We only stayed because we had an early train ride from St Pancras. Was good enough for that. Shares bathroom is tiny. I can’t recommend this place but I can’t really give it a bad review. For you backpackers it’s ok. It’s a hostel, not hotel and I wish I knew that.

Stayed 3 nights. Going by the size of the room it was about right. Had an en-suite . The room was really clean, towels everyday, and the cleaning staff were excellent. Great location, by Kings Cross, would use the hotel again for a short stay.
