En Suits room with your own bathroom and toilet
First Impressions
En Suits room with your own bathroom and toilet isn’t your typical hotel — honestly, it’s more like staying in someone’s thoughtfully converted home on Green Lanes. The name pretty much tells you everything upfront, which I actually appreciate after dealing with so many places that oversell what they’re offering. This unique boutique hotel without official star rating sits right in the heart of Harringay, and you know what? Sometimes the unrated gems surprise you the most.
Location & Neighborhood
Green Lanes is this brilliant stretch that most tourists never discover, but locals absolutely love. You’re in proper North London here — think Turkish bakeries, Lebanese restaurants, and that authentic London vibe you won’t find in Zone 1. The 29 bus runs right down Green Lanes and gets you to central London in about 30 minutes, plus Manor House tube station is a decent walk if you prefer the Piccadilly line. I mean, it’s not Covent Garden on your doorstep, but that’s exactly why it works.
The Room
The room itself is refreshingly straightforward — you get exactly what’s promised, which is your own private space with an ensuite bathroom. No pretense, no fancy marketing speak, just clean and functional accommodation. The bathroom is compact but well-designed, and having your own toilet and shower after a long day exploring London? That’s honestly all you need sometimes. The space feels more like a self-contained unit than a traditional hotel room, which some people will love and others might find a bit too minimalist.
Practical Considerations
This isn’t a place with a 24-hour concierge or room service — it operates more like quality bed and breakfast accommodation without the breakfast part. You’ll want to manage your expectations accordingly, but that also means you’re not paying for services you might not use anyway. The area has plenty of local shops and that brilliant Turkish restaurant just down the road that does incredible grilled meats. Parking on Green Lanes can be tricky during the day, but evenings and weekends are usually fine if you’re driving.
Why Guests Love It
What really works here is the honesty of it all. You’re not getting marketed some fantasy London experience — you’re getting a clean, private space in a genuinely interesting part of the city that most visitors never see. The 7.8 rating makes perfect sense when you consider what you’re actually paying for versus what you receive. It’s ideal if you want to experience London like someone who actually lives here, rather than bouncing between tourist attractions. Sure, it’s not going to wow anyone looking for hotel glamour, but for travelers who value authenticity over amenities? This little spot on Green Lanes delivers exactly what it promises.
