    The first room we got had mold in the bathroom. We weren’t exited about that. But we told the staff and they got us another room almost immediately.!they were so understanding and so nice!

    I really liked the staff. They were really nice. Lovely people! The hotel is not far from King’s Cross station which is great. The breakfast is cute and affordable. But I would‘ve loved some type of milk alternative! (Oat or soy)

    It was a little noisy with the windows open on the road side of the building. The reception and front entrance is probably due an upgrade soon. Just a little tired but other than that all was fine.

    Bedroom was clean and recently decorated. The bed was comfortable. Decent price for being near King’s Cross, Eurostar and a bus stop for Blackfriars. Towels changed everyday … the cleaner did a great job… staff on reception all the time which made it feel more secure.

    Unfortunately a neighbouring property (not associated to the hotel) had a party going on until past 3am and our room overlooked their garden and the windows didn't block any noise. My sister slept through it but I am a light sleeper and was exhausted. Luckily the lovely reception staff moved me to a single room where I could barely hear the noise so I finally got some rest!

    The room was small but comfortable and clean. Nicely decorated and it had everything we needed. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Good location, about 10 minute walk from Kings Cross.

    The shower head looked old and rusty, and the shower cubicle was pretty small. I was surprised to see the room has a metal key on a keychain instead of a modern key card. The (large) key would be inconvenient to carry around - actually guests are asked to leave their key at reception when they go out and pick it up when they come back. This is easy enough because the reception desk is staffed 24h, and as I said the staff are very friendly. Still the whole thing seemed a bit outdated to me.

    The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was pretty good - a short walk (about 10 minutes) from train stations and Underground stations. The continental breakfast was nice although there wasn't much to choose from. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.

    No bar or place to sit around for a drink and a chat. No vending machines. The rooms are small! (And adequate, but small). No room for a chair in the room.

    Incredibly kind and helpful staff. Good value for your money in central London. Walking distance from King's Cross St. Pancras. Good breakfast. Coffee and tea in your room. Good pubs, shops and restaurants a stone's throw away. Clean bathrooms.

    There is no warning when carpeted step in halls suddenly goes down or up. You can't see it, particularly in evening light. I fell and skinned my elbow, and hurt my back on a Friday. Was told the manager would reach out to me on Monday. That didn't happen. They haven't renovated in a long time. Floors in hall are spongy. Ask for a garden side room, street side is very noisy, very early. Also, ask for a room with a shower door or you will get one where it goes into the bathroom and the door to the bathroom is peeling apart.

    The staff does their utmost to please you. It's very clean, and the rooms are small but cute. The single rooms are small but arranged well.

    Curtains are way too thin & let in too much light. Take a mask if you want to sleep. Also, the pillows are too few, and don’t offer enough support (spoken as a side-sleeper).

    Ideally located just a short walk from St Pancras & Euston stations. Also, the enclosed garden at the back was an enjoyable place to relax and eat our deliveroo-delivered fish & chip supper! Friendly, helpful staff too.

    Nothing much. The hotel would benefit a restoration, but everything is functional, so it is a great offer for someone looking for a budget friendly accomodation, especially solo travelers and those with short stay.

    Everything was exactly as described. I got clean sheets and towels every day, plus water, coffee and biscuits. The TV was also in the room with lots of channels to choose from. I was placed in a room looking outside on the street which is quite noisy, but if you close the window during night, you won't hear it. Great location close to King's Cross Underground station and British Museum. Overall, very plesant and enjoyable stay.
