Comfy 2-Bed Flat On Upper St – Next To Tube
First Impressions
Honestly, when I first saw Comfy 2-Bed Flat On Upper St – Next To Tube, I wasn’t expecting much from the name — it sounds pretty straightforward, right? But this unique boutique hotel without official star rating really surprised me once I stepped inside. The building sits right on Upper Street, and you know what? The location alone makes it worth considering if you’re planning to explore London properly.
Location & Neighborhood
Upper Street in Islington is honestly one of those areas that locals love but tourists sometimes overlook. You’re literally steps from Angel tube station, which means central London is maybe 15 minutes away on the Northern line. But here’s the thing — you might not want to leave Islington that often. The street buzzes with independent shops, gastropubs, and that kind of authentic London vibe you can’t fake in touristy areas.
The Space
This isn’t your typical hotel room setup — it’s actually a proper two-bedroom flat, which changes everything about how you experience the city. The kitchen is fully equipped (I mean, properly equipped, not just a kettle and mini-fridge situation), so you can grab fresh ingredients from Chapel Market nearby and actually cook. The living area feels lived-in rather than sterile, with comfortable seating where you can spread out after long days of sightseeing.
What Makes It Special
The whole place has this residential feel that makes you forget you’re staying in tourist accommodation. Large windows let in plenty of natural light, and the decor strikes that perfect balance between homey and stylish — think modern furniture without the cold, minimalist edge you get in some boutique places. There’s proper storage space too, which honestly matters more than you’d think when you’re staying somewhere for more than a couple nights.
Why Guests Love It
What really works here is the freedom it gives you. You can start your morning with coffee in your own space, plan your day without rushing to check out, and come back to somewhere that feels like a temporary home base rather than just a place to sleep. The fact that you’re staying on one of Islington’s main drags means evening entertainment is right outside your door — whether that’s dinner at one of the many restaurants or drinks at a proper London pub. Plus, that tube connection means you’re never really far from anywhere you want to be in the city.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
