We had a toilet that didn't function, broken shower head, unsafe windows without child protection and a manager that didn't believe any of these concerns were legitimate. They gave us a bucket to fill water and flush the toilet. I must say one of the staff members (Ronnie) got the manager on the phone and tried his best to help, but he had limited resources and decision making authority. This was probably the worst Expedia stay I have ever booked.

No AC, very loud area as it was expected since it’s close to the train/subway station. The area did not feel safe either. We arrived at 8pm at the station across the street and had to take an early flight so we decided to stay there. I would not recommend staying there if you’re planning on staying longer than a night. It’s a very uncomfortable hotel. The staff was very friendly though.

Location, location, location

Location of Hotel cannot be beat, straight across from St Pancras Station. Staff were friendly, check in easy and they have a secure luggage holding room. Room was clean and had everything needed , but ive knocked a few stars off as it is very loud, it is a busy area and would benefit from double glazing and we had a basement room which, since it is at the bottom of the house the bathroom smelt very badly of drains. But for the locations and price, not too bad of a stay.

We really appreciated the very Brie fly and helpful staff. Room very clean although small. But fine for a budget stay in London when you only sleep and shower in your room. Convenient location right next to St Pancras & Kings Cross

Intimate smaller hotel type setting, a taste of the simplicity of hotels way back when. Warm welcome, professional and helpful. Be redy to climb stairs. Cute room with a water basin perfect for washing hands or brushing teeth. I enjoyed sleeping with the window open. Next return i've requested a quiet room away from bathroom traffic. Hotel is convenient and well located to everything. Safe.
