The Barrington Hotel

Decent place above a pub has basic ammenities, is alright if you already know london.

Not great. Rooms were clean and sufficient for what I needed (Bed, shower, toilet etc). But I was unable to be kept dark at night due to ineffient blinds and a green LED in the center of the ceiling that was constantly on. Was fairly noisy outside but wasn't too surprised by this. And the large firm pillows were unusable/unsuitable for me.

Not great Whilst the room was clean and nice our overall stay was very disappointing. We had very little interaction with check in staff, was handed the key and the lady walked away without any further communication. Had to access 3 different doors to get to the room and all locks were difficult to navigate. Our room was very public at the front entrance so very noisy when other guests were coming/going. The blind did not work so we flelt very exposed as people could see into our room when the lights were on. When checking out in the morning there were no staff available and the pub attached was not yet open so there was nowhere to safely leave the keys. We had to post them through the pub door letterbox as had no other option and no alternative was explained to us upon check in.

It's in a good location, there is a small amount of free parking and for London it's fairly cheap. Not very clean, very very dusty on top of wardrobe, no hot water on first night, in shower. Bit intimidating having a bouncer looking me over and not initially wanting to let me in with my suitcase despite saying I was checking in

Good value for money and so close to amenities. 10 minute walk to Barnet tube station. I will be booking again
