No AC, very loud area as it was expected since it’s close to the train/subway station. The area did not feel safe either. We arrived at 8pm at the station across the street and had to take an early flight so we decided to stay there. I would not recommend staying there if you’re planning on staying longer than a night. It’s a very uncomfortable hotel. The staff was very friendly though.

Location, location, location

Location of Hotel cannot be beat, straight across from St Pancras Station. Staff were friendly, check in easy and they have a secure luggage holding room. Room was clean and had everything needed , but ive knocked a few stars off as it is very loud, it is a busy area and would benefit from double glazing and we had a basement room which, since it is at the bottom of the house the bathroom smelt very badly of drains. But for the locations and price, not too bad of a stay.

Intimate smaller hotel type setting, a taste of the simplicity of hotels way back when. Warm welcome, professional and helpful. Be redy to climb stairs. Cute room with a water basin perfect for washing hands or brushing teeth. I enjoyed sleeping with the window open. Next return i've requested a quiet room away from bathroom traffic. Hotel is convenient and well located to everything. Safe.

Arrived on the hottest day and was allocated a room, where the sun blind hadn’t been pulled down and was like a furnace. Returned to reception and explained I’m asthmatic. Very courteously found me an alternative room that was much cooler. The receptionist couldn’t have been more caring and helpful. Although the rooms are small they are equipped with everything - including a powerful fan. Great value for money.

Ideal location, decent (if rather cramped) room.

Great location m, so close to Kings Cross. They have rooms in the building where the reception is and also across the road. We were in one of the rooms across the road and were lucky enough to get a lower ground floor one with a little patio outside - very welcome in the unusually warm weather. Quite a cramped layout (both the building itself and the room) but everything we needed was there and was fine if you’re just using it as a base to do other things in London. All of the windows had broken/missing handles which did not look great but did not affect our stay.
