I've stayed in many hotels in this area and thought this was excellent value for money. Super clean, ensuite toilet and shower, towels, in room coffee/tea and kettle, 24hr reception. You can easily pay twice as much in London for somewhere not as good!

Everything was good. The staff were friendly. The room was cleaned everyday. The only thing I would say is the park across the street is very active even at 3am, random people yelling throughout the night. Bring ear plugs to sleep.

Staff were pleasant, location is good for St Pancras. I had a top floor room in the rear, so quiet. It's all cheap and dated, and the quilt had cigarette burns. Seemed clean enough otherwise.
