I chose this location for its proximity to our daughter's flat, so was not looking for something centrally located. It was a 10+ minute walk to Kentish Town station and 15+ to Camden Road. The surrounding blocks felt quite quiet and residential. With a little searching we did find lovely pubs in the area about a 10 minute walk away (The Lion and the Unicorn for one).
The room itself was clean and cozy. We were on the 5th (by Canadian count) floor and were glad we just had carryon luggage because there wasn't a lift. The room was under the eaves which is whimsical and charming but did have a bit of an impact on the bathroom configuration and meant the ceiling in the shower/bath was quite low.
The staff were attentive when anything was asked of them and the lobby/lounge had a good work desk for those needing their computers.
All things considered, it was a great stay for a last minute visit and we would stay there again - but maybe on a lower floor for my 6'2" husband.
