Journeys - accommodation in Islington

Staff were very approachable and helpful throughout our stay. The room was clean and tidy. We had the premium double room with city view.. very nice view of st Paul's cathedral and the shard. There are no tea/coffee making facilities in this room but there is a fridge; you know this going in so not a problem. It is a small room with a tv but the bed can sit upright as well using a remote so saves space. The toilet and shower are surrounded by frosted glass so you can see the outlines of what your partner is doing but cant actually see anything. I can see from reviews this has bothered people but it's not a big deal if you are comfortable with your partner (as you should be). The hotel was cheaper than a premier inn closer to the family we were visiting so you benefit in that respect. You can get a cup of tea or coffee at reception for a small cost. Breakfast was delicious and there was lots of choice. The bar serves delicious cocktails and all of the staff were very friendly. Less than 10 minute walk to farringdon station and the station itself gets you to a lot of places around London via the tube. By less than 10 minutes out of the Thames link side of the station, I mean; turn right walk to the end (very short), turn left (at the pub) walk to the cross roads (cross the road), turn right and walk straight and yotel is there. Would definitely stay again.

Great value. Difficult to sleep in the heat. Surprisingly poor ventilation with windows, and no fans provided. Fans should be standard in high heat if no air conditioning.

Perfect for a quick stay in London, clean room with good air con, helpful staff
