Clean room, spacious, nicely decorated. Good shower pressure. Aircon didn’t work (or I couldn’t figure out the controls, no instructions) and as the room was almost in the attic, first night it was very hot. Temperature dropped the second night and it was better.

I rarely ever give a poor review, but for this one I need to. Floor dirty (so much so my daughter’s feet turned black walking on it); filthy bathroom door, sink tap that flooded counter when turned on, unsecure wifi and to top it off cleaning lady walked into our room in morning without knocking.
Rusted tower bar
Filthy bathroom door

Basic room but perfect for a one night stay. Brilliant location over the road from kings cross and at pancras and being able to drop your bags off meant we weren't lugging them round all day
