We stayed for 2 nights. We had 2 rooms with ensuite bathroooms, one which was much smaller than the other despite paying the same price. The rooms were clean and the showers were hot, so served our purpose. The rooms were a little dated and could do with a refurbishment. The staff were friendly, pleasant and very helpful. We don't come to London much, but if we did we would use the hotel again.

Small hotel close to Eurostar train station, and the metro station. Basic accommodation, the room was a bit small, but appropriate for the price. But was a bit surprised they charged for luggage storage on checkout day.

Decent for an affordable hotel. I was able to store my luggage in a reception hall before check in, and I mostly stayed in my room once i checked in. The floor was rather worn in my room and had chips in the planks. The bed was fine, but the room was quite dusty. I could hear conversations in nearby rooms and snoring from other guests. Be aware that the hotel is very close to Kings Cross, and so there was much noise from local construction and musicians near the station. Checking in and out went smoothly, and the paid breakfast was adequate.

Very convenient and good value

Very convenient if you want a place by Kings Cross. I took a small single room with en-suite at a very reasonable price and that is exactly what I got. As a plus the staff were extremely friendly. If you are simply looking for a good value overnight stay in a very convenient location then this is your place.
