Great and convenient place to stay
Pros:

Excellent location, very clean, friendly staff. All facilities worked, shower was powerful and coffee/tea supplies all fresh.

Cons:

Due to the location the stay was not the cheapest so we omitted breakfast options, however this was due to our budget/room availability and not anything to do with the hotel.

Pros:

Great location and close to Camden Markets

Cons:

Hotel advertised as broadcasting live sport, which is not true, the hotel does not show sport. The pub across the road does, but no priority was given to hotel guests and they would not allow us to book a table.

All notifications and communications informed us breakfast begun at 8am. When checking in we were advised it was actually 9am, which was hugely inconvenient for us. When this was questioned with the receptionist, and after showing the emails and messages received, I was told I was confused. I was not confused, everything clearly showed 8am. When I asked for a contact to complain about this I was advised I would not get anywhere.

The three rooms we had were very small and basic, nicely decorated and mostly clean, aside from dust.

The rooms were very noisy at night when trying to sleep.
We were all woken at around 7am by bottle collection outside.
Had to check if the window was open it was so noisy, but it was shut.

All in all I would not recommend, poor customer service and I do not feel it was value for money.

Lovely place for a quick stay in the capital - just pack some earbuds and you're sorted!
Pros:

Lovely room, small but absolutely fine for a 24h stay.

Cons:

I really didn't sleep very well at all - the location was excellent for the Roundhouse but it also means its in a very busy area. The hotel also can't control that at all.
