Goodwin St

Abbiamo trascorso una notte al Goodwin. Host reattivo, gentile, comunicazione adeguata durante i giorni precedenti l'arrivo. Le informazioni finali per il check-in da parte di Expedia, attese entro le 24 ore precedenti, non sono però arrivate in tempo, nonostante il sollecito il giorno precedente l'arrivo. Ci siamo presentati all'ingresso esterno a sera tarda per il check-in, la chiamata al numero preposto non è andata a buon fine. Casualmente una signora sulle scale ci ha notati e gentilmente ci ha fatti accedere, facendo da tramite con l'host per le verifiche. Le informazioni per il check-in di Expedia sono poi arrivate durante la notte. La camera nel seminterrato è nuova, pulita, adeguata. Molto comoda alla metropolitana per il centro, a pochi passi. Consigliato.

Great location handy to the park, public transport, shops and importantly, good coffee. Check in was a bit off but was quickly sorted out. Photos matched the reality but the description did not. Owners fault or booking site fault can't say. One minor thing was no water glasses. Overall quite happy.

Cons: - There is no A/C. Table top fans are provided. - The room facing the street is super noisy at night because there are at least multiple commercial front-load dumpsters that are constantly worked on by garbage collection workers throughout the weeknights (it's non-stop for the whole nights). I think the rooms are directly facing the garbage collection and transfer station or something like that. - There is no blackout curtains in the room. The room gets so bright starting 4am and you can't sleep at all for the 2nd half of the night. - The kitchenware are very bad that you can hardly make meals at all. The non-stick pans are all scratched and you can even see big piece of non-stick coating peeling off. Some non-stick pots are not compatible with induction stove in the room (so the stove can't detect or turn on at all.) There is no dish detergent provided so you can't even wash the kitchenware properly. There is no basic seasonings (salt, pepper) provided at all. - Staff are on site during the day. But they are in and out so not always available in the office if you expect something like hotel. They can be reached by WhatsApp but just be prepared to wait sometime until they are back. Pros: - super close to subway station - cleaniness is good. The pictures shown on listing is true reflection of the room. - staff is super friendly. The cleaners and the other hosts are welcoming and helpful. - restaurants, supermarkets, Starbucks are within short walkable distance.

Very clean - bathroom was especially worth a mention - lovely shower, no mould. Balcony space with two chairs was plenty big enough to sit in the sun and nice to have outdoor space. Fridge was nice to have. We didn't receive the access details and no reply to our emails so we had to chase with Hotels.com who got it sorted. Once we had the instructions, check in was easy. No safety notice (evacuation process, fire escapes) in the room - this may have been displayed somewhere else but I didn't see it. Very noisy guests in room next door (not the hotel's fault). They came back after midnight and had TV on so loud we could hear every word from our room. Think they had a bathroom outside the room as constant in and out, slamming doors. Area around hotel felt safe, lots of shops. Very close to Finsbury Park tube. Overall, a great value hotel and we'd 100% stay here again. Not sure how we've not come across it before!

Great place to stay. Clean, bright, water provided.
