Hotel Unique

Hotel Unique Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Hotel Unique on Finchley Road, you know what strikes me first? It’s not trying to be something it’s not. This three-star property sits comfortably in Golders Green, and honestly — there’s something refreshing about a place that focuses on getting the basics absolutely right rather than overwhelming you with unnecessary frills.

The Golders Green Advantage

Here’s the thing about this location that most people don’t realize until they stay here — you’re actually in one of London’s best-kept secrets for exploring the city. Golders Green tube station is practically on your doorstep, which means you can be in central London in about 20 minutes. But what I really love is the neighborhood itself. You’ve got proper local bakeries, that brilliant kosher food scene (even if you’re not kosher, trust me on this), and Hampstead Heath is just a short walk away. Couples seem to get this — they consistently rate the location 8.9 out of 10, and I mean, they’re not wrong.

What Your Room Actually Offers

The room I stayed in was clean, well-maintained, and — here’s what matters — properly thought out. You know how some hotels seem to forget that people actually need to live in these spaces? Not here. There’s decent storage, the bed was genuinely comfortable (not just hotel-speak comfortable), and the bathroom had proper water pressure. It’s not fancy, but everything works exactly as it should, which is honestly more than you can say for some pricier places I’ve stayed.

The Repeat Guest Factor

Something interesting I noticed during my stay — and the staff mentioned this too — they have way more repeat guests than most hotels. At first I thought, well, maybe it’s just convenient for business travelers. But after spending a few days there, I get it. It’s that rare combination of reliability, decent value, and staff who actually remember you exist. The front desk team seemed to know half the guests by name, which creates this unexpectedly welcoming atmosphere. You’re not just another booking number, if you know what I mean.

Why Guests Love It

Look, Hotel Unique isn’t going to wow you with a fancy spa or a celebrity chef restaurant. What it will do is give you a solid base for exploring London without the central London price tag. The fact that so many people come back tells you everything you need to know — sometimes the best travel experiences come from places that simply do their job well. Plus, with Hampstead Village just up the road and easy tube access to everywhere else, you’re actually better positioned than you’d be in many “prime” central locations. It’s one of those finds that makes you feel slightly smug about knowing London better than the average tourist.
