Beds ok, bathroom poorly upgraded. Basically, the people hanging around outside the door at night was disconcerting. Someone with a drum at 2:00 a.m. on street waking everyone up two nights in a row. Only good thing was close to train and subway

Convient Location was about the only plus point. Very tired, unclean hotel. Rooms were in very poor condition. In need of renovation urgently. Noise from the roads were horrendous, terrible nights sleep. Dry cleaning lorry turned up around 10:30 banging and clattering. A lot of noise of passing people (can’t be helped but the windows were very poor quality so let a draft through as well as the noise of the near by what sounded like a bar or club music until late) Bathroom very poor condition Stairs up to the room were very unclean, Staff were very friendly which was a shame for the overall stay. Unfortunately I would not recommend

Perfectly adequate hotel for a short stay, friendly staff and clean rooms which is all you need. If you're looking for an upmarket hotel or somewhere with breakfast I would not recommend it, but as an affordable option in the centre of London I would absolutely recommend it as a place to stay.

Ok, Not Great
The staff was very nice (but don't rely on their bus advice). The location was very convenient to Kings Cross, British Museum, and British Library. Lots of places to eat nearby. Room was adequate but dreary. The internet was slow, the water pressure low. Quite a bit of street noise. Fine as a budget place to stay for a night or two but not ideal for a relaxing getaway.
