Adela

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It was exactly as expected for a budget hotel: reception friendly, room clean and quiet, and the ability to leave luggage on check-out day. One small negative was an email before I left home stating that the room was service-free and that any extra service required would be charged. Whilst I understood the conditions, it wasn't very welcoming, and a short 'thank you for staying with us' or 'we look forward to your visit' would have taken the unwelcome edge off it.

This hotel is convenient to the train station, which was nice. The people that work there are very nice. The room is super small, no air conditioning and the area (outside) can be loud at night with people talking loud, arguing, and cars speeding in the area.

Hotel is very nice, affordable, easy access to train and buses. Just make sure you are very close to your partner if sharing room as is very small, also the restroom and shower is shared. Other than that recommended for a short one to three nights top. Friendly staff made the difference.

Excellent location

Stopping solo for 3 nights to watch west end shows, perfect location for the tube making easy access. Room very clean and on suite, small but was a single so no problem, had all you needed. Only negative was has I was on the third floor the water pressure was rather low making showering difficult.

Perfect location for a quick stop

This was exactly what I needed. I needed a hotel super close to the London St. Pancras train station for one night, so I could easily make it to the airport the next morning. This was about a 5 minute walk from the train station, which was great since it was dark and rainy. My room was actually across the street from the reception desk, and on the 3rd floor. They let me leave my big suitcase at the reception, so I could easily navigate the stairs. Small room, dark and quiet... just what I needed. I'd stay here again.

Ideal for single traveller business trip

Great location close to Kings Cross. If you’re on a business trip, the double en-suite rooms are ideal for a stay 1/2 days.

The rooms were clean and the reception staff was helpful! Very convenient location next to the underground station and plenty of dining/pub options nearby. The shower took a while for the water to heat up and the pillows were a bit flat but not a dealbreaker for me. Overall, I’d recommend this place to those who are looking for a reasonably priced place to stay for a short trip.
