Ha, that photo is so far from the reality. My room was so dirty. I don't think anyone has wiped dust in 10 year. All radiators, shaower etc where caked in rust, no point putting your towel to warmup or dry there. Just grim. The advertised safe in the room didn't work, it was locked. I was later told they don't have the key to them. So don't expect to leave any valuables there. It was meant to have a receptionist, didn't see one until I left in the morning. So if you are lone femal traveller looking for a manned hotel, don't go here. I called the number twice given as contact and left a voicemail as nobody answered. NObody ever called me back. Absolutely shocking place.

There were no staff present on arrival. The room was in the basement and was damp. The rug covering the floor looked very dirty. The bathroom was tiny. The windows were obscured for some reason. We did not stay and booked into another hotel nearby.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The hotel is currently undergoing refurbishment, which is positive, but no effort was made to minimise the impact of that on other guests, and there was no acknowledgement from staff that building materials lying in corridors might be unusual. Our room was unrefurbished, meaning it was tired, and non-working lights exposes a general lack of care. Email communication is strange, with many and repeated messages about the check-in process, including AFTER the stay

The accommodation was in the perfect location for kings cross. A couple minutes from the station. There was a delay with checking in but these things happen. The staff were lovely and kept our bags for us while we went to explore whole waiting to check in. The room was nice, it had a double bed, a sofa bed and a single, on suite and small kitchen area. It was great for overnight but If staying for longer the lack of an area to hang out would become an issue and the sofa bed was a little hard. Decorating was nice but marks on the wall could do with a touch up with some paint in areas again nothing dramatic. Id stay again for the price. It was a warm and comfortable overnight stay in a great location.

It was really really really hot, there weren’t any staff around to help us other than some guy sat at a desk 24 hours doing his own stuff, the bathroom bin hadn’t been emptied and the tap in the sink in room 41 was literally coming off of the sink. It’s a good place to stay if you’re coming in and out and really really convenient (2 minutes from Kings Cross station). Not a lot of room, could barely fit two people in the room but it had a tea set, body wash, towels, a hair dryer and a TV provided.
