Great location near restaurants, public transportation and Kings Cross / St Pancras train station. Good price / value for money. Friendly and helpful staff. Full kitchen. Fun “take a book / leave a book” library. Great communication before arrival. Need to empty rubbish bin inside sleeping room every day. No A/C and hot weather made it difficult to sleep.
