Spotlessly clean, helpful staff, very convenient for station. However, it was impossible to sleep due to the noise from other guests and from traffic on the street. There should be building modifications to deal with the unbearable noise, frankly. It ruined our stay. The rooms are also very compact.

This hotel is very centrally located and only a short walk from King’s cross station. The room was small but well laid out as there was space under the bed to stow your bags. The budget double room would be better suited for one person and not two people but the location of the hotel, the friendly staff and clean rooms made up for the size of the room. Would recommend.

Alistair

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Very clean room, good area close to King’s Cross/St Pancras station, reception staff were brilliant. Room was booked as a small double so I knew what I was expecting but still rather small with the bed pushed against the wall which isn’t ideal for when it is 2 people sharing but grand for 1 or 2 nights! Only down side was that the luggage storage was just leaving your bags/suitcases in the reception, where I believe it would benefit from a locker system for peace of mind. Overall would definitely stay again.

We stayed in the hotel for one night as we had a flight to catch the following day. The staff were very friendly and made us feel really welcome and although the room was small it was very clean and very comfortable. The room didn't need to be any bigger for our needs. The hotel was also in a great location very close to Kings Cross station and near some lovely bars and restaurants. My wife and I wiukd definitely stay in this hotel again.
