I rarely leave negative reviews and feel worse as the place is independently run. The positive first is it’s next to King’s Cross for the Eurostar and is the only reason I booked it. The negatives, the room stank. Growing up on a council estate, the room equalled the smell of an unwashed, cigarette ridden mouldy apartment. I can only imagine the local council has put up long term homeless tenants in this hotel. I couldn’t leave the window open whilst I slept due to the noise outside which is to be expected in London. The room was roasting due to no air con or desktop fan at a minimum. Lastly as an experienced traveller I always bring ear plugs, however even over ear plugs you can hear every rattle and creak which combined with inconsiderate guests is a recipe for a nightmare. The hotel can’t control guests but they can control sound proofing. Just pay the extra for a travelodge or a premier inn, you won’t get any sleep in this hotel and you will start your travels off grumpy!

Room comfortable enough, but the shower was only lukewarm water. And you desperately need to upgrade your pillows! They are completely flat.

While it is a good location and value near the train stations, this is not an easy hotel to stay in. Three flights of stairs with steep incline for luggage, and the tiniest room in which we have ever stayed - seriously, barely room for two carry on bags and two bodies. The bed is against a wall, lengthwise, requiring one of the couple to climb over the other. I honestly did not see on the website that it was a shared bath, but indeed, it was. Make sure you are ok with all of this if you stay there.

Great affordable option

Great stay, room was small, as expected. But very comfortable. I had a shared bathroom and shower (those are 2 separate rooms in the hallway), both were clean. Also, you have a sink in your room which is great. Good location as well, right near the train station.
