Ask for a ground floor as no lift

The room was small and on the top floor with no assistance with our lugguage which was disappointing. The hotel is in a convenient location - close to St Pancras. Staff not overly welcoming either, but it was a place to rest our head and it was clean and had everything you needed for a short stay.

The hotel is close to the King’s Cross and St Pancras International station so that’s was very convenient for us since we went to Paris after London and we left from the St Pancras Station.

Nice hotel with friendly staff

Nice little room only hotel with very friendly staff on duty 24 hrs. Close to King Cross and St Pancras stations and not far from Coal Drops Yard with lots of places to eat or drink. There is no lift in this accommodation and if you’re in a 4th floor room it’s a bit of a climb, particularly with luggage. Rooms were clean and tidy with a lovely little wet room. Nice and quiet and would definitely use this hotel again.

Great solo stay

The stay was great as always and staying in the basement room was much more spacious than other rooms I’ve stayed in. The only one issue is the silly positioning of the shower. The head and stand need mounting on a different wall other wise the water goes out towards the main door.
