Nicely furnished. Comfy bed
The room was based in an outhouse and incredibly damp

The location is the only saving grace of this place.
Checking in was a pain - they insist on having ID emailed to them which is not secure and violates GDPR on care for personal information. If you don't provide that they suddenly allow you to send a security deposit of £200 via Stripe (so not a hold but an actual charge) which felt very sketchy. The front door got replaced one day with hammering and drilling past 11pm. Kitchen is stocked pretty poorly - not even a bottle opener or sharp knife so self-catering would be challenging. One bathroom shared across 6 rooms so getting ready for work in the morning was always an arduous affair.

The area
You have to go down to the ground floor to use the toilet and there seem to have only one toilet and shower for 4 rooms. This information was not clearly indicated in the advert

It was a late booking and we was very impressed on the overall of verv, amazing quality and outstanding value for money.
Nothing to moan about at all.

Lovely quiet location. Room had all the facilities I needed. Bed was comfortable, temperature was good.
Two small points - no shampoo, and the hairdryer didn't work

Es un lugar bastante privado, no vimos a ningún personal durante toda la estadía ni tampoco a ningún otro huésped. No podíamos acceder a la cocina, ni teníamos una neverita para guardar alguna compra lo que nos obligaba a comer fuera todas las veces, si tu objetivo es estar fuera todo el día y tener un sitio donde dormir y dejar las cosas, cumple su objetivo.
Faltaba un cuadro en la habitación que en la foto si estaba, al final no es para tanto pero si nos llamo la atencion, tambien los baños no son privados, se comparten con todos los de la casa.

Really clean, modern and secure. Tucked away and a stones through from the shops and where my gig was down the road
Perhaps some wine glasses next time. Had to resort to a champagne flute instead

Location
The room I checked in was not cleaned up yet. According to the hotel said that there were some system error or something. It took me ages to find out and I had to wait in the messy room. I was told that I can get money back for one night. I really hope so.

I liked the location of this property, there are plenty of places around, with a great variety of restaurants, also the washer and dryer were available.
The day we arrived, the bathroom light wasn't working, the next morning we called them and they fixed the problem right away.
I didn't like that the bathroom was not in the room , we had to share it with lots of people. I didn't like it specially because we were never informed of that.
Definitely not a five star place like it was advertise and truly felt misled.
The bed was a full size and my husband and I are tall people so we were quite uncomfortable.

因为要离朋友家近,这家绝了,没想到就在小区门口,很方便。门口的高街也很方便,距angel地铁站走路七八分钟,总之一切都很好。因为订的是顶楼的,从2楼到顶楼是加装的楼梯,极小,托运箱是不能拿上去的,除了这个,其它的都很好
房间如果有一张WIFI和设备说明就好,这些都是发到邮箱的,很不好发现

Great location near Islington Buisness. Paid £97 per night, which is fair for a London 1 bed studio.
Room 1 is downstairs and noisy due to people above and from outside road. Curtain pole bust by a previous guest, so I used pillows to block gaps in curtains. Separate bathroom and keypad door made it feel like a hostel, no home touches or anyone to greet you.

I booked this hotel for my Dad and we found it easy to check in and the room was great value for money and as described. We were looking for good quality, basic and low fuss accommodation and this is just that.
Also in a absolutely perfect location!
3.5
Gorgeous and spacious room, late check in available until midnight, location was lovely, bed was comfy, value for money was superb and it was a very peaceful night with no noise. Couldn't recommend more!
Nothing! Be sure to check the instructions in the email on how to use the door handles!

The location was great, there was two underground stations at a close distance by foot. The area was nice, there were many restaurants and pubs. The room was nice as well.
The room was noisy. There was only one bathroom to share in the house.

Almost all good! Clean! Nice location

Great location, just what you need for a chill at the start and end of the day and then night out in London. Facilities great, clean, considered. Would definitely recommend.
3.5
Location is superb. Just off the High Street. With cafes, bars and shops on the doorstep. Angel tube stop a 5 min walk. Comfortable cosy room. Bed very comfy.
No bulbs on the bedside lamps. Having to give photo of driving licence before check in... Is this regular practice?

Clean ,Comfortable, good location

The location is great.
I couldn’t tell you because even though I paid they wouldn’t give me the code to access the property. They sent me a link to make a £100 payment which I didn’t trust as it was outside of Booking. I use Booking so I don’t have to deal with property managers or owners. I didn’t see the small print about deposit. It’s there but it isn’t clear at all. Should be in bold letters and someone near the top of the page.
3.5
Location and cleanliness were good
The TV didn't work, I spent evening with no TV or radio and curtains didn't open close properly, also didn't see any staff and the 1 lady who was there didn't speak English and could help
3.5
Nothing,
Location is poor,
Shared bathroom and kitchen
Hidden charges - The £100 deposit i paid was not advertised on booking.com website. This left me stranded as I did not have extra money due to lack of adequate information from booking.com
Nothing

The room was lovely
3.5
we were upgraded. Instead of a shared bathroom and a bedroom we had a flat.
it was clean, huge, confortable and safe.
The day of arrival, i received a message where I needed to pay a refundable deposit. I had no idea because it is not highlighted.
a bit scary, but i got it back so good.
3.5
The location is great, we booked the terrace room and I found it a very good balance between a shared apartment and some privacy, the terrace was great!!!
The place was exactly the same of the pictures.
The owner has been very kind answering at any questions at anytime!
I would recommend it
The check-in is done remotely with different codes, I have personally found it a bit complicated.
3.5
Great location, cheap for London. Really basic but for one nights sleep it was fine! If you're travelling on a budget its great.
Tired and could do with a freshen up.

Location was the only redeeming quality about this supposed "hotel"
The fact that on the website it did not advertise that there is no toilet connected to the room. Rather a shared bathroom downstairs I feel is duping people into this accomodation. Especially as this was booked for a birthday celebration, it was an unwelcomed surprise to realise there was no adjacent bathroom. This was quite a disappointment.
Also, the "terrace" has brick work all over the floor and ladders, indicating that building work was ongoing. There was also painiting and decorating ongoing in the property at time if staying, making it smell of paint which is delightful.
The bed had a huge dip in the middle. It was obviously well used. The condition of the furniture was quite frankly poor.
From a safety perspective, the smoke alarm was not attached to the houses, rather, it was placed in the cupboard. An obvious place to be an effective fire detection system...this quite frankly is irresponsible, putting guest and needles risk. Secondly, for £134 a night, I think as a customer I deserve to be better treated.
Over all, to spend £134 on a single night, with no bathroom, smoke detector, building works ongoing and cheap furniture does not lead my to think it is value for money at all. Very disappointing.

Good location
30 mins before my arrival time I was informed that I could not stay here due to maintenance problems - I am disabled and was moved further from where I needed to be in London. At their other property I was put in:
https://www.booking.com/hotel/gb/highbury-hub-apartment.en-gb.html?label=gen173nr-1FCAsoUEIWaGlnaGJ1cnktaHViLWFwYXJ0bWVudEgJWARoUIgBAZgBCbgBGMgBDNgBAegBAfgBA4gCAagCBLgCyeuGoQbAAgHSAiRjNzU3NjNiMS1iMzdhLTQyNGUtYmRhOS03OTM5NzgzN2M3NzjYAgXgAgE&sid=f87f3e9be427c2734d3ac5dec4affd44&dist=0&keep_landing=1&sb_price_type=total&type=total&
Very steep stairs to reach the apartment, more stairs inside the room, freezing cold, tiny old towels, Wi-Fi did not work, constant running water sound all night right next to the bed, and the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever been in - protruding springs that hurt your body - ended up lying on pillows on the floor. I’ve stayed in £20 hostels that were better and this was supposedly an ‘upgrade’.
Not to mention how horribly unsafe I felt because of the coded entry - the door to the apartment was wide open when I arrived and the then I also repeatedly found the front door to the building open too.
Also the tv was in a really strange place.
3.5
Room was exactly as advertised and good space. Bed was comfortable and TV had Netflix. Everything worked well and the house was quiet and cleaned every day.
Internet could have been faster and was a bot slwo at times. Heating was OK, but got an additional small heater with extension cord, which was standing in the kitchen area and as such could heat up the room whenever a bit cold (it was super cold outside as London was at 2-4 degrees during the day at the time of my stay). I had a great stay and sutited my overall needs.
