Overview

First Impressions

The Anson Hotel – Conveniently Located Sweet Space Near Transportation Stations is one of those places that catches you off guard — in the best way possible. Walking up to this unique boutique hotel without official star rating on Anson Road, you’re not quite sure what to expect, but there’s something immediately welcoming about the whole setup. It’s tucked into London’s Islington neighborhood, and honestly, the location just works really well for getting around the city.

The Neighborhood Feel

What I really appreciated about staying here was how it sits right in the heart of Islington — you know, that area that feels properly London without being touristy. You’ve got the Northern line practically on your doorstep, which means you can hop over to King’s Cross or down to central London without any fuss. The street itself is pretty quiet, actually, despite being so well-connected to transport links.

Inside Experience

The room I stayed in had this quirky charm that you don’t get in chain hotels. It’s not trying to be something it’s not — just clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully put together. The staff genuinely seem to care about making your stay work, which you notice in little things like remembering your name or giving you proper directions (not just pointing vaguely down the street).

Getting Around

Here’s what actually matters — you’re a five-minute walk to Caledonian Road & Barnsbury station, and honestly, that connection alone makes this place worth considering. I mean, when you’re trying to see London properly, being able to jump on the tube without a complicated journey first just saves so much time and energy. Plus, there are decent bus routes right there if you prefer staying above ground.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t a fancy hotel with a spa or elaborate breakfast spread, but that’s sort of the point. It’s a solid, reliable base that doesn’t pretend to be anything other than what it is — a well-run place to sleep in a genuinely useful part of London. The pricing reflects that too, which is refreshing when so many places try to charge premium rates for basic services. You’ll find yourself recommending it to friends who want somewhere dependable without the tourist markup.

"Very good"
The location is in a lovely quiet area. Great position to the Emirates stadium with a 20 minute walk. The hotel has thought of everything. The rooms are lovely and clean, comfortable and warm and the kitchen is a bonus. The beds are very comfortable with lovely linen. A very enjoyable stay.

"Comfortable stay in a lovely area, close to a tube station."
Situated in a lovely, quiet residential area of north London. No issues with accessing property and room with the key codes. Having a communal kitchen with fridge, oven, microwave, plates etc was of great use. Clean. Good, powerful shower.
What could be improved: Maybe a bit more decor in the bedroom as a little bare. But not too big a deal.

"Bright and comfortable room in great location"
Clean and comfortable room. Bed size nice for one person. Shower room compact but clean and sufficient. Love that there is a washing machine in the kitchen and iron board and iron. Location absolutely stunning.
What could be improved: A table light in the bedroom would definitely be beneficial. One can only use either the ceiling light or the bathroom light if in bed and want to read. Surprised to find only one paper cup in any of the communal kitchens and absolut no ceramic cups or mugs, nor proper cutlery (two pairs of wooden knives and forks only). One hook on the inner side of the bathroom door would be great so that one can leave a towel there while showering as the room is tiny and there is no real place to leave it anywhere else.

"Great stay for a reasonable price."
Location from the tube was perfect, not too far from O2 Kentish Town. The surrounding area was clean and the hotel was spotlessly clean, too. Would definitely stay there again if visiting Camden or Kentish Town.
What could be improved: Blinds not blackout and unfortunately our room was next to front door so some minor noise but very minimal. Eye mask needed. Sadly no coffee making facilities either but decent coffee shops within a couple of minute walk.
