I stayed in a standard double room. It was great if you are just looking for a basic room for a short say. Very clean and the staff were polite and helpful. The shared toilet was very narrow and cramped, would probably pay the extra for the en suit room next time.

Clean room, seperate toilet and shower room very clean . Good price. Excellent location for King’s Cross or st pancreas stations. Very noisy area though, I would definitely recommend this hotel but ask for a room at the back and not facing into the front of the building.
