Regent’s Park Sleeps 8 Pet Friendly & Garden

First Impressions

Regent’s Park Sleeps 8 Pet Friendly & Garden isn’t your typical hotel — it’s actually more like staying in someone’s well-loved London home, which honestly makes all the difference when you’re traveling with a group or family. The moment I walked up to the Victorian terrace on Marlston Munster Square, I could see why this three-star property has such a loyal following. There’s something refreshingly unpretentious about the whole setup, especially when you spot the garden tucked behind the building.

The Space That Works

What struck me most was how the apartment manages to feel both spacious and cozy at the same time. With room for eight people, you’d expect it to feel cramped or impersonal, but the layout actually flows really well — there are proper gathering spots where everyone can hang out together, plus quiet corners when you need to escape. The kitchen is properly equipped too, not just the usual hotel kitchenette with a mini-fridge and hope for the best.

Location & Neighborhood Gems

Here’s what I love about this spot in London — you’re literally a five-minute walk from Regent’s Park (hence the name), but more importantly, you’re in Camden without being right in the touristy chaos of Camden Market. Marlston Square itself is one of those lovely residential streets that feels properly London, with the kind of neighbors who actually know each other. The Tube connections are solid from here, and there’s a decent corner shop practically next door for those inevitable late-night snack runs.

Pet-Friendly Reality

The pet-friendly aspect isn’t just a marketing tick-box here — they actually mean it. The garden space gives dogs somewhere to stretch their legs (trust me, this matters more than you think in central London), and the whole setup feels designed for families who travel with their four-legged members. I watched a couple of guests walking their dogs around the square in the morning, and it just felt natural rather than like they were sneaking around hoping nobody would notice.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t going to win any design awards, and the 7.5 rating reflects that honest, middle-ground reality. But what it does well, it does really well — it gives you proper space to spread out, a genuine neighborhood feel, and that increasingly rare thing in London: a bit of outdoor space that’s actually yours to use. The parking situation is typical London (meaning challenging), but the trade-off is being so well-connected by public transport that you honestly don’t need a car anyway. For groups or families who want to experience London like locals rather than tourists, this place just works.

London’s apartments welcome long stays with terrace views, museum access, and bike routes to hidden mews streets.
