Spacious unit and amenities compared to what’s available in the area. Self check in is fine. However, remote assistance can be better, e.g to offer WhatsApp, Line, or WeChat calls and messaging assistance rather than calls through a local line only, which is only available on a house phone located on the 1st floor of property (inconvenient)

The only bad thing, it you get the suite it’s 4 sets of super high stairs up, a nightmare to get suitcases up. Joyce at the Lincoln Arms pub is lovely though.

Close to St Pancras

The location is very good for travel from St Pancras. The noise of renovations next door was not so great but that will be temporary. The owners take great care to keep the property at a high standard. A broken blind was fixed within hours of us reporting it. The space is 'cosy' for a couple.

A great studio apartment in a fantastic location. Very modern yet characterful, and well appointed. I love the location overlooking the platforms and trains at Kings Cross. Naturally it is quite noisy because of where it is, but I expected it would be and took earplug’s for over night. Otherwise I liked the noise of the trains and the general hubbub outside. The apartment was warm but there is a good fan and the windows open. I would definitely stay here again.

Great stay! Lovely clean room in a great area right across from Kings cross station. The one thing to look out for is that our room was on the top floor and had 4 flights of stairs with no lift, no problem for us but could be an issue for others

Good value next to Kings X

Great location next to Kings X. Clean rooms and well appointed for a couple of nights stay. Communication could have been better. We were given one room in confirmation the day before which was moved to another the day of.

Super convenient location. Apartment was as described. I stayed in apartment 6 on the 3rd floor, note the stairs are narrow and quite steep and there is no lift. Couple of things that would have turned this from good to excellent 1. Install a full length mirror in the room - a must! 2. Frosted glass in the bathroom, even with the blind, it felt quite exposing to have pretty much a full length window in the actual shower. 3. Invest in a decent fan - it wasn't too hot when I stayed, but the room got quite warm and the fan frankly didn't cut it on cooling the room down
