Excellent room which was clean and comfortable. Facilities where everything you needed and it was a reasonable price. Not the far a walk to tube easy to get too.
I had a wonderful stay here. It perfectly combines the comfort and flexibility of Airbnb with the standards of a boutique hotel. The room was spotless, well-organized, and very comfortable. Everything was thoughtfully prepared.
Great location. Good place but remember before you book that they require a £200 deposit.
Location was a little confusing but once I found it, was very clean and tidy. Had to call to double check if I could check in early and they were happy to help me out. Id definitely stay again, great place if your going to a gig at the O2. 4 Stars because it was hard to find, had no actual identification that it was there. Just a random door.
Verv Islington provides a good service for one of the best values in the area. The bathroom and kitchen is shared, but basic amenities are provided for. However, I would recommend a room on the top floor to avoid any loud footsteps from the noisier guests. I have stayed here twice as of this review.
I stayed in the ground floor room. It was clean and fully equipped. The room is a little stuffy and you can hear people who walk by outside, however at night the area is very quiet and I slept well. The kitchen was well equipped and clean. I used the free coffee (instant only). The shower was ok, nothing special but functional. The best thing is the location and ease of access. It is close to fantastic restaurants, pubs, fast food, tube etc. A really beautiful area. Picture postcard London. For the price I think it is a good place to stay.
KEYPAD IS ON THE DOOR HANDLE. Look more closely. That will make sense when you're there.
Situated in a really nice area. Very reasonable cost. Instructions to access building/room very clear. Studio itself was clean and comfortable but extremely steep steps up (to room 4) Tea, coffee, sugar was provided. Ensuite bathroom but no shower gel. Would stay again if in the area
Retail & entertainment district with Camden Passage antiques shops, lively bars & eclectic dining.
