A good size and fairly comfortable room. Was overlooking a main road and very close to to Finsbury Park, but hardly any noise was heard. A nice selection for the continental breakfast. A couple of minor faults though - the shower took ages to get right and the stairs were very noisy. Other than that would recommend.

Friendly staff, clean and very simple rooms. Very central, next tube station is three minutes of walk away, with the tube you can go to the centre of London very fast. Disturbing was the noisy street and that the room was very hot because there is no air conditioning. The breakfast is simple but okay. I personally wouldn't come back because it was so loud during the nighttime but for people searching for a cheap and central stay and don't have a problem with the noise (or could sleep with closed windows) I'd definitely recommend it.
