Die Unterkunft macht einen abgewohnten Zustand. Türen wackeln und Quietschen. Wasserhähne frühes Mittelalter. Treppen scharfkantig. Frühstück lässt zu wünschen übrig. Schwimmingpool nicht benutzbar.

Good central option
Beautiful view, staff helpful, location great pool was unusable. Some of the grouting and finish could be better. We managed to check in early which was a bonus!

Ett okej boende som skulle behöva fräshas upp . Bra varm frukost. Badrummet var annorlunda.

Questions about Finchley Guest House

What time is check-in and check-out at Finchley Guest House?

Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Finchley Guest House allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Finchley Guest House?

Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.

Is breakfast included at Finchley Guest House?

Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.

Does Finchley Guest House have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Finchley Guest House have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Finchley Guest House?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
