Montcalm East, Autograph Collection

London|2.29km from Highbury & Islington
We stayed at the Montcalm east this weekend - a group of 4 ladies away for a weekend to see a show and shopping. We couldn’t have wished for any more from the hotel. We chose the Montcalm east as we wanted to stay in Shoreditch rather than Mayfair where we have stayed previously and we were so happy with our choice. Shoreditch itself was vibrant, energetic and full of so many interesting places to eat and things to see. It also seemed quieter than areas we have previously stayed and this was welcomed. From the moment we arrived at the hotel the reception staff greeted us in a professional and friendly manner and the concierge helped us with taxis throughout our stay and one young man on the door went above and beyond to help us which we really appreciated. We had an adjoining room on the 14th floor and all of us were extremely impressed with the modern style of the rooms, the decor was sleek and stylish, the bathrooms bright and spacious with a great big backlight mirror which was perfect for us when getting ready in the evenings. The beds were comfy and the whole hotel itself was immaculately clean. We also used the spa one morning and thought the Dyson hairdryers were a great touch, the showers agin spacious and quality amenities provided. We had a relaxing swim and used the day beds and it was a great way to relax in the morning. The breakfast was perfect, a good choice of cold options plus cooked breakfast, eggs any way you want them, fresh juices and coffee. We even had waffles one morning and they were lovely. We thought the location of the hotel was perfect for us - only a short taxi or Uber ride to London Bridge for our return journey and within walking distance of great little funds like box park - we thoroughly enjoyed it there. Overall we couldn’t fault anything about the hotel, a 5 star modem and trendy hotel in a great location - we will be looking to come back at some point in the future to explore more of what the area has to offer I’m sure.

The Standard London

Kings Cross-Islington London|2.32km from Highbury & Islington
Just finished a four night stay at the Standard Hotel in London. This is my first trip back to London post Covid and wanted to find the latest and greatest and the Standard has raised the bar in the hotel and hot spot scene. I put the concierge team to the test as I always do and Istvan and his team did not disappoint. I sent a very detailed request of things I wanted to and places I wanted to go before I arrived. Upon arrival I was happy to accept a room upgrade from George at the front desk and he was quite helpful showing me around and we struck up a conversation about football. Upon entering my room I saw it had a massive terrace with beautiful teak furniture over looking the city center. The room was stylish and chic and cutting edge and even a bit “quirky” as the brand is known for. The restaurant on the first floor Isla, is as cool as you can imagine. The lobby flows into the restaurant with outdoor seating that is heated with a gas fireplace which is a nice touch. The service and food were spot on and the lobby feels like a home as it is filled with books, dj booth and the cool London locals as well as the jet set crowd. I went to see Istvan at the concierge desk who was put to the task of getting tickets for a few soccer/football matches for me. I was floored by the front row tickets he gave me. He sorted out trains, boats, cable cars and restaurants. I can’t imagine better service could be had. Saving the best for last, Decimo on the 10th floor is the place to be and people watch. The mix of music and food was the cool vibe that everyone tries to imitate but never does. The hotel is directly across the street from St. Pancras station and Kings Cross. International, or national rail lines as well as the tube/subway. There is not a better location in London as it literally is the heart beat of the city. Nice to see a hotel living up to the hype. Actually, they surpass it.
St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel London

St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel London

Kings Cross-Islington London|2.37km from Highbury & Islington
I find spa days odd if this is normal. Maybe this is a me thing. £70 to sip camomile tea in a not very warm room with the lights down (I could have murdered a coffee but they didn’t “do” coffee in the spa. Coming from a luxury hospitality background and it being a high-end hotel, I would have thought someone might have offered me one); the jacuzzi again was not all warm and nice so my muscles still wouldn’t relax and then there is a steam room with eucalyptus. The sauna is separated m/f so i didn’t bother because I went with a male friend and the point was to chat… we ended up having more tea. There is no swimming pool but there is a gym. Fair enough if you want that. My starters had no flavour at all. The main was nice and right for the moment and my Irish coffee was delicious. The building wowed me and everything is in very good condition. Staff are down to earth, smart and friendly. The set menu was worth doing. I don’t know how this competes with other hotels but had the spa been warmer I would certainly have been happier. I feel £70 for that part of the day is money for old rope. When I think about it we spent about £20 an hour to be in a nice building and have a £30 two course meal. I think that’s quite a lot. The spa could do with some personality, warmth, music… having tables cleared more often (it wasn’t busy)… something other than going room to room in a towling robe.

Citadines Islington London - Europe
4.4/570 Reviews
My husband and I were very happy with our 5 night stay at Citadines Islington. Our room was spotlessly clean, quiet, and very well appointed in terms of layout, the comfort and quality of the bedding, and furnishings for the kitchenette. The facility itself was very well appointed from the spacious lounge area with complimentary coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and a small bar to the well equipped exercise room and convenient laundry room. The location is superb, hidden in a quiet square yet just steps from all that the Islington neighborhood has to offer from restaurants to shopping to easy public transit connections. The hotel staff was uniformly friendly, welcoming, and helpful in response to our requests for suggestions about the neighborhood.
Islington Inn
3.1/558 Reviews
We stayed at the Islington inn on the 19th august we booked 4 rooms, we were all a bit sceptical after ready the awful reviews!! But when we arrived a very friendly man at reception welcomed us all 4 rooms were on different floors and can honestly say apart from them being very basic and slightly tired looking we were satisfied. The hallways were not full of abandoned items like someone else had said they were all hoovered and clean, the bed sheets were crisp and clean and the beds very comfortable, fresh towels in the bathroom all wrapped and fresh the bathroom smelt very clean nice fresh bleach smell. We had a great sleep we were facing the main road there was no noise for a Saturday night and the blackout curtains were great. All rooms had a fan which was great and kept us cool. All in all it was a great overnight stay and we will definitely be returning it’s in a great location and a perfect base. It’s not a 5* hotel as I said it’s basic and tired but not as bad as some make out there’s also a lovely cafe just up the road from the hotel called favourite cafe that does a great brekkie.
Caledonian Studio Flats
3.4/55 Reviews
Kings Cross-Islington
It’s alright, not great. Location is a little sketchy and there’s no real check in. The dude talks to you via text/WhatsApp, so it feels less professional than one would like. He did offer to try and fix a problem I had with bookings by offering another location which was nice, can’t knock his effort to help - but the price he was offering was a little too much for a ‘single bed and a mattress on the floor.’ I was away in London, I wasn’t gonna sleep on the floor after that long-ass train trip 😂 The bed was in the attic/loft and I kept hitting my head as ceiling was low, and I’m not particular tall. The smell of the building is pretty nasty too but luckily room smelt fine. Check in was pretty bad, no one would answer the door, I rang the guy and he said he’d ring the housekeeper. She answered and was very sweet, there was a language barrier though, she told us 2nd floor on right hand side but it turns out we were top floor left hand side. Not her fault, I’m a patience and understanding guy so I thanked her and continued the evening. Upon entering the room there was food under the sofa and a headband on the floor so instantly my girlfriend’s skin was crawling. Ever had an upset partner whilst on holiday? Yeah proper headache. 😂 It’s a little too expensive for what it is, but it’s semi decent, an alright location. Just wish they hadn’t charged the £7.50 cleaning fee, as I don’t think a wet mop on the floor and nothing else counts 😂 I’ll probs book again but only if it was the last place I could find! Not the owners fault though, as it seems he’s not there too much to check. Do, with this information, as you wish.
Hilton London Angel Islington
4.3/559 Reviews
Staff were amazing and attentive when issues arose. Booked the king size room which was large and spacious but that’s where the good parts end. - Air Condition did not work (Told reception when we got in at night and was given a fan) - Mini fridge did not work, so gave the food we bought to amazing receptionist - lamp in the corner was not plugged in, had to move the table from the wall to switch it on. - Bathroom wasn’t wiped down properly so you could see the residue of the last guests. Besides the amazing staff who helped and gave good local recommendations for bars and restaurants the quality of the hotel was lacking. Would not be staying again.
Camden Prime ApartHotel
4.3/538 Reviews
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Camden Prime Apart Hotel and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction. The brilliant accommodations, coupled with exceptional service especially their air conditioning system one in each flat, made my stay truly memorable. The hotel’s prime location made exploring the city very easy , and I can’t wait to return to it on my next visit. Highly recommended.
