The place was horrible. The doors didn't even close and the rooms smelled like sewage. Aside from being a walkable distance from Kings Cross, would avoid it if possible. Our clothes smelled of sewage after we left. The staff is very kind especially the gentleman from Brazil. He was super helpful and kind. We can tell they are doing the best they can, but the place needs a lot of work!

I want to emphasize that the staff was so great and friendly but they are under heavy construction and straight up falsely advertised our rooms. We did not have a king / queen bed as advertised, the bathrooms were pretty gross and after one shower it left the enter apartment smelling musty. The lock was also extremely difficult to use as well.

Lots of ants in the room. Bed’s horrendously uncomfortable. Shower was that bad I’d rather not get in it. The tray was split in 2 with a very poor silicone repair holding it together. There’s a coffee machine with no water tank. The staff are great and, Pedro was fantastic when checking us in but, the rooms need a serious overhaul.

There were no staff present on arrival. The room was in the basement and was damp. The rug covering the floor looked very dirty. The bathroom was tiny. The windows were obscured for some reason. We did not stay and booked into another hotel nearby.

It was really really really hot, there weren’t any staff around to help us other than some guy sat at a desk 24 hours doing his own stuff, the bathroom bin hadn’t been emptied and the tap in the sink in room 41 was literally coming off of the sink. It’s a good place to stay if you’re coming in and out and really really convenient (2 minutes from Kings Cross station). Not a lot of room, could barely fit two people in the room but it had a tea set, body wash, towels, a hair dryer and a TV provided.

This was a last minute booking and I understand we were close to the tube system. Check in process was easy. However, the overall room was not pleasant. I'm not complaining about the size of the room, because yes, it was small and I expecting hat, but the room layout was awkward. We were staying in the basement so we heard the the subway well into the night. The bed was so worn out it was shaped like a banana and you could feel the springs. It was extremely warm down there. The room had an AC unit but no way to turn it on that I knew of. It looked like it was just installed because the drywall in the ceiling was cut out and pieced back. Even though we had the window open, the amount of people smoking outside near by made us keep it closed.

The accommodation was in the perfect location for kings cross. A couple minutes from the station. There was a delay with checking in but these things happen. The staff were lovely and kept our bags for us while we went to explore whole waiting to check in. The room was nice, it had a double bed, a sofa bed and a single, on suite and small kitchen area. It was great for overnight but If staying for longer the lack of an area to hang out would become an issue and the sofa bed was a little hard. Decorating was nice but marks on the wall could do with a touch up with some paint in areas again nothing dramatic. Id stay again for the price. It was a warm and comfortable overnight stay in a great location.
