O2 Academy Islington

Great location close to major hub for underground. Noisey busy street but not a big deal if you don’t have to sleep with window open which we did due to the heat. One fan was supplied. Rooms were small. No flat surface to lay anything on. Kitchenette was a floating shelf 6” wide with an electric kettle and mugs. Bathroom was horrible. Stand up shower was small and 2x2 feet of floor space to function. But worst part was sink had 2 facets one for hot one for cold that were push activated. U had to hold down each to use before it ran out with just enough pressure to not make to too forceful as to splash outside the tiny sink. Cold started warm turned hot then cold. No surface in bathroom to lay items and barley room to turn around. A lot can be overlooked but this facet situation is ridiculous. Not even to be able to turn it on to brush your teeth is unreal. Holding facet with one hand and trying to wince with the other or washing one hand then the other Loved the location and hotel was fine but amenities were lacking. Definitely needs upgrading

Very handy location, with great tube links to Heathrow and city. Lovely area, pretty streets. Lots of handy shops. Room was great, bigger than expected. Would happily stay again.

Our stay at the Grange Beauchamp was excellent! The location couldn’t be better! It is within a 5 minute walk to Russel Square Station on the Piccadilly Line, and a 5-7 minute walk to Holborn Station which has access to the Piccadilly and Central lines for the Tube. It is quiet, and safe, with parks close by, and right around the corner from The British Museum! The staff were lovely and helpful. They were always smiling and welcoming. Our room was very large, which was perfect for two adults and two teens. We didn’t feel like we were cramped and on top of each other. Our room was very clean and in good shape, with normal wear and tear. Best of all, it was cool because of the Air Conditioning! The room could have used a dresser for storage, though there were two closets for our things. We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more.
