Overview
First Impressions
Honestly, when I first climbed to the third floor of this Georgian house on Lupton Street, I wasn’t sure what to expect from Beautiful loft with En-Suit in a family house. The name pretty much says it all — this is someone’s actual home, and you’re staying in their converted loft space. It’s not your typical hotel experience, but that’s exactly what makes it work.
The Space Itself
The room has this cozy, lived-in feel that you just can’t fake in chain hotels. The slanted ceilings give it character, and there’s enough space to spread out without feeling cramped. What really sold me was the en-suite bathroom — it’s compact but well-designed, and having your own space means you’re not awkwardly bumping into the family downstairs at 6 AM. The bed is comfortable enough, and there’s decent storage for a few days’ worth of clothes.
Location in Camden
You know what’s great about staying on Lupton Street? You’re in London but it feels residential rather than touristy. Camden Town station is maybe a 10-minute walk, which gets you anywhere in the city pretty quickly. The area has this authentic North London vibe — you’ll see locals walking their dogs, kids heading to school, the usual neighborhood rhythm that makes you feel like you’re actually experiencing how Londoners live.
The Family House Experience
This unique boutique hotel without official star rating operates more like a homestay, which can be either perfect or problematic depending on what you’re after. The family who runs it is genuinely friendly — they’ll give you local recommendations and help with directions, but they’re not hovering around like hotel staff. I mean, you’ve got your own entrance to the loft, so there’s privacy when you want it. Just remember this isn’t a serviced hotel, so don’t expect daily housekeeping or a concierge desk.
Why Guests Love It
The 8.3 rating makes sense once you understand what this place is actually offering. It’s for travelers who want something more personal than a standard hotel room but still need their own space. The price point is reasonable for London accommodation, especially considering you get an entire loft area to yourself. Plus, staying in Camden puts you close to some brilliant markets, music venues, and that whole alternative scene the area’s famous for. It’s definitely not for everyone — if you need room service and daily turndown, look elsewhere — but for independent travelers who appreciate authenticity over polish, this little loft delivers something genuinely different.
To book hotel in London for fashion week buzz, travelers reserve early to pair Westminster sunrise walks with evening pub rituals.
Guest reviews
"Great value in a wonderful neighborhood!"
This is my favorite area to stay in London, can’t recommend it enough. A sanctuary from the busy city center. The location is well connected to the tube and buses. Everything you need is also within walking distance including grocery stores, great restaurants, coffee spots, and bakeries. The room was spacious and comfortable. Very quiet. I stayed during a rare heat wave (90 degrees F one day!) and although the room was warm during the day, it cooled off SO much at night. This area has a great breeze and I was surprised at how well I slept considering the weather. A fan was also provided which was helpful. The mini fridge and microwave are a big plus, and a shared kitchen is available if needed. The price was fair and a good deal in this usually expensive city. I would stay here again!
What could be improved: These weren’t an issue for me, but good to be aware of. There are a few flights of stairs to get up to the flat. Ceilings are low in some areas as its a top floor unit. If you’re very tall something to consider. The building has another rental room and a family living downstairs. Rarely saw anyone else and the space felt very private and quiet.

"Ideal for any visitors to the area or O2 Kentish Town"
Very close to the Tube. Very easy to find. Ideal for anyone attending the 02 Forum in Kentish Town as was the case with me. Just a short walk and you’re there, which was perfect! Ebony greeted me at the door and was very friendly and she indicated to me where to go. If you don’t like stairs, then not recommended as this is three flights up, but I’m okay with stairs so no issue. Room looked very cosy on arrival and it looked clean. Nice skylights above the bed which give the room ample daylight. Fridge and coffee/ tea facilities are available. Only downside is the shower does not have good pressure and goes cold every now and then. But not a big deal tbh. All in all nice comfortable stay. Many thanks.
What could be improved: Shower not the best

"Comfortable, clean and exactly where I needed to stay"
The room was very nice, clean and comfortable.
The location was just where I needed to be, so ideal for me
It is worthy of note that there is obviously some renovation work going on at the property, which might put some people off on first arrival, but this in no way affected access quality or cleanliness of my room and, in my opinion, shouldn't detract from the overall approval of the accommodation
I would stay certainly here again

"A bright and airy loft space in a quiet leafy street, but not very clean"
Its a lovely room, bright and airy, quiet, pleasing garden views, and a comfortable bed. I appreciated the bottle of water in the fridge, and the fresh smell of the laundered bedding and towel. Ebony was welcoming and provided her number in case of any issues. The location is excellent, in a quiet street with a great bakery near by and the tube 2 minutes walk away.
Good value.
What could be improved: The room needed a thorough clean. Every surface including the floor and the rug was covered in crumbs, hair, nail clippings, thick dust and sticky patches where things had been spilt, and the covers of the bed cushions smelt. The dust irritated my sinuses and in the end I wiped down everywhere with a damp cloth and after that it was a lot better.
The towel rail didn't appear to work so the towel remained wet.
The bed is pushed right under the eaves, I pulled the bed out so I could safely get in and out of bed without braining myself.

"Quiet and cosy family home close to Tufnell park Tube station"
Very close to Tufnell Park Tube station & Aces & Eights bar/venue. Nice views from the high windows, lots of space, access to a kitchen as well as microwave kettle and fridge upstairs. Bed was comfortable. Ironing board/Iron and some clothes storage available as well in the room. Small sofa and modern en suite.
What could be improved: Obviously can't be helped but I did accidentally bang my head on the ceiling a few times waking up as I'm not used to it, taller adults will not be able to stand up in the whole area, not a big problem just something to be aware of. I think there's WiFi available but the password didn't seem to work so you may need to ask more questions about it if Wi-Fi is important to you.

"Very good"
Good location to roam around Camden town thanks to the metro being so close by. Ebony and her husband were really nice and let some treats for my partner's birthday. Comfy bed ! S
What could be improved: Parking. Parking spots are hard to find as is a residential area. You have to find a place around the residencial area and downloading the Just park app.

"Met our needs and the location was excellent. Overall good value for money for a short London stay."
Location was excellent for our 3 day visit to London. Great bus service and tube within short walking distance. The attic room was larger and good bathroom with hot shower. There was a kettle, fridge and microwave and we could have used a kitchen downstairs had we wanted. Access was easy at a mutually agree time.
What could be improved: No Wifi but good phone signal. Slanting roof by the bed potentially a problem for tall people!
