Hotel The Luxury Inn (London, United Kingdom)

The Luxury Inn is a contemporary architect-designed hotel incorporating a number of tech-friendly features such as iPod docs, smartphone media connectivity, Netflix access, digital flat screen TV’s and free computer access with internet.

With its central location bordering Hoxton and Old street, the hotel is the ideal base for exploring fashionable London. Dalston Junction station is ten minutes away by foot as is the Kingsland Road, a trendy strip filled with some of the city’s hottest r

Unlike many other hotels that are run on strict schedules, the Luxury Inn has created a clever self-service and communal approach. Guests can come and go as they please, prepare meals according to their own schedule and needs and feel completely relaxed.

With a central location so close to the nightlife of fashionable London, some noise at night is to be expected. The bar next door does little to alleviate this reality which may be an issue for light sleepers.

The front door is not always answered right away, creating an impression that guests are unimportant. To make matters worse the front door to the hotel is unmarked. Waiting at the friendly adjacent pub does help to alleviate some of the frustration.

Room décor is dated and not up to the same standards of the communal areas where it seems most attention was focused. Walls and doors are very thin and one can hear conversations in the communal area and outside patio.
