Great location for Finsbury Park, staff were all really helpful and nice. Room was nicely decorated and bed was really comfortable. The added bonus was the pub and beer garden which was a beautiful setting and really busy and vibrant. The breakfast was also really good. The only thing we missed out on was the food which looked incredible and great value. We will be definitely be staying again whether for a concert or popping in for a meal and pint in the beer garden.

The Brownswood is lovely and I keep returning year after year. It feels like staying with family. Pub is a great time. Quick access on bus network or plenty of bikes around make commuting to central easy.

The Brownswood is a great place to stay in London, only 8-10 minute walk to the metro and with spacious lovely rooms very rare for London hotels. The rooms are well maintained and clean and the bathrooms is also spacious and modern. This hotel is located in the green quiet neighborhood and the garden on the property is really lovely - great beers and food! Very enjoyable in the evenings and obviously popular with the locals. Dita is a lovely host - made us feel very welcome and the breakfast was exceptional!

Fantastic little spot. Surprisingly quiet considering it's over a pub. Never heard any of the noise from the pub and stayed over on a Friday night as well. My room was tucked up and away on the opposite side of the building from the main pub dining area. Breakfast was absolutely lovely as was the breakfast room. (Didn't hurt that it was sunny every day that I was there.)
