Relocation Loft, Fully Serviced & Uni-Linked, 10min tube

First Impressions

Honestly, when I first heard the name Relocation Loft, Fully Serviced & Uni-Linked, 10min tube, I thought it sounded more like a classified ad than a hotel. But you know what? That straightforward approach actually tells you everything you need to know about this place. It’s a three-star property that doesn’t try to be fancy — it just delivers exactly what it promises, and it does it really well.

Location & Getting Around

The location on Colindeep Gardens in Colindale might not sound glamorous, but hear me out. This area is actually perfect if you’re staying longer term or need easy access to universities around north London. The Colindale tube station is genuinely about 10 minutes away on foot, and from there you’re connected to the entire city via the Northern line. I mean, you can be in central London in about 25 minutes, which honestly beats a lot of “centrally located” hotels when you factor in actual travel time.

The Space

What really impressed me was how they’ve set up each apartment — because that’s essentially what you’re getting here. The loft-style layout feels surprisingly spacious, and the kitchen is actually functional, not just a mini-fridge and kettle situation. You’ve got proper cooking facilities, which is a game-changer if you’re staying for more than a few days. The whole setup feels more like a serviced residence than a traditional hotel room, and that works brilliantly for longer stays.

Practical Details

The “fully serviced” part isn’t just marketing speak — they actually maintain the place properly and provide regular housekeeping. There’s reliable WiFi throughout (essential if you’re working remotely), and the building itself is well-maintained. Parking can be arranged, which is honestly a relief in this part of London where street parking can be a nightmare. The whole operation feels professionally run, even though it’s not a big chain hotel.

Why Guests Love It

What really makes this place work is that 9.2 rating — and after staying here, I totally get it. It’s not trying to compete with boutique hotels in Shoreditch or luxury places in Mayfair. Instead, it’s solving a specific problem really well: giving you a proper base in London that doesn’t cost a fortune but still feels like home. The university connections they mention aren’t just marketing either — I noticed quite a few academic types staying here, and the longer-term setup really suits that crowd. If you need somewhere reliable, well-equipped, and genuinely affordable in London, this place actually delivers.
