London Shelton Hotel, Finsbury Park

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

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.

I love it there, nice location

Inside ambience was great

The shower in one of the rooms was very dirty, not fit to use

i was refused a room at close to midnight because the hotel says they are not even registered with Hotels.com for the past few months and had no record of me booking. They were full so I had no option but to seek another hotel late into the night

The staff were all very nice, but the property is falling apart. My shower fell apart while I was in it.

We left due to extremely unsanitary, and visibly unsafe (we were told to avoid the bus due to danger by the Manager.) There were no sheets and both the doors and windows did not lock and there were a number of clearly intoxicated and threatening people roaming the halls. I am writing this on behalf of my mother and young sister and the bad driver did not want to let them get out. It is our belief that this is not suitable to post this hotel on expedia without proper warning. We were also promised a refund after leaving early which was not honoured.

Good location for the festival we attended however very let down by this hotel. Holes in walls,.mould round sink and shower cubicle no room to move in shower. No car Park just room 2 park on pavement if you're lucky. Got told to park on the road and pay yet got a parking ticket ! Breakfast was awful. No1 greeted us and the staff were Having an argument on arrival to the room. Food awful. Tea and coffee awful. Very noisy hotel from outside noise and inside people banging doors..would not recommend

The hotel was in need of modernising and the decor and furnishings were extremely dated. Staff failry friendly and location was ok. Room was small and hot although room fan helped despite being noisy. Overall did the job with location and avialablilty but expensive for what is offered.

This hotel was the most disgusting place I have ever seen. This stay was for my daughter's 18th Birthday present. She sent me photos of the room, including stains everywhere, chewing gum on radiator, wholes in wall & broken electrical socket. She complained & was moved to another room, but still very dirty. This was not a cheap night's stay, but I would recommend not going near this place.

Very friendly and polite night receptionist who helped me when I made a mistake booking

Hotel is attached to a bar which plays loud music until 2am every night. Rundown building no fridge in rooms as stated online. Bathroom floor looked dirty, bed was hard, towels were scratchy.

The room was clean with a modern bathroom and a clean bed......nothing else!!! No chair, chest of drawers or wardrobe!! Tv was ok with satellite channels. Never saw the same person on reception and most of them didn't even speak!! Very rude. Apart from that it suited my needs .

We knew we were getting cheap and cheerful (a bed and a bog) and wanted something close to the rail network-which was exactly what we got. The hotel wasn’t the cleanest and is in need of some serious TLC, but the bed was spotless, bathroom clean enough-albeit the monsoon part of the shower spurred over the top and straight into the loo! No wardrobe/hanging space which was a bit awkward. Breakfast area was quirky.... outside under a veranda with a patio heater, but food was adequate and staff were helpful. But would we stay again? Probably..... it did what it needed.

Broken tv, broken table, broken shower and broken draws on arrival asked to be fixed but wasn’t fixed over the weekend we spend there. Only good thing about the stay was the WiFi

What it says on the tin. Helpful and let us check in early

As a frequent guest at budget hotels, my expectations are low, but even these were not met. My room did not have a closet, or anywhere to place my items besides a small desk and chair. Hence almost the entirety of my luggage had to be dumped on the fairly limited floor space. The windows did little to mute the noise from outside, which is significant because the hotel overlooks a fairly busy street corner, with vehicles driving past semi-frequently into the late hours. On the plus side, the room had an en suite and good WiFi signal with one router per floor for maximum coverage. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. They do go above and beyond to make their guests feel as comfortable as possible.

Shabby. Tv broken

Easy to find and close to train station breakfast was nice but limited as what they had no sausage bacon or orange juice, friendly staff but there English wasn’t great noisy as the walls are rather thin some good places to eat a short walk away
