This hotel was really close to the train station but on a quiet road. We shared a toilet with the rest of the floor but had a sink and shower in our room. The room was small but comfortable.

The staff was super sweet! We had to check in super late after a flight, and they were incredibly accommodating. No AC in late June in London was a little rough, but they were lovely to set two fans in the room for us and have the window and door open for air flow before we got in. Solid experience overall.

Poor area and room at an expensive price

For the price of the room (£180) you would expect an ensuite bathroom. The shared bathroom is 2 floors down. Too far. The room was directly on the street and you could hear every late night / early morning conversation. Next time i ll book a travelodge.

A good basic room. Some rooms have a shared bath / toilet. No AC in the basic room we had but a fan was provided and window opened completely. Room was quiet and adequate for a single night stay to catch an early train the next morning.

Room was fine but I did not realise that a hotel would not have a lift. I seriously struggle with stairs and very much appreciated your staff member taking my suitcase up and down. Maybe you should make the fact that there are long steep stairs clear on your web site?

Let me just say, not so good. Staff is very helpful and kept things clean, but there is no climate control for warm weather (just a fan and an open window). I accidentally booked a shared bathroom and it was down two flights of stairs from our room. The shower would have been all the way in the basement, so we didn't bother. Sweated it out. First night the host gave us an ensuite bathroom, which was passable. Second night none were available, thus the bathroom nightmare. Kudos to the kind and helpful staff for trying, but this did not work for me. Sorry

City break on a budget

Booked without reading properly re the shared bathroom. It really was an issue, the bathroom was clean and tidy, plenty of bath mats. Towels were in our room with a double sink. We had a 5 bed family room. Location was perfect, Kings Cross, 2 minutes to tube/St Pancras, 10 minutes to Euston. Can’t beat it for a city break on a budget.
