Room was ok. However at 6pm a leak flooded through the light fitting in the bathroom onto the floor. It was so dangerous that I didn't have a shower in the morning.

Very convenient and good value

Very convenient if you want a place by Kings Cross. I took a small single room with en-suite at a very reasonable price and that is exactly what I got. As a plus the staff were extremely friendly. If you are simply looking for a good value overnight stay in a very convenient location then this is your place.

It was nice, but the beds were uncomfortable and the breakfast didn't have a whole lot of options and was $15 a day for breakfast. It is close to Kings Cross so it was nice for convenience and McDonalds was right next to Kings Cross so if you wanted a larger Varity for breakfast you could just go there.

A decent room for a decent price

I was looking for a decent but not too expensive room for my short stay and this hotel - very close to King Cross - was perfect for it. Don't expect a 5 star room but if you want to be in center of London and have a ggod night sleep it is perfect for it.

I'm surprised this qualifies as two stars

Check in was easy. There is no lift, so if you are less able bodied or have heavy luggage, be prepared to carry it up as many as three flights of stairs. Check in concierge was a bit aloof, but overnight concierge was pleasant. For the room, one of the worst beds I've slept in. Sheets clean but dust behind bed head (I was looking for plugs). Two towels provided but no foot towel for the floor, so the bathroom becomes very slippery if you take a shower. Shower head holder on the wall was screwed in too close to the ceiling, so you can't engage the shower head in it to take a shower. Kettle lid was broken, so the kettle wouldn't turn off when boiled. Only one cup was provided despite booking a double room for two.

The staff were lovely and friendly, but our room was much smaller and more rundown than it appears in the photos. London hotels are very expensive, but this didn’t feel worth what we paid.Overall, it was comfy and quiet and the location is great, but we didn’t want to do anything but sleep there.

Absolutely disgusting!

Very dirty! Hallway carpet not seen a hover for a long time, same as room. Cobwebs everywhere! No sink plug. Could not fill kettle, no space in dirty sink to fill. Dirty unusable shower and very stained towels. Waited ages for entry to Hotel. Apparently, attendant was in toilet! Very expensive £90 for one night. Only convenience being near to St Pancras Station for very early morning Eurostar train to Brussels Midi, then to Brugge Station. Got to be better hotels, would not recommend this place to anybody.
