It was mostly good. Having A/C was great in that heat. But my room was so tiny I couldn't even have friends over
Pros:

The building has a nice atmosphere about it. It's 130 years old. The room was clean and the shower was pretty good.

Cons:

The location was a big problem for me. I didn't realize it was so far from the tube, my preferred mode of travel. I ended up riding and waiting for the buses much too much. At least the bus stops are right there. But they're extremely unreliable timetable wise.

Also, in some of the mornings, a door would slam shut again and again. I can't imagine what it could be, but I honestly don't understand hotels that don't invest in quiet closing mechanisms.

Charming hotel with excellent staff, comfortable rooms, good accessibility and thoughtful attention
Pros:

We were placed here at the 11th hour (quite literally at 11 pm) due to an issue with our original booking. I was extremely grateful to the staff for accommodating us and being so gracious about our late arrival.

The hotel itself is lovely. The building has lots of character, and our room was comfortable and spacious, with excellent beds. I am a wheelchair user and, although I do not require a fully accessible room, I do need enough space to bring my chair into the room and manoeuvre independently. This was easily accommodated and the room worked well for my needs.

The hotel has clearly been thoughtfully designed to support Orthodox Jewish guests, with kosher provisions and facilities that accommodate religious observance. I imagine this would be a significant positive for Jewish travellers looking for a hotel that understands their needs.

For wheelchair users, the practical details may be useful: Hendon tube station is around a 10-minute walk/roll away, although the route back to the hotel is uphill and may be challenging for some manual wheelchair users travelling without assistance. The station is on the boundary of Zones 3 and 4. An accessible black cab into central London cost us approximately £40–£60 depending on destination and traffic. It is also worth checking the current step-free access status at Hendon before travelling, as the station lift was out of order during our visit.

Cons:

The air conditioning struggled during the heatwave. Even at the lowest temperature and highest fan setting, it was well into the night before the room cooled enough to sleep comfortably.

The hotel clearly caters very well to Orthodox Jewish guests, and I respect the religious practices it supports. As a non-Jewish guest, I was initially unfamiliar with some of the customs around interaction between men and women. I took the time during my stay to learn more, and understood that some behaviours I noticed were related to religious observance rather than unfriendliness.

However, because I wanted to be respectful and avoid inadvertently making other guests uncomfortable, I chose not to use certain communal facilities, such as the dining area, during my stay. This is not a criticism of the hotel or its guests, but something that non-Jewish guests unfamiliar with these customs may appreciate knowing in advance.

Excellent, would stay again!
Pros:

Friendly staff and very high cleaning standards, a modern and bright room with everything required.

Cons:

It was a shame there wasn’t any garden furniture to sit out on as glorious weather when staying. There were a couple of old indoor table and chairs with table cloths on but they weren’t very appealing which was a shame as a beautiful setting and well maintained courtyard garden.

Needed a few more USB-outlets.
