A small but comfortable single room on the top floor. It would have been nice to be provided with more than one towel though. Location is nice and quiet but it's very easy to hear other guests moving in and out of their rooms. A good place for a very short stay in central London.

Room was small but very clean and comfortable, just what was needed. We didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment on that but staff were very helpful & for minor charge of £5 we could leave left luggage for day of check out which was a huge help for us. Excellent for Pancreas & King Cross & only a short walk from Euston. Recommend for a convenient & simple place to get your head down in accessible London
