Grand Palace Hotels

Close to Turnpike station, very handy for commuting on the Piccadily line. Lots of shops nearby, including M&S outlet with cheap and good clothes! Room surprisingly comfy for a budget hotel.

Although the booking read that checkout was from 11-12am, they kicked me out at 11. Also, the breakfast place was a little depressing, served only instant coffee and the tea was horrid... Reccomend only for severe need of economy..

the hotel was basic but clean and served us well, staff were helpful and everything was good and value for money.

not keen on early checkout of 10.30, when it was stated as 12.00 on the booking confirmation

The staff were friendly, the location was good for what I needed close to Bounds Green. Enjoyed the breakfast. I would have loved to have seen this hotel in it's heyday - presumably about 100 years ago??

The room was "interesting" - in an annexe down the road. I could hear the guy in the next room snoring the walls were very thin. I also smacked my head on the bathroom door frame going to the toilet in the night which was under 6ft high and I am 6ft 2in. I still have the bloody handkerchief to prove it!!!

Handy for public transport

Felt like a boarding house although room was clean. Very strange set up.

It was in a good location just north of the city, with good tube network about a 10 minute walk away. This is a no frills "hotel". This is somewhere to rest your head, not to really spend any time in. My room had ensuite toilet, shower and very small sink, two basic beds (not luxury mattresses by any means!) small tv with fuzzy reception, sturdy wardrobe with hangers and chest of drawers, kitchen sink, refrigerator and kettle. It's functional, but would be last resort booking, for something cheap and near to the city.

The room I had was street facing and therefore noisy until the early hours of the morning, the shower clip to hold the shower head was broken, and there was no hot water on the first night/morning. Breakfast didn't suit my diet so skipped it after checking it out the first morning - I think there was orange squash, ham, cheese, madeira cake, boiled eggs and toast etc.

To walk from the hotel to the Underground (Turnpike Lane) takes about 5 minutes. On the last day we could leave our suitcases at the hotel to enjoy another day in London (and not having to walk around with them).

Upon arrival, the manager acted as if he didn't know about our reservation (while our names were already in his book?) The staff is not very friendly. The bathroom was extremely small (this might be different in other rooms). The hotel changed it's name to Athena Palace. Every day the same breakfast... Situated along a noisy road.

The hotel is very close to the tube station on the Piccadily line which takes you in 20 min to the central London. Also the fact that it is close to the Wood Green shopping centre and the low price of the hotel rooms.

The mouldy, smelly bathroom in urgent need of renovation.

I thought the best feature of the hotel was its location, it was well situated to access central London

It was claimed to have internet access, but the wired access point was not working due to the wires not connected and exposed

Easy access to central London, room seemed to have recently been re-painted, great kitchenette with microwave - so more of an apart-hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful. Convenience food stores closeby. Tea and coffee in room, flatscreen tv.

Good location, Good staff,clean rooms

Everythin g was ok

nice hotel near subway and bus stops everything i need is nearby shops mall

sometimes underground trains sound under the hotel

Lovely staff and spacious room.

Many difficulties to find the hotel because of the changing of the name in fact the hotel's name is athena palace. The hotel is not very beautiful
