Really disappointing experience overall, especially considering we paid over $100 per night. Our room was located on the lowest level of the hotel—essentially the basement. While the rest of the property smelled heavily of air freshener, our section had a strong sewage-like odor. The source appeared to be black mold, which was visible throughout the bathroom: on the walls, in the tile grout, and even on the shower curtain. This felt like a genuine health concern. Additionally, the hotel requires guests to leave their room key at reception when going out. One evening, the staff member on duty disappeared for about 30 minutes, leaving me locked outside in the cold. I was only able to get in because my partner was in the room; otherwise, I would have been stuck waiting. We then had to continue waiting for the staff member to return just to retrieve our key. After checking out, both of us became ill. We can’t say definitively it was caused by the hotel, but considering the conditions, it’s hard not to wonder. Overall, given the price and the state of the room, I wouldn’t recommend staying here. P.S. Wifi was awful, if that factors into your decision.

If you ever want to experience how not to run a hotel, this is the place! 😅 Old carpet straight from the last century, a bed that could double as a trampoline, and towels so tiny they could be napkins. The grand amenity? One little bar of soap. We climbed three floors by stairs — bonus workout included! The guy at the front desk clearly missed the class on hospitality; I’m pretty sure he hates his job more than I hated the room. Woke up to street noise, packed our bags, and escaped an hour early… while it was still dark. 10/10 for the survival story, 0/10 for comfort. 😂

The location was convenient as it is close to Kings Cross and ST Pancras. It was a bit cold in the room on the first night and i told the front desk but nothing was done. I asked for extra blanket but it was not placed in the room. On the third night, the heater finally came on because i assume other guests had also mentioned it. Room was clean but dated. The shower faucet was really high and not movable so one had to remove it from the holder as the water would spray to the other wall.
