St Nicholas Hotel Kenton

Great staff member, who is not always there. Clean room. No telephone facility in room in case needed to ask him anything. Very steep stairs. Washroom lights not working. No kettle or tea bag in room. Creaky bed. Never mind, but not for me. Sorry!

Brilliant hotel. Big clean rooms and friendly staff. The location was excellent. Really close to the underground. There were lots of shops nearby. They had free parking round the back which was ideal. They even provided fresh, clean towels.

Booked a single room but when I got there I was told there isn't one available. I was offered a double room but with additional charge.

When I say cost-effective I don't mean cheap: the room size was well above anything that could be called cheap, but the bill was half of what I have paid in the past for a much smaller room; it was really good, with 2 growing children, not to feel crammed in. The hotel itself is a row of terraced houses, with shops at street level and private car park behind. In addition to retaining many original features - the fireplace filled in in favour of central heating, but not removed - the conversion to hotel has given the building something of a Heath Robinson quality: there are no corridors above ground level, with rooms coming off landings. etween the landings there are mezzanine levels with bathrooms and kitchens, and adjacent landings connect, via short flights of stairs and a fire door, to the landing in the adjacent 'house', which is were the Heath Robinson quality comes from: terrible for disabled access, but great fun in getting from your room to the car! The kitchens were a welcome surprise as they allowed further cost savings on evening meals, from the supermarket over the road, rather than takeaway as we had originally intended. In short, what we had intended as merely a cheep place to stay while we visited London became a part of the attraction in it's own right.

Share public tiolet is the weakness. Close to Tube is very good with free car park place. No more can ask in such price. Good.

But louder at night than expected and the ad didn't explain use of public toilette and bath well enough so surprised on arrival.

We may as well stayed in the streets it was that cold in our room we complained everyday but nothing was done about it

The rooms are spotlessly clean with no frills, perfect for a short stay at a very reasonable price. We were upgraded to double rooms on arrival and the beds were comfy, blackout curtains were great and TV/fridge in the room was a nice touch! Owners were very polite and helpful. Would definitely recommend for anyone needing cheap but very cheerful accommodation close to Wembley Park.

Hotel is opposite of tube station and car park place is very good and spacious. Share tiolet and kitchen is the weak point. But overall, the staff is very helpful
