Charlies Hotel  

The room was clean and the bathroom was very nice. Lovely cooked breakfast was a suprise as was expecting a continental breakfast.

Our room was under the stairs so quite noisy each time someone used the stairs. No mirror in the bathroom. No latch on the bathroom door. I possibly would use Charlie's again but may not recommend to a friend as I thought that it was slightly over priced for what you got.

The only thing I liked about the Hotel was the fact that it was in close proximity to where I was visiting, which saved me a lot of travelling the following morning.

The room was nothing like the room that was advertised on the web site, I booked a double room, however, ended up in a room downstairs which was small with a small double bed cramped into the corner. The bed divan was filthy and looked as if it had been picked of a skip. The advertised en-suite shower was tiny, I had trouble moving my arms to wash properly due to the compactness of the shower. Lighting was poor and overall it was cramped, the toilet seat was loose and the sink again was so small I had trouble getting my toothbrush under the tap to rinse it off. I would have expected a kettle in the room with some facility for making a cup of tea/coffee, however, this was not available.

Ideal location in quiet street. Off road parking is a real bonus.

This is a budget b&b and you get what you pay for. We had booked the last room for a couple which was a twin room. The room was a single with a second bed....you couldnt open the wardrobe door as one of the bads was stopping this....no tea or coffee facilities, and very very small shower toilet area. Breakfast was full English? Egg bacon and beans lol. The staff were very pleasant and for London prices it was ok.....if you are booking just be aware this is budget.

+) about 10min walk to Tube Station "Tufnell Park" +) breakfast was made freshly for everyone +) people working there were really friendly +) received own key for house: could come at any time +) flexible check-in time

-) rooms were so tiny, couldn't even open both suitcases at the same time without distracting the bathroom "door" -) no proper door for bathroom -) bathroom is badly isolated and it's freezing cold and wet in there (fan didn't help) -) bin wasn't emptied every day (although it was full) -) only one socket in the whole room (which was for the tv)

It's a small b&b and it should be treated as such. It ain't luxury but if you're on a budget, it's excellent. It's close to the city centre, plenty of shops and take-aways around, the neighbourhood is quite nice and you get a nice breakfast in the morning with all the orange juice you can possibly want to drink.

After having problems with the shower, we found out that hot/cold are swapped.

Quiet area within walking distance of Kentish Town. Friendly staff.

Bathroom was in a poor state of repair and you could hardly move once in there. Shower barely worked, was either hot or cold and the water dripped out...Also, extreme noise from floor above (possibly a kitchen) at around breakfast time.

We received a very warm welcome on the afternoon we arrived and were offered complimentary tea and croissant, which was an unexpected bonus. The staff really made us feel at home. It is a budget hotel, in a convenient and quiet residential location.

The walls are thin so you can hear floorboards creaking and doors being closed by other guests, but we knew this before we went and felt that it offered excellent value for money. Some of our party found the curtains too thin to cut out the street lights.

We just needed somewhere cheap to stay after going to a gig at the HMV Forum. This was a 15 minute walk away from the venue so it was ideal.

Breakfast was excellent. Beds were comfortable.Nice quiet area close to all attractions by underground. 5 mins walk from Tufnell Park station. Rooms very cheap so if you don't mind basic accommodation at a very affordable price then I would recommend this hotel to you.

No curtains up at window which directly faced my bed. Tiny shower room/toilet, no other issues.

the architecture and the design of the room

if the hotel can prepare some different plugs in different type for international visitors would be very good. I come from Holland, and the plugs are different, so in the hotel I cannot charge my laptop and mobile

Il Charlis Hotel, è un hotel o meglio un b&b senza pretese, davvero caratteristico. La posizione è ottima in una zona residenziale, con supermercati, e pub nei dintorni,(nb: tavern tuffnell park, carina ma molto costosa), zona molto tranquilla e vigilata, a 10 minuti di cammino dalla metro di tuffnell park, che con un paio di cambi di metro in altri 10 minuti ti porta al centro di Londra, quindi l'ideale per chi vuole girare Londra. La colazione è davvero buona e sostanziosa, sopratutto se ci si vuole immergere nei costumi locali e mangiare bacon&eggs è davvero perfetta, ma hanno anche latte, the, il caffè è quello locale, ossia acqua colorata. Per quanto riguarda il pagamento ci è stato richiesto all'arrivo, ma quando ho spiegato che non eravamo riusciti a cambiare, non c'è stato problema a posticiparlo a due giorni dopo. Insomma, consiglierei di andarci, per chi vuole vivere la realtà locale, per chi si adatta ad una stanza piccola, ma accogliente, ed essere in una posizione ottima per chi vuole visitare Londra, senza pagare un prezzo eccessivo. Spero di esservi d'aiuto per la scelta! Buon viaggio a tutti! :)

La stanza era matrimoniale, molto piccola ma aveva una scrivania, due sedie(da noi usate come comodini) e un'armadio; il bagno è davvero minuscolo, e il mio ragazzo che è molto alto si è lamentato un pò..però per l'uso che ne abbiamo fatto noi cioè dormirci, lavarci e uscire, andava bene, la pulizia veniva fatta ogni giorno, solo il cambio degli asciugamani abbiamo dovuto richiederlo, visto che abbiamo soggiornato per 4 notti, ed è avvenuto senza problemi.

Il bagno piccolo ed essenziale

Cortesia eccezzionale!!!!!
