worst property I have ever stayed at. Looked like it was cloudy outside because the windows are so dirty. floor was filthy. Walls were filthy. old stained ripped chair in room. Mattresses were horrible. One available outlet that was hooked up to a power bar that did not work if more than one plug being used. Vent scotch taped to wall. Other bits of old tape on wall. Shower was black with mould around the edges. Overall, absolutely gross. Booked for two nights. Left after one night and had to pay for another hotel.

Close to King’s Cross, was ok just a bit dated

Check in was easy, friendly staff and let us into our room early. The rooms are very dated could do with updating the beds and decor. The bathroom was nice and good shower. Close to King’s Cross which is what we wanted. It is what it is a budget option hotel but fine to get your head down for a night.

I wouldn't recommend this place

The staff member was rude and because he barely spoke any English it was like talking to a brick wall and it took me about twenty minutes to be able to check in.The bedroom sink had a crack in it and the wardrobe only had one hanger in it.The mattress was only quite thin too.
