We have just returned from our first stay at the Highbury Centre. It was excellent. Spotlessly clean, well maintained, safe, and welcoming. It wears its Christianity lightly but an awareness of an underpinning integrity is evident throughout. We appreciated this. Breakfast is generous and carefully presented and prepared - thank you to the catering team. I look forward to our next visit.

An extremely well located hotel particularly if you are visiting the Highbury/Islington /Stoke Newington area. The rooms are simple but are clean, comfortable and more than adequate. It is situated in a residential area so is quiet at night and only 10 minutes walk through Highbury Fields to Highbury and Islington Tube and 3 minutes walk to a variety of buses. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the breakfast which is included is very generous. There is also an additional eating area with microwave and fridge to bring food in for an evening meal as well as laundry facilities and at least two lounge areas. The value for money is excellent, particularly if you are a solo traveller.

As always, a nice place in a nice neighbourhood. It´s quiet and like sleeping in the country, but only a short walk from a bus stop and 15 min. to Saint Pauls. A good english breakfast is included and the staff is friendly and accomodating.

Lovely stay 19th & 20th Sept. Was in London for a medical appointment. Great location, lots of green space around, friendly people in The Highbury Centre and local amenities nearby. Met a former aid worker colleague I had not seen in a few years there. Was lovely to catch-up.

My stay at the Highbury Centre was simply perfect. The room was exceptionally clean and inviting. Having a tea kettle in the room with a daily replenishment of coffee, tea and goodies was a bonus. Breakfast was robust, and just what was needed before a day of exploring London. The location, just a short walk to both the bus and train stations was invaluable.

My daughter and I stayed for a week and were so glad we did. After a day of excursions to come back back to The Highbury Center felt a bit like coming home. The quiet neighbourhood, the space available in the guesthouse, clean facilities, friendly staff all made it a great place to stay. . Breakfast was very good and plentiful. The only downside would be for someone who has difficulty with stairs since there is no elevator in the building.
