The hotel is small and well run - it is also rather spartan, but was perfect for us: great location, easy access to the tube, a pub within a block was great for breakfast and it and another were good spots for an afternoon/evening pub meal. Staff was quite helpful locating things in the area, as well. It is not a luxury spot, but is great for a place to sleep while exploring London - we'd go back.

I always stay here - close enough for everything I need, far enough from the main road to be quiet for a good night sleep - rooms are always clean and the staff are always lovely, so can't really ask for much more

Great location and so easy for Kings Cross, neighbourhood fine, couple of coffee shops and pubs nearby. Room and en-suite both clean although decor and carpeting is a little dated, decent size for a twin room. Staff pleasant. Excellent value for money I’d definitely stay here again.
