Room was small but very clean and comfortable, just what was needed. We didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment on that but staff were very helpful & for minor charge of £5 we could leave left luggage for day of check out which was a huge help for us. Excellent for Pancreas & King Cross & only a short walk from Euston. Recommend for a convenient & simple place to get your head down in accessible London
