London Shelton Hotel, Finsbury Park

Other than the location, this hotel was extremely disappointing. The room was very tired and in desperate need of refurbishment. There was black mould in the shower, leaking taps, and stickers left all over the fridge. The TV didn’t even have an aerial connected, so it was unusable.
The curtains were dirty, and the windows were so filthy you could barely see out of them, suggesting they hadn’t been cleaned in a very long time. The bath mats were nothing more than pieces of cut-up carpet thrown on the floor, and the top of the headboard felt greasy to the touch.
Overall, the cleanliness and maintenance were far below an acceptable standard. Aside from the convenient location, I cannot recommend staying here.

Needs renovating a little

The room was absolutely boiling. There was a fan however it did not help much. Beds were really wobbly and one even slanted downwards at the head of the bed. Only supplied two hand towels. Shower was hard to work, but everything else worked fine.

The room was so small I could barely move, there was nothing to hang clothes on, no air conditioning, the small window I had overlooked the fire escape, where people went out to smoke and could see inside the room, and they didn't even come to change the sheets or make the bed

The hotel is no longer called The London Shelton Hotel. It is called The Harringay. I actually drove past it twice before speaking to the garage owner next door who informed me it had changed hands but was definitely the right place. I had booked a single room and I understood it had an ensuite shower room, The room was dirty and run down, paintwork was badly marked and dirty, the skirting boards were thick with dust, the carpet was old and looked like it had not been cleaned for years and the artificial sheep skin rug next to the bed was filthy. It was a very hot day so I drew back the curtains to find the bottom half of the window was a board and the glass on the top half was thick with pigeon faeces. I was able to open the window for fresh air
There was no ensuite !! the bathroom was on the other side of the corridor and this was to be shared with another guest. The bathroom was in a horrible decorative state, the sink needed updating and the shower tray was disgusting, was very badly stained and the grout in the tiles was stained brown, I showered in my flip flops so my feet would be clean. Had to shower as it was a 30 degree day and after travelling 6 hours to get there I needed to freshen up otherwise I would have given it a miss.
There is no dining room. hence breakfast was delivered to your room. There are tea and coffee facilities in the room, but the tea bags are just loose on a tray with the coffee etc not sealed named brand ones. There is also nowhere to get a cold drink in the hotel other than the tap water.
The whole hotel seemed run down and in need of a full refurbishment.

I never received the key to the room. Every staff came with new explanation abt it. I already mentioned things that need updating but you didn't seem to care so why bore now? I will never come back there.

I paid nearly £200 for what was basically a store cupboard. It had a bed and nothing else.
Plus a random man just walked into my room at one point which, as a female, is horrifying. I don’t shower as it looked riddled and it was shared my everyone else. I think this place should be relabelled as a hostel.

Apon booking i was lead to believe their was parking however their wasnt , their is also very limited parking in the area. In the end we had to risk getting a fine.

How unclean it was, how many people were crammed in. The noise, staff not friendly and it was high cost!

Everything was awful. And despite not staying there, we were refused a refund.

Small room with a shared toilet/shower. Very expensive considering. Grime/stains on the radiator and walls. One single pillow which wasn't comfortable. Breakfast was a couple of cold sausages, cold beans, some ropey bacon and toast without butter.

Our room was excellent value for money , but room very close to road but traffic wasn’t bothersome
