This hotel is great if you need a place to overnight when you have a train to catch next morning. It's almost directly opposite King's X, St Pancras station. I wouldn't recommend it for a long-term stay as the room I stayed in was small, as was the bathroom.

Online booking with Expedia and hotel check-in easy. We had a quadruple room with full size double and two singles which were crammed into a small room. This meant that there was very little room around the beds which was OK for us as there were only two of us however would be crammed if at full occupancy. Saying that I think it would be OK for a couple of nights. Beds were comfortable with clean bedding and extra pillows provided in the room if required. There is a kettle with coffee and tea provided in the room. No wardrobe is provided but there was a clothes rail.The bathroom was tiny, very dated and in desperate need for an upgrade, it was however clean with plenty of towels provided. Generally the the room was cleaned however the walls, doors and skirting boards were grubby and in need of a good cleaning or a new lick of paint. Now for the major plus point for the hotel it's location, it is literally an few minutes walk from King's Cross which was ideal for us and anyone else wanting quick access to trains and the underground. In conclusion the hotel was ideal for our 2 night stay due to its low cost and brilliant location and yes I would stay here again for a couple of nights lads weekend stay in London but don't expect any frills.

Great place to stay in London, especially for a quick trip and you’re travelling light. Close to Kings Cross and St Pancras, and quick access to many places to eat. Staff were helpful and checkin/checkout was easy. Room and building were clean. Only drawback is the school close by which generates a decent amount of noise but it’s usually for a short while. Glad to have stayed here and will definitely return next time we’re passing through London!
