OYO London Shelton Hotel, Finsbury Park

Pleasant stay. Comfy bed and warm Television didn’t work

Inside ambience was great

Filthy and run down Positives first: Bed was comfy, carpet looked new. Negatives: Reception dirty and run down. Guy at reception had to move his car so I could park. He took me to my room which was number 10 but my key fob had a completely different number on it but still opened it Bathroom was filthy and hadn't been cleaned see pictures. TV was old and large scratch on it. I didn't look underneath the sheets as was too scared of what stains etc would lurk underneath and decided to sleep with clothes on incase I caught something. Didn't say on the website there was a nightclub nextdoor that actually felt like I was actually in there with the people despite my window being shut firmly. We were guests at the Ally Pally for the darts and really struggled to get a hotel as it was short notice so this is the only reason we stayed here but was aware of the reviews before and decided we didn't have much choice as we would be partaking in hospitality and didn't want to drink and drive so had to be reasonably close for an Uber. They say you get what you pay for but it wasn't cheap and cost £129 without breakfast. I would definitely not recommend this hotel.

Near to trains station. Bed linen clean. That’s were the positive stops. Smell of food and smoke overpowered in corridors and rooms. Loads of rubbish outside hotel. Rooms in terrible need of renovations. Tiles falling off in bathroom. Badly stained toilet,shower totally unusable. sock covering smoke alarm. Other peoples rubbish in the room. Dark depressing corridors and rooms. Receptionist asleep and snoring when we left in the morning. Just left key on reception desk.

Not a great hotel experience at all as there was no parking available even though I doubled checked. There was loud music playing until after midnight, bathroom was dirty and no tea/coffee facilities. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Booked last minute for one overnight stay. Checked in quite late which was no problem. Guy at front desk was very helpful and friendly, the room was clean and comfortable, with a TV, no complaints at all, will use this hotel again for sure. Was also nice and quiet which is absolutely what I needed after a long day.
