One bedroom in Camden

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw “one bedroom in Camden” on Grays Inn Road, I wasn’t expecting much. The address sounds pretty corporate, right? But actually, this little spot surprised me in the best way possible. It’s tucked into this Georgian terrace that you’d walk right past if you weren’t looking for it, and there’s something refreshingly low-key about the whole setup. You know what I mean – no flashy lobby or doormen in ridiculous uniforms, just a solid place to crash that actually feels like someone’s home.

The location is honestly brilliant, though it took me a day to figure out why. You’re literally a five-minute walk from King’s Cross St. Pancras (I timed it), which means you can be on the Eurostar or catching trains anywhere without the usual London transport drama. But here’s the thing locals know – you’re also right between two completely different worlds. Walk south toward Russell Square and you’re in proper intellectual London with all those gorgeous garden squares and the British Museum crowd. Head north into Camden proper and suddenly you’re dodging tourists buying terrible t-shirts and queuing for street food that’s actually pretty decent. The best part? Grays Inn Road itself is surprisingly quiet at night, especially compared to the madness around Camden Market. I mean, you’ll hear the occasional ambulance heading to one of the hospitals, but it’s not like staying right on the high street where drunk people are singing at 2 AM.

The apartment itself – well, it’s clearly been done up by someone who actually travels and knows what matters. The bed is properly comfortable (none of that rock-hard nonsense you sometimes get), and whoever chose the shower deserves a medal because the water pressure is fantastic. Small details like that matter when you’ve been walking around London all day, you know? The kitchen’s compact but functional – I managed to make decent coffee every morning, which is honestly all I needed. Storage space is better than you’d expect for a London one-bedroom, though I wouldn’t pack like you’re moving house. The whole place has this lived-in feeling that’s way more appealing than those sterile hotel rooms where everything’s bolted down. Plus, and this might sound weird, but it just smells nice – like someone actually lives here rather than that weird chemical cleaning smell you get in some places. If you’re the type who likes exploring different neighborhoods and wants somewhere comfortable to retreat to without paying ridiculous money, this works really well. Just don’t expect room service or a concierge – though honestly, with everything walkable and the tube connections right there, you probably won’t miss them.
