2.0 star property
Islington
8.0 out of 10, Very good, (3 reviews)
"This was the 3 hardest nights sleep I've experienced in years. The room was supposed to be a suite but the bathroom was communal, the window was so old, all the chatter from the smokers that sat on the front stoop until 2 or 3 in the morning plus the traffic noise from City Road seeped through. The room was not as presented online, thus I did not expect, nor want, a hostel but that is the reality."
