Great location for my trip, I wanted to be near the Kings Cross and Saint Pancras stations. Small room but well thought out with room to slide luggage under the bed and a small closet area. Very clean and seems recently updated with paint and carpet etc. Friendly and helpful staff made it a great stay.

Small but conveniently located for Kings Cross Station. I just needed a bed for the night and it met my needs. Ground floor room, but some creaky floorboards in the room above, as well as corridor chatter disturbed the otherwise very quiet room, which was unfortunate. Still, it served its intended purpose.

Super small room

Booked a single room and boy is it small. Either you or your suitcase can fit on the floor next to the bed, but not both. Bathroom is microscopic with a wet room floor so keep the toilet paper away from the shower if you can

The hotel booked me into the hotel next door owing to an unexplained issue. The European hotel next door was not of the same standard although I was still charged the same rate. This was incredibly poor customer service.
