Clean and comfortable, but SMALL! It did what we needed for 2 nights, but if staying longer there is not much room to unpack stuff for the stay. Location is GREAT! Near the King Cross Station!

This is a VERY basic hotel, though this is reflected in the price. It’s also 6 minutes from Eurostar. You get what you pay for

Room was compact. Room 12 up 4 flights of stairs, quite tight, especially if you have to carry your luggage. Staff did offer to help with luggage, a plus.

We have a strong suspicion that one of our party was bitten by a bed bug the night we stayed at this property. Staff was fine. Trash was in front of the garden level. They have Wi-Fi though.

Excellent location, very close to Kings Cross/Underground. Had all the amenities (slight issue with a leaky kettle- but i dont use hotel kettles anyway). Lady at reception was very helpful and kind- stored our luggage after checkout and gave us some snacks for our toddler. My only issue was that the room/toilet is quite small, very limited space for movement and to store multiple bags and i feel like all toilets should have enough room on either side to sit comfortably and there was a slight smell on the bottom floor- but for the price and all the other stuff. Definitely worth it and would go back.

Professional, welcoming staff. Quiet. Very convenient position. However, stairs are narrow and steep, public areas need refreshing. Beds were creaky and wobbly (room 8) and very wonky (room 13, previous stay). Shower doesn't fix up, and hard to turn off. Cleaning isn't brilliant, there was blood on the radiator next to my bed, and daily cleaning didn't get as far as the bathroom.
