We stayed 5 nights at the Queens for the »London Feis 2011«. As of Summer 2001 a total refurbishment is taking place, so many things were a bit messy.
Our room was quite big (and hot - for some unknown reason...?), with no decorations at all and with lightbulbs with an extreme cold color-temperature (like in factory halls).
Breakfast is served downstairs. Waitresses were not very aware of missing cutlery, cups and the compulsary 'more coffee?'
The way of payment of first night-deposit from abroad is too old fashioned, and we couldn't believe it, when the receptionist the second morning asked for payment for the previous night. But to cut it short, we paid for the rest of our stay - in cash, due to their unacceptable credit card fee. (Fair play to Queens: The price had been lowered £10 compared to what we expected - might be due to the mess in the house?).
Never the less, the Queens is a better choice than other hotels in the area, which we have tried before.
And, I believe, that some of the issues mentioned here, will be improved in the near future.
We might be back, if the »London Feis« continues :-)

Stayed at the Queens Hotel for a business trip. Myself and my wife had an excellent stay. A very warm place to stay and the staff were fantastic. Would highly recommend. Thank you

Having recently spent several nights at the Queens Hotel, I can recommend it as value for money. Exceptionally clean throughout, it also smells very hygienic, with the communal areas very well carpeted, painted and lit. Reception staff clean and polish in communal areas at quiet times.The overall impression is of a calm and dignified place, with helpful ,polite and unobtrusive staff, who represent a vast array of countries.The three reception staff I encountered were Georgian, Hungarian and Maltese,with the kitchen/breakfast staff eastern european. The cooked breakfast was good,and cooked and presented to the same standard every day. On the first day I asked for extra toast, thereafter it was given to me from the start, by the friendly servers. The room was clean and well lit, the water in the sink and in the showers down the corridor always piping hot, and the bedding changed every day, with fresh towels and little soap, as was the drinks making facilities.The furniture was basic and the light lacked a shade, but this was known about anyway, no plug on the sink, but one wasn't necessary for my purposes as I waash and shave, etc., with running water.The room was warm , but a convector heater was supplied in the wardrobe for addtional heat, which was never necessary, and the other guests were quiet and there were never any noise issues. It would be hard to imagine a better locationfor a guest house in this price bracket, opposite the green lung of Finsbury Park, less than a minute from bus stops, shops ,petrol stations and cashpoints, and two minutes from mainline and underground trains, post office, supermarkets, restaurants, etc. Great care is taken by the management to supplement the green theme, with a welcoming array of planters, tubs and hanging baskets, and with pot plants in evidence inside too. Looking forward to staying there again !
