The staff was very helpful and pleasent the room was fine for the price apart from bathroom being quite small and only a skyline window for ventilation if it rained you couldnt open it coz it was on an automatic shut and would rain in so it was very stuffy and the only other complaint i have there were ants in the room

Comfortable clean room, noisy
Room was perfectly nice, very loud could hear the pub and street until about 2.30am. Not a problem for us because we went out, but if you’re planning on sleeping at a normal time then not great.

Friendly Local London Pub
I have stayed here once before, rooms are above the pub but with a separate entrance next door. Parking is limited but I have managed to get a spot in front of the pub both times. Not sure what the score is about parking on the roads but but did not matter for me at least. The pub is a friendly pub for locals, no food but there are plenty of places to eat within walking distance. Rooms are fine and have a decent shower and fridge. There was milk, capri sun in there and cornflakes on the small table with a bowl spoon etc which I was not expecting. Had a couple of beers on the night and played pool with the regulars. All in all good value for London.

Clean and Comfortable
Happy with stay. Ten minute walk from tube. We checked in at the bar and was shown to room which was through another entrance. Room was clean and comfortable. Although room was on main road, noise wasn't an issue for me. I would stay again.

Convenient not costly
Convenient for bus & underground. Lots of shops & restaurants nearby. Room itself, although tight (double bed against the wall!), was clean & quiet. From the photographs on the website I think there are better rooms available but we were only there for 1 night so weren't overly fussed.

Clean inside but terrible outside
Outside looks scary but inside clean and just renovated. Based on the London price range I think this is good deal. Some small issues are: no shampoo in the shower and cant catch wifi using the iphone, but the laptop catches it.

Don't judge it from the outside
Initially I was slightly concerned when we pulled up outside the hotel as it was surrounded by scaffolding. The staff were friendly and once inside the side entrance it was a completely different to the outside. Our room was adequate, although in need of a lick of paint to freshen it up the bed was comfortable and the shower worked well. Don't stay if you like peace and quiet as the noise from the pub does go on until the early hours, although this didn't bother us. Great location for going to the football at White Heart Lane. Plenty of shops and eateries along West Green Lane. We managed to park outside the hotel which was convenient.

Don't judge a book by it's cover
Staff very welcoming. Lots of local shops. Don't judge a book by it's cover, there's some external work ongoing but the route through to the rooms has been renovated and is nice and bright, the rooms are fine and yes I would stay again.

Don't judge this hotel by the it's outside and bar
On entering the pub to check-in, I wondered why have I booked here. My attitude quickly changed as I was greeted by a lovely girl on reception/bar who checked us in and escorted us to our rooms. As soon as I entered the hotel I was pleasantly surprised to fine a clean modern finish in hallways and rooms. I had a pleasant stay as my room was perfect for what I needed. Also the free fruit drink in the fridge was perfect as it was so hot. While the hotel could benefit from a better check-in system or upgraded pub the hotel and rooms were fine and I would recommend.

Good rooms. Poor service. Horrible entrance.
Good: hot water. Room heating. Internet. Cleanliness. Poor: Website says checkin at 12noon. Arrived at 12noon. The maid slammed the door shut and said they they were not open until 1pm. No waiting area and it was cold wet and rainy. No breakfast, shower mat.

Functional, good location, basic facilities
Positives - Clean room - Pleasant staff - Good location Negatives - There was very little natural daylight in my room (number 10) which looked out onto another half built room! - There was no clothes storage (wardrobes or drawers) but there were a lot of hooks to hang things on - The bed was a bit hard

Opened too soon - still a 'construction site'
Terrible service and no one to speak to on check out, just a key drop which we were not told about. Renovations are ongoing, dust everywhere, and many things in the room don't work, e.g. some lights, bathroom fan, etc. Has long term potential to be nice, but not there yet.

Great Place to Stay
It was a great place to stay. Close enough to everything that you want to see. The Underground is close and gets you where you want to be within 30 minutes. The area of the hotel is a little rough but that did not take away from my stay. I would definitely stay there again.

Terrible neighborhood-very far away from the sight
We didn't even stay and they tried to charge us for all 3 nights we booked.....I had to argue with them and show then the reservation that states we would only pay 1 day if we decided to cancel. The place was much nicer in the pictures. Even our taxi driver told us that it is a bad part of town and he wouldn't stay there.....Our second cab driver that took us back to cancel couldn't believe hotels.com would back the place!! Very dissatisfied!!

Hidden gem
Last minute booking, made on the reviews read. Great friendly staff, the pub may not be everyones taste, good beers, inexpensive and nice people.Food from the Japanese menu is stunning but is served in the pub surroundings so dont expect little wind chimes and Geisha girls.Shown through to the hotel accommodation and the contrast is amazing, obviously alot of time and thought into the decor and layout, not massive rooms but decor and layout are top notch. Accommodation, meal beer, parking wifi all for about £100!!

Excellent place to stay with great price
We were a bit worried at first as the neighborhood is rather low income but found out from hotel staff which places were good to eat. The pub is a bit rustic but staff are friendly, Japanese food there is awesome, there are grocery stores around and the hotel kitchen had everything we needed. Staff stocked and cleaned our room every couple days which was great. The rooms and whole hotel part of it are brand new and we just really enjoyed staying there. Seven sisters tube station was only 10 minute walk away and it is a very central station to get anywhere in the London or outlying areas. Cost of the hotel was very affordable. We will definetely stay there again.

Hotel right on top of an excellent pub, sports bar
I appreciated the privacy offered by the hotel in that it does away with the formality of the orthodox reception. You feel as if you are entering your own accommodation building. The pub and club downstairs means you don't have to take transport to be entertained. Yet the rooms are soundproof, so that when you eventual retire to your room. It seems as if the club and pub are miles away. Breakfast is stocked in your room and you do not have to wake up before 10am to eat no be disturbed for room cleaning. If you have danced till wee wee hours and want to stay in bed to recover.

Optimalt til en drengetur
Jeg har nu boet på dette hotel to år i træk i forbindelse med Fodbold + VM i dart i London. Hotellet er optimalt til en "drenge tur", hvor man kan leve med lidt utætte vinduer, mangel på varmt vand mv. - da pubben under hotellet trækker voldsomt op + den gode service.
