Nice room - clean, tidy and well presented. Unfortunately, it was a very hot night and the absence of air conditioning meant that we had to keep the windows wide open all night, with resultant continuous traffic noise from Euston Road (including sirens etc.), plus people talking in the street outside. This meant we got very little sleep. I have no doubt that our stay would have been very comfortable had the outside temperature been more moderate.

This hotel is in a convenient location and the staff provided good service. The bed was very uncomfortable (waaay too soft) and the bathroom/shower was cramped. This property is fine if you have a layover to catch a next day train but I wouldn’t recommend staying any longer, particularly given how uncomfortable the bed was.

We had no idea we were paying $300 a night to stay in what appeared to be a hostel/motel. We booked a room for mom and 2 grandkids and the space was so small I felt that it was nearly unbearable for a comfy family stay of 3 nights. Worst stay for price in my London travels.

Was easy to find from St P station, quick check in, we were put on the top floor, which was a lot of steps for an older lady but i managed, room was ok, bit small but for 1 night didnt really matter, thank god for the electric fan as room was soooo hot!!! Wasnt too keen on shared shower and toilet, again tiny areas, but put up with it for 1 night... check out was by 11am which gives plenty of time to sort out... Overall a good place to stay for 1 night only..

The location can’t be beaten for anyone travelling to or from St Pancras/ Kings Cross Stations. I had the single room with en suite bathroom, hi h I knew would be tiny, but the bathroom especially would have been been almost unusable by anyone larger than me, if you’re of petite build, this is a very good option for short term accommodation in London. For those taller or heavier people, I’d find somewhere else. The staff were very helpful, the place was spotlessly clean, it was surprisingly quiet…it was just the small dimensions of the en suite that let it down.

Good location close to St Pancras

Great welcome. Room was small but we chose it solely for its proximity to St Pancras. Very hot, but the biggest issue was the small double bed which made for an uncomfortable night. Shame. Bathroom fine, and beautifully clean. Nice outdoor area.

Hotel was in a great location for access to transportation and local attractions. Check-in and check-out were easy with friendly staff. Room was clean and well appointed. Only con was that room was pretty tiny. I expected that from what I had read online and it was not really an issue for my one night stay.
