Hotel Details

Location

A 5-minute walk from Angel Tube Station in Islington, just off Upper Street.
The property sits on Chapel Market, a lively pedestrianised market street with stalls, supermarkets, and shops. Angel Tube Station (Northern line) is 5 minutes on foot, providing direct access to King's Cross, St Pancras International, and central London. Many restaurants, cafés, and bars are within a 3-minute walk, including Indian, vegetarian, BBQ, fish and chip, and Mexican options. Camden Passage (known for antiques) and Angel Central shopping centre are also nearby. Upper Street is a short stroll away, offering further dining and nightlife. The area feels safe and well-connected.

Accommodation

All studios feature a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and hairdryer, and a fully equipped open-plan kitchen with integrated combo oven, hob, dishwasher, and fridge. Each room includes a flat-screen TV with cable channels and Sky sports/movies, free high-speed WiFi, soundproof walls, heating, a washing machine/dryer, ironing facilities, and tea/coffee making facilities with a De'Longhi coffee machine. Some rooms have a quiet street view or overlook Chapel Market, while still being quiet due to soundproofing. Upper-floor rooms are noted to be particularly peaceful. A cot can be provided on request.
