Overall the stay was fine. However, upon check in I didn't feel very welcomed. Maybe the check in staff had had a rough day? They filled my request of a ground floor room so I didn't have to lug my suitcase up stairs. The room itself was fine however very small. It was hard to open my suitcase. Positive note- the bed was probably the most comfortable bed I had on my travels. One small thing to note for travellers - the step into the hotel itself is reasonably high from the footpath. Especially with a heavy large suitcase.

Smelly and uncomfortable

The smells in the rooms are horrible and there is no air conditioning. Very uncomfortable room with a disgusting bathroom. It is a maze of multiple stair cases to get to your room and you can hear everything from the other rooms.

We got upgraded to a room on the ground floor based on our luggage and the difficulty getting it to higher floors. This was so kind and thoughtful and we really appreciated this after our full day of travel. The staff were so accommodating and the room was perfect.

Fine for one-night stay and access to train

This was fine for our one-night stay to catch a train to Edinburgh from Kings Cross Station. The room: small, on an upper floor, which made it quieter (but the luggage schlep was not so fun). The bathroom: en-suite, but down some awkwardly placed steps. It was clean, the staff were kind and helpful. Nothing extra special but nothing bad either.

This hotel is an absolute find! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The room was great - very clean, comfortable bed and far bigger than I was expecting and the outdoor terrace was such a surprise for central London! The location is perfect for travelling from Kings Cross or St Pancras as both are only a few minutes walk away. I will definitely choose this hotel for my next business trip as it had everything I needed. Thanks to the staff for being so accommodating with a late check out (for a small fee).

Friendly and efficient check-in. We had a "small double" room which matched the description. We could get round both sides of the bed. The layout was compact but it had all that was required and comfortable. Close to St Pancras station which was good for us.

Location is excellent from Kings Cross station, however the hotel itself is poor. The toilet donwstairs was filthy, the carpets nit very clean either. The staff was not too friendly and did not give us instructions how to reach the room. Please note that the hotel does not have a lift and had multiple stairs so make sure you ask where about you are located as we have been given very poor instructions. The room was small and bathroom not very clean and smelly. I think for what was given, it was an expensive accomodation and doesn't reflect the rating on Hotels.com
