Long weekend in London.

Well located hotel just a 5 minute stroll from Kings Cross / St Pancras, with very helpful staff. The rooms are very small and the shower rooms are tiny - just enough room to turn around. The staircases are steep so if you are mobility restricted then not for you. The rooms could do with a refit but it's OK for a night or 2.

Rooms are tiny, no airflow, smells of sewage and damp, no lifts so difficult with luggage. The only thing going for this property is it's close to Kings Cross station.

The pro about staying here was the convenience of the location near the train station and price, cons is that it was very outdated and small.

A couple of days to start the holiday

The location was awesome as I was going to the British Museum and then taking the Eurostar at St Pancras. The room was small but expected the bathroom was good with good water pressure. The staff were excellent and friendly. I recommend it.
