Rooms are a little old, but for the location being right across from St Pancras and King's cross the price was reasonable. Wouldn't stay more than 1 or 2 nights though

The neighborhood is a little loud, but there were fans in the room and that was sufficient to cover any noise. Facility was great. Super convenient. Really friendly staff.
