The hotel is quite poor. We pretty much had only a square room in a basement with toilet. We could hear Subway in the night and people walking in the room above us. Mattress was quite terrible and the toilet was dirty when we came into our room.

Considering the price you would expect a bare minimum of clean bed sheets. The pillow had old mascara stains on, and the bed sheet and numerous weird stains on it....the bathroom was located up the stairs and was also filthy. Bed was very uncomfortable and was very noisy with people coming and going. Please don't stay here, better off staying in a hostel

Great little hotel near King's Cross station, my only gripe is I prefer two pillows and lots of stairs to navigate. Other than that great guy who welcomed us.

It was terrible. I have sight problems. The bedroom had no bathroom. It was outside up winding stairs. Very dangerous. You could not get into the bathroom quickly. It was padlocked and you had to open it with a key. Not a star rated hotel.

Was fine for a 2 star hotel. Our room was tiny; two people will have a hard time moving around at the same time. Bathroom was extremely small- shower and half a sink. It served its purpose. Room was made up and cleaned every day. If you leave a note for any needs, someone supplies it for when you return. No one mans the front desk

Disappointing

The room was tiny and should not have been classified as a double. More like a single that crammed in another bed.

Awful stay…avoid!

Family of 4, stayed in quad room (no 5). Booked as had an early Eurostar from St Pancreas. Had to wait for several minutes for someone to answer door. Very dated and badly worn carpets, furniture and decor. Awkward staircase to get up with luggage. Bannister loose. Room very small, literally couldn’t turn round in shower/wc room. Smelt strongly of cannabis. Floorboards rotten under carpet as can feel broken areas under foot. Toilet was loose, not fitted to floor properly. Heard noise all night long, doors banging, ring doorbell going, guests being overly loud. If it wasn’t late and fact we was leaving at 4am I would have moved hotel. No one was present when I left in morning to complain to.

Nice place, shame about bathroom being upstairs

2nd time here and first time around I thought I had a shared bathroom. Turns out that it was just mine, but it's up a flight of stairs from a room near the from door. This should be a bit clearer on the room description. Other than that, nice comfortable double bed, big TV, warm and clean

Large rooms close to King's Cross

Comfortable bed, clean and large room, but a little bit noisy being next to reception where you hear everyone coming in and out of the door + the ring doorbell. I'm sure other rooms might be quieter. Stayed with shared bathroom, little odd to have padlock on bathroom

It was perfect for what I needed. Had an early morning outbound train to catch, and couldn't risk overnight engineering works overrunning, meaning I'd miss the train. So, needed somewhere affordable and comfortable right near the station. I found what I needed.

The hotel is a great distance to the train station and the bed was really comfortable. The only two downsides was the noise from the underground below and our room had a door to the outside as we were in a basement room and it made me feel uneasy.
