Charlie Hotel

Arrived in late evening of booking, knowing full well there was no 24hr reception. Rang bell and was ushered in to what appeared to be dining room area where the guy who let me in sat down at his laptop and stiffly asked my details. I was then given key and given rough details about how to get to what appeared to be a basement flat by stairs, and though I clearly had a walking stick with me plus luggage was offered NO help. Once I got down to my room, my first impressions of it was that it did NOT match the pictures given on this site for two person room. I also heard on entering a persistent humming sound which at first I thought might be the TV, electrical device, or air con, but though I unplugged everything seemed to continue THROUGH the wall (was later told by staff on leaving that it was the noise of an electric fan from a bathroom on the other side of the wall whose light had been left on, though HOW this light had STAYED on the whole time I was there baffles me!!). Sadly, this sound persisted ALL through the night AND onto the next morning, and when I returned to the room later the next night (two night stay due to attending a funeral in the area) it restarted. Result: previous little sleep in this room, without sleeping tablet or music to drown out noise. As for 'breakfast' it equals EITHER, SMALL fry-up, omelette, OR cereal, 1/2 a cup of coffee/tea, toast and orange juice. AVOID THIS HOTEL IF YOU CAN AND ROOM 8 IF YOU ARE GIVEN IT AT ALL COSTS

If you want to get your head down only this place is fine, pleasant welcome though my room was pretty tatty. Broken sink wasn't what i expected but it didn't leak at least. Breakfast is cash n carry quality but I can't expect much more due to cost of room. Really quiet which was lovely!

Very nice bed and breakfast. Good breakfast. A bit hard to communicate with a language barrier but we figured it out. They worked with us as we were a late arrival too. Room was tight with 5 of us but we weren’t in there very often. Would stay again!

After reading all the dreadful reviews our stay at Charlie Hotel was a pleasant surprise.The location is great and the neighbourhood was quiet, leafy and seemed safe. Charlie Hotel decor is abit dated but clean. We had freshly laundered sheets and towels . The beds were comfortable and there was hot water. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our breakfast was a delicious and included in the price of our room. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location - within walking distance of O2 forum Kentish Town and Tufnell Park stations. Very basic but was clean. Provided a hearty English breakfast.
