Great and welcoming staff. Check-in was very quick considering I only booked 30mins in advance. It's very conveniently located 2mins walk from Kings Cross station. The room is very small, but for a 1 night stay, it's more than enough.

I would stay here again. It's incredibly convenient to get to the station and from there anywhere. The hotel isn't a Ritz which is why it's so much cheaper but if you're looking for a place to sleep that's reasonably clean and well kept them this is it. The staff was very helpful when asked questions. They allow bag drop before your check in time which was super helpful.
