This hotel is very centrally located and only a short walk from King’s cross station. The room was small but well laid out as there was space under the bed to stow your bags. The budget double room would be better suited for one person and not two people but the location of the hotel, the friendly staff and clean rooms made up for the size of the room. Would recommend.

We stayed in the hotel for one night as we had a flight to catch the following day. The staff were very friendly and made us feel really welcome and although the room was small it was very clean and very comfortable. The room didn't need to be any bigger for our needs. The hotel was also in a great location very close to Kings Cross station and near some lovely bars and restaurants. My wife and I wiukd definitely stay in this hotel again.

We had an extremely small room without most amenities in other rooms. It was called a "budget room without a window. Very lively building but make sure to get a larger room.

VERY comfortable bed, able to open window for ventilation and leave a/c off, very quiet at rear of the hotel. Very clean. photo of room was misleading because there was nowhere to hang clothes - apart from directly over the kettle and coffee tray where they would easily get splashed or stained.

A great little hotel in a great location. 5 mins walk from Kings Cross St. Pancras. I have stayed here twice, in the same room and liked it very much. The single room is small but fine for 2 days / nights. There is a good burger house on the corner as you approach the hotel and plenty of other ethnic food places too. Vietnamese, Italian and good old MacD's and KFC. You will not go hungry. The rates are good, the staff are friendly and helpful and overall I can thoroughly recommend it.
