Hertford Vacations from $813

The accommodation is beautifully presented and all the fittings are of a high quality and spotlessly clean. The room was very comfortable and during a heatwave the provided fan was sufficient to keep the room cool enough to be confortable. I spent the evening in the pub (next door and also the reception for the property) which was also well presented and welcoming. I dindt try the evening menu, as I had rather a large lunch but the food emerging from the kitchen looked very appetising. This was a short (15mins?) walk from my client site in Islington and the walk, including crossing the canal, was both pleasant and easy to navigate. This will, no doubt, be my first port of call when visiting that area in the future. Great find.

Burn or accept to be awaken by a fire alarm. Spent 4 nights on the 3rd floor. Very clean, my room was of very acceptable size for one person ("compact double", more compact than double though), bathroom in perfect condition, great front desk, copious breakfast, excellent value. Two problems though, one minor and one major: Minor problem: the elevator is the slowest possible elevator anywhere on the planet since the invention of the elevator and then, quite often, when going from the reception to the third floor, it would actually first go to the fourth floor and then turn back down to the third. Major problem: on the first night at around 1 am, I was awaken by the fire alarm and again on the fourth night it awakened me once at 2:30 am and a second time at 5:30 am. Many people actually went down the stairs during the 2:30 alarm because it lasted for some time. They have oversensitive smoke detectors that are triggered by steam from hot showers or by spray. 2 nights out of 4 awaken by a false alarm is a bit too much and I will not return before reassurances that the problem has been fixed.

This immaculate hotel has everything! We loved the location. Enjoyed the restaurants. Staff were very accommodating and generous. Will stay again!

“Despite any challenges or inconveniences caused by facilities or noise, the exceptional hospitality and service at Chesham Apartments, Building 17, more than compensate. In a tough economic climate, the dedication of the personnel—Sobreina, Abdulrahman, La Bedraa, La Veina, and Balash—has elevated the experience beyond that of many five-star accommodations. All credit goes to the outstanding staff, excluding any building or furniture-related concerns.”
