Best Western London Highbury

Best Western London Highbury Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Best Western London Highbury on Seven Sisters Road, you might wonder if you’ve stumbled onto something special — and honestly, you kind of have. This three-star hotel sits in one of those North London neighborhoods that locals love but tourists often miss, which actually works in your favor. The building itself has that classic London charm without trying too hard, and there’s something refreshing about staying somewhere that feels more like a well-kept secret than a tourist magnet.

The Hackney Advantage

Here’s what I love about this location — you’re in Hackney, which means you’re getting the real London experience without the West End prices. Seven Sisters Road might not sound glamorous, but it connects you to everything you actually want to see. The tube stations are walkable (though not right outside your door, I’ll be honest), and you’ve got some fantastic local pubs and cafes that you’d never find in the guidebooks. Couples seem to get this — they consistently rate the location highly, and I can see why. There’s something romantic about discovering a neighborhood together rather than just ticking off the usual tourist boxes.

Your Room and Comfort

The room I stayed in was exactly what you’d expect from a solid three-star — clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged without any unnecessary frills. The beds are proper comfortable (which matters more than fancy amenities when you’re walking around London all day), and the bathrooms are modern enough that you won’t feel like you’re roughing it. What impressed me was the attention to detail — good lighting for reading, enough outlets for your devices, and windows that actually open if you prefer fresh air to air conditioning.

Breakfast Worth Waking Up For

You know what surprised me? The breakfast is actually really good. They do both continental and full English options, and the buffet setup means you can mix and match however you want. I mean, where else can you have proper English bacon alongside fresh pastries and decent coffee? The dining area gets busy around 8 AM (fair warning), but the staff keeps everything well-stocked, and honestly, watching the mix of business travelers and tourists start their day is part of the charm. Plus, having a proper meal before heading out means you can skip those overpriced hotel breakfasts elsewhere in the city.

Why Guests Love It

The parking situation alone makes this place worth considering — try finding affordable private parking anywhere else in London, I dare you. But beyond the practical stuff, there’s something genuinely welcoming about this hotel that bigger chains often miss. The staff actually seem to know the area and can point you toward things you wouldn’t find on your own. Recent guests consistently praise the location, and after staying here, I get it — you’re close enough to central London to feel connected but far enough out to experience the city like someone who actually lives here. It’s that balance between convenience and authenticity that makes a trip memorable rather than just another hotel stay.
