Not what you see

Does not look like what it does on the pictures. Meant to look boutique-esk. We esstentially had a box room. No water, no service, a bed squished up against the wall and bumping into everything.

I do not recommend. Mouldy, damp and unclean.

Start to finish, I turned up to the hotel and was asked a for a code I didn't receive and then he release I was a room with a key so didn't need a code. The key to the outside door was not working properly but I was told I just need to give it a few goes, in the end this key was not good enough. Once in the room I dropped of my stuff and had to head out. On my return I couldn't get through the door but another guest came and opened it with a code. Once back into he from I was about to have a proper look at the room. The walls had mould on, the corner and other areas had cobweb, the bin hadn't been emptied, there was a pair of knickers left in the room and the mattress had some plywood under as the frame was broken. I tried to call the hotel to change rooms as there was no one at reception but nobody answered the 3 times I tried. I managed to sleep. When I checked out I reported all this to the receptionist and they said they would look into it. I would not recommend this hotel as the price was the same as a premier inn which is always good quality and around the corner.

Down side: One of the double beds was a broken camp bed. Broken window in the room. Shared patio which we didn’t know before we went and it was filthy, cigarette bits etc. no coffee in the room. Overall a but random. Up side: Staff were really helpful. Great location for Kings Cross. No coffee provided in the room or reception Okay for one night. I wouldn’t have wanted to stay longer sadly.

Wouldn’t recommend.

The hotel does not look like the picture. It is run down. I was there with my daughter and did not feel safe at all. There was constant movement around the hotel and up the stairs. For a solo traveller needed somewhere to sleep: Probably okay! But for a family? No. The bed sheets weren’t secured on the bed and the mattress was dirty. The location is right near construction so it was not pleasant to walk around. The window opened wide and had no safety barriers. Very unnerving.

Fun family one night stay

Super wonderful staff who were friendly and amiable. A small issue with a non-working code was sorted swiftly and in a very professional manner. If you have a dodgy back or sort joints the mattresses might not do you any favours but the room was perfect for a family of 4 about to go on holiday

Close to Kings Cross. Staff were helpful and pleasant. The room was small but very clean. It was great for one night but would not be great for a long stay as there was very little storage for clothes- no hangers , plus the mirrors were too high to look into so it was impossible for shaving, makeup, hair etc.

Only stayed for 1 night and it was due to its proximity to the Eurostar which was fantastic, the bad points were to some extent not the hotels fault. It was a fairly warm night, high 20’s and couldn’t have the windows open due to the surrounding areas just being so nosy it was almost non stop sirens from the surrounding sreas and just general noise from the outside so had to shut the window to reduce the noise (not completely remove it) having the window shut made the room even hotter as there is zero airflow or anything to cool down the room, there was also loud banging from other guests every time a door was opened/closed and etc. I think if you do say here take some ear plugs and maybe only book for the colder months of the year. The staff were polite and efficient, the location is a short walk from the station, the facility’s were dated and not In the best condition but the real reason I wouldn’t stay again is the complete lack of sleep that was had from the noise and heat.

Photo's are not an accurate representation

Like many others previously, the photo's draw you in and really aren't an accurate representation of what you're actually getting. Significant mould/decay around toilet flush, sink and mould spots on ceiling and bed base. Beds are lumpy and dated its just a basic double with a box base. Tvs are maybe 25 inch. The pictures you are looking at are probably when it first opened years ago but nothing has been done in terms of repairs and upkeep. The only reason i'm not totally disappointed is because its literally 2 minutes from kings cross station and we didn't spend much time at all in the rooms
