb - Great location, huge kitchen and common area. Very nice owner. Room was very cozy
- Colman (8/5): Very good -
- Alex (8/5): Adequately good - The room was pretty. It was relatively close to the Tufnell Park tube station. It was close to the Kentish Town station too, but that was closed at the time that I was there. Moderately good food options are nearby the house. The room was super clean and neat. Even though the bed was like soft granite, I could still sleep, at least a bit. The shower head couldn't be set in place on the shower wall, which was a minor problem; in other words, I had to hold the shower head the whole time. I think the soap in the bathroom should have been different; the liquid soap and body wash both are the kind of soap that, no matter how much you rinse, it never feels like it's off your skin.
- Alan (9/5): Superb - Huge room and bathroom. Much grander than I was expecting!
