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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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!

Greg

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
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

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.
