Within walking distance of Euston Station. Staff were friendly and helpful. Unable to comment on the food as we didn’t eat at the hotel. The bathroom was on the small side. A bigger shower screen would be better - you couldn’t stop the shower water spraying all over the floor.

Actually took £50 deposit for the 2 rooms booked - rather than being 'held' as a transaction during stay - and had to action refund otherwise would not have been refunded. Booked B& B rate, but breakfast not available until 7am - after we had left, and would not refund breakfast component. Terrible.

Loved staying here, so easy to walk to from Euston (mainline/underground station) and great bus links.The room was very comfortable and clean and the hotel bar was very pleasant. The bar staff were lovely, though a quick reminder to them that tips are discretionary - no adding on that 12.5% without telling me when I just order and pay for a bottle of wine at the bar please! Otherwise, it was a great stay.

Brilliant option just by Euston station. Rooms are small but exactly what you need for short trips in London. Well priced and good value for a recently refurbed hotel. Rooms were a bit warm so we had to window open and there’s a lot of noise but that was the only downside really. Definitely our go to for short trips in!

Very clean and modernised. Not like the many old and falling apart hotels you often see in London. The room was very small and the double bed felt very small. They also tried to cram a bit too much into the room (there really wasn’t space for a coffee table and chair), but it was wel equipped, central and clean. Would use again.

Liked: Cleanliness
The location is excellent for travel links to King’s Cross and Euston, the hotel and room was very clean but the room was very small not really suitable for two people (no space for two small suitcases), bathroom was very basic, again no space or space to store toiletries. For a solo traveller it would be fine but I wouldn’t stay again as a couple, and at the price point there are better options in the area
