“This North London property, uniquely set in a Grade II* listed building, offers serviced apartments with kitchenettes for truly independent stays; its blend of period charm and modern amenities appeals particularly to families and business travelers. The hotel's family-friendly focus, coupled with its sustainability initiatives and proximity to attractions like Alexandra Palace, makes it a balanced choice. I find it a particularly calm and cultured option in a busy city.”

some issues
slow reception bright light
The reception was a mess. It took ages to check in, and the staff seemed unsure of everything. the tv in my room didn't work at all. it just showed an error message, and i couldn't figure out how to turn off this super bright light above the stove. it wasn't a smooth experience, i expected better.
