Great stay. Convenient location, spotless room and bathroom. Staff were warm, friendly and accommodating. The bed was comfortable, I was able to control the heat in the room (turn off) and open the windows (I like a cold room!) so I had a restful sleep. Will definitely stay again

Clean spacious room, reception manned 24/7. We stayed here before using the Eurostar, the terminal is only a 5 minute walk away. There are shops, restaurants and excellent transport links on the doorstep. We would 100% stay here again rather than use a large chain hotel.

An easy location to get to from Euston and st pancreas stations. Friendly staff and clean quiet room. Would stay again but hopefully not on the fourth floor with cases!

Comfortable and clean room for my one night stay. Very quiet with good location just a few minutes walk from Kings Cross/St Pancras stations. Was able to check in early as room was available which was very helpful and appreciated. Room was not particularly large but perfectly ok for just me staying the one night. Good rate and recommended.

A really good, reasonably-priced option near King's Cross. Room was spotlessly clean and reception staff very helpful. Reception is 24 hour which is helpful for later arrival or enquiries. The room (single room) had a decent size bed, but the room itself was tiny - not a problem in itself but there was nowhere to put a suitcase! This was just a minor inconvenience though and I would certainly recommend this hotel and stay again. Even though my room was on the ground floor it was quiet.
