4 adults in a room ready for an early Eurostar, was fine for that, wouldn't want to spend more than 1 night though as the bathroom is very small and there is very little space for bags.

The staff and general property condition was acceptable, very close to Kings Cross station and St Pancras International Station. The cost however for what the property is I felt was overpriced. We paid £340 for two nights, this did not include breakfast and the room was cold with no additional heating. Having searched we could have got a better room which included breakfast less that 200 metres away. Was also issue with deposit that was paid, despite having clear evidence that I had already paid £170 I was told that this has not been received from Expedia and I had to pay the £340 in total, trying to get the £170 back is proving challenging with the hotel saying that they have not received it and Expedia saying they’ve paid it to the hotel.

Liked: Staff & service
While it was good value, the hotel could have easily made itself much better with just a bit of work on the bathrooms and decor. Also being on the 3rd floor with a large suitcase on those small stairs is an accident waiting to happen. It was also very noisy. I understand being in the heart of London and great location, but even for the price I paid I would expect slightly more. Not recommended unless you are young and just using the hotel for a bed

About 1 min walking from King’s Cross station. Room and communal areas very clean. Good heating. Negatives: Narrow, wobbly stairs. Flat pillow. Toilets do not have a sink but there is a sink in your room. Thin walls so you can hear everyone around you in their rooms.

Great place to stay in London: safe, clean, quiet, convenient, and affordable. Just across the street from the train station and there are consequently a lot of options for food in the area (some are open late as well if you struggle with jetlag like I did the first couple nights). Any day-to-day essentials you might need will be no more than a 10 minute walk away. I will definitely stay here again I am ever on another solo trip in London. What a wonderful experience!

Property was reasonably clean and located close to King's Cross station. Not a nice area to stay, one of the shabbiest in London. Very noisy all day and most of the night. My room was small and had very few comforts. Up 4 flights of steep stairs so no use unless you are pretty fit. The whole area is one big building site

Basic at best
Bed sheets clean and beds relatively comfortable. Location very good and not too noisy. Room and whole hotel very basic and hasnt been decorated since 60s, maybe?! Room tiny and very hot and stuffy. Ensuite aweful! Lots of mould and mildew, not clean at all. Shower head diagusting, yellow mould all over! Cheapest in area we could find for 3, but still massively overpriced and wish I spent £75 more for premier Inn!

A great little hotel only a few minutes walk from King’s Cross / St Pancras stations so it’s a great location for exploring London. Friendly and helpful staff, quiet location and a comfortable bed made my stay very enjoyable.

Solid value
If you are looking for comfortable value, this is perfect. Very clean but small rooms — ideal for a solo traveler just looking for the basics. Very friendly front desk and easy walk from the Kings Cross tube.
