It’s was a very pleasant experience and the staff were very friendly and very caring, we had accidentally forgot the insulin in the fridge for my son and the staff made it a priority to reach us out and stayed until we were able to pick it up, we were grateful and happy with the staff

I'd look elsewhere
Its possible there are some decent rooms in this hotel. Mine wasnt one of them. Reception was nice and staff seemed friendly enough. Room was in poor condition with a smashed plug socket, wallpaper hanging off, bathroom very small and no shower curtain so everywhere got soaked when you took a shower. Metal camp bed looking thing with a cheap matress and 2 very thin pillows. I dont like writing poor reviews as ive run businesses in hospitality and i know how reviews affect business. But this wasnt a particularly pleasant stay unfortunately and one id not look to repeat.

OK for the price, could improve at same price
Service was friendly and engaging. The hotel's pretty nice, and really handy for Kings Cross. The room was OK for one. A bedside lamp would have been a helpful touch. Please don't put the TV directly under the air con - it was dripping condensate onto the electrics and will do so again. I raised it with staff, who have resolved to fix this.
