Top hotels in Islington
Yotel London City
The location was excellent. We were going to Fabric club which less than 5 mins walk away. The bed was comfortable

DoubleTree by Hilton London Angel Kings Cross
The hotel was average. Room was small and not as clean as you would expect from a 4-star chain hotel. The room was at the front of the hotel and you can hear the traffic quite badly, They also charged £9.50 for a pint of lager at the bar!

Hub By Premier Inn London King's Cross
I was skeptical but I actually loved it! Super convenient to trains/ tube. Friendly and helpful staff. Stayed in a no window room but didn’t feel closer it. It’s definitely compact but well laid out. I was solo so maybe too tight for 2 adults but it had everything you needed! Will definitely stay ...
