Avoca House Hotel

The cost was cheap. and location very good but the shower had little or no pressure. The toilet cramped and beds old but adequate. Breakfast is cereal & toast with no choice. The people friendly. No frills at all but clean. If you are looking for a cheap bed near Belsize Park this is OK.

You get what you pay for...which is basically a bed and a toilet. It wasn't dirty, but everything was shabby and could have been improved greatly by spending a few hundred pounds. There's no internet, but if you ask management they'll give you someone's router password in exchange for "some money" to be given to the owner of the router, but we never paid. We were also told our room would be ready by 11am, but when we arrived at 1:30 we still had to wait an hour before it was ready, and we did not receive towels until 9:00 that night. It was also pretty far away from the main London attractions, which can be exhausting. If I did it again, even on a budget, I would spend the extra pounds to be closer in to town. That said, they undercharged my credit card by two nights, so I guess I can't complain too much.
