King Solomon Hotel- Golders Green

Very good budget hotel in a quiet neighborhood, better quality than most hotels in this price range. The room was well heated, plenty of hot water and clean with fresh towels every day. The bed was comfortable. We come to London often and this was the first time we stayed in this hotel, but we will be coming back. Easy access to transportation (busses in front of the hotel) but around one hour to Trafalgar Square by bus (139) from Golders Green Station, probably less with the tube. The trip into town is pleasant. Easy contact with the management. Nice restaurants and shops one bus stop away. In all, we were very happy with our stay.

Our 4th time at this hotel. I always look here first when I'm needing a hotel for an annual music festival at Easter that is centred in Camden Town. The location is perfect for the night bus back if the underground is not running as it stops right outside, but it's also only a short walk or bus ride from the train station, when the trains are on. Free parking is a bonus meaning we don't have to travel to London on the train. The beds have always been comfortable and the shower hot and strong. The fridge is an added bonus too.

When I needed to extend my stay I checked on booking.com but I wasn't able to. As it was short notice and there was only one room left on the app, I booked it with the risk that I might need to check out and then check back in again later the same day. When I arrived at the hotel they were able to give me the same room straight through my whole stay so I didn't need to factor it into my days plans.

I booked a double bed room, though being on my own, since it cost only 2 Pounds more than a single room. I also asked for a room in one of the upper floors at the reception and I was given one in the 2nd floor. The room was perfectly okay - clean, comfortable, not too small, good view - actually much better than in most budget hotels I have stayed before in London. The bathroom was smallish but everything worked well. I like Golders Green since it's easy to get to the city centre by Underground and easy to get to Stansted and Luton airports by National Express Bus. I didn't take breakfast since I had to leave very early. Slept well, everything was fine.

Friendly staff. Comfortable beds. Tasty breakfast (pancakes, eggs, hash browns, beans, yogurt, salad, cheese, bread). Shops and caffes nearby. Bus station at the door of the hotel. Train station 10min to walk.
