Room was lovely and clean and comfortable. Air conditioning was well and truly welcomed during our stay due to the heatwave.

Right away staff were extremely helpful and accommodating and even escorted us to our room. We had the courtyard room and it was more spacious that we expected although maybe not best for 3 people. Location was perfect with lots of shops and an easy trip to Tottenham stadium for us. Would definitely recommend and will hopefully return in the future

It’s a beautiful building that has been restored back to life, in a lovely location. Perfect for our visit to Alexandra Palace. The rooms were comfortable, well equipped and spacious. There are cooking facilities in the room in addition to the usual amenities such as tea and coffee making area, a hairdryer and bathrobes etc. The bathroom if large and modern with a small array of complimentary toiletries. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely revisit if in the area again.

Excellent - clean rooms with staff who were attentive and went above and beyond to meet our needs as visitors at the hotel e.g they remembered we were visiting for a gig and asked how it was on our return. The personal touch made a difference. We would recommend and visit again. Small thing- Signage to the hotel would possibly make it easier to locate as even Uber drivers weren’t sure of this.

We had a fantastic stay at Dao by Dorsett North London and would highly recommend it. A little difficult to locate at first because it is actually inside the Hornsey town Hall! However, the service was excellent from start to finish – all of the staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed, including a hob, dishwasher, fridge, and other kitchen essentials, making it feel like a home away from home. The bed was very comfortable with fresh, clean bedding, and the bathroom was decent sized, immaculate, and stocked with lovely Elemis toiletries. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. A wonderful place to stay in North London! Thank you.

Not the best experience. Cool, art deco building and room, but… No signage for the hotel at all. It’s within the town hall. Bad directions for parking. I had 2 horrible bites, which may be nothing to do with the hotel, of course. It seems like the hotel is an afterthought, when the town hall is not fully in use. Felt like a room in an office block.

Went to Cubes for breakfast which was delicious. Bus stops outside hotel, which we used for Finsbury park station (9mins) and Alexander palace bus just around the corner. Will def stay here again when going to Alexander palace for concerts.

Quiet location. Fast check-in but £50 security deposit taken. Comfortable beds. Spongey pillows. Had a twin room which looked like a double but beds pushed apart. One was pushed too far and had a light handgun down over it which was easy to knock. Dirty coffee cup left in cupboard. Someone else's water left in the fridge. No instructions on how to use coffee machine. Not asked how our stay was on check-out. Good pubs and restaurants nearby with Tesco and Sainsbury across the road.

The new notel in the Town Hall is actually quite nice. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and modern. The staff, personally, were very friendly. However, I have two major complaints. We stayed for 6 days. They never once voluntarily came to clean the room. I asked on day three that someone come to clean up and empty the garbage, change towels, etc. They said they were busy that day and the best they could do was provide fresh towels. They did. But left the garbage and so on. Second, when arriving, I asked by email for an early chech in ... like at 13:00 for a 15:00 normal check in. The response email said they would charge GBP10/hr for early check in! I have never heard of this before. Yes, if you arrive really early and sleep, I have been charged a half day or something. But a couple hours? Bizarre. In the end, they didn't charge but this should not be a policy. I think management needs to review its customer service guidelines as this is not a staff but a management problem.
