Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It was exactly as expected for a budget hotel: reception friendly, room clean and quiet, and the ability to leave luggage on check-out day. One small negative was an email before I left home stating that the room was service-free and that any extra service required would be charged. Whilst I understood the conditions, it wasn't very welcoming, and a short 'thank you for staying with us' or 'we look forward to your visit' would have taken the unwelcome edge off it.

I have stayed here probably at least 5 times over the last few years and now don't look for anywhere else if they have a room. Small family owned hotel that is always clean with staff who are lovely. Surprisingly quiet at night given that it only about a 3-5 minute walk from Kings Cross/St.Pancras

Great location

Great location for us getting off a late train into KGX. Reception open 24 hours and they looked after our bags during the day. The room was ok. Nothing wrong with it or to complain about. I will stay again.

Great location near King’s Cross and Euston

Great hotel in a great location across from King’s Cross and walking distance to Euston station. We stayed in room 16 which was clean and comfortable, only downside was that it was missing a bedside table on one side of the bed.

Single room was tiny but comfortable and had everything needed for a 1 night stay in London for gig that evening. Super close to Kings Cross & St Pancras stations but on a quiet side street. Only thing I did miss was option for a cooked breakfast which they did used to offer pre covid.

Pretty spacious and reasonably priced for London. 2 min walk to international and underground trains, plenty of options for food close by as well. Not very suitcase friendly, narrow stairs and lots of tight corners. Hallways smelled horribly of cigarette smoke but the rooms didn’t.

Comfortable, convenient, and an excellent value.

This was a one-night stopover. For the price, I couldn’t have asked for a cozier or friendlier place to sleep off my jetlag. I arrived around 1pm but was able to check in right away and received help getting my bag up the stairs. Yes, the single room was small, but it was spotless and had everything I needed - wifi, tv, kettle, ensuite with shower, blackout blinds, convenient outlets to charge devices. I also appreciated that they sold instant noodles and porridge and other snacks in the lobby. The staff were kind and welcoming. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Overnight stay. Very short distance from St Pancras International. Room was perfect for me and the duration of my stay. Staff were very friendly. The only downside was my room was in the basement, with very narrow stairs and I was carrying a big suitcase. But that will not stop me from staying there another time or recommending it
