Wonderful small hotel, perfectly located for Eurostar & all London public transport. Friendly efficient staff, luggage storage on request, quiet accessible rooms, all in all the best hotel we've stayed in in central London. We're coming back next week. Loved it.

Room was small, but this is typical of Llondon hotels. It was very clean, and the beed was good. However, the consisten lack of elevator in these small hotels with their steep narrow stars ,are a problem for older guests. It i s important to request a room onthe ground floor if you have any kind of limited mobility.

Pleasant and convenient.

I have stayed here before. It is so convenient from Kings Cross and I like the early check in time. Both times I have stayed, my room has been ready even earlier. Reception staff are friendly. Rooms are small, but clean, comfortable and quiet. Secure luggage storage.

For a budget option where I just needed a place near the mainline stations to sleep this was great - everything I needed for my basic requirements. What impressed me the most was the service of those at the reception desk. They were very pleasant and helpful.

The check in was wonderful. He let us check in early. The problem is the cleaning staff walked into my room 3 times within a 24 hour stay. NEVER IN MY 53 YEARS OF LIFE has this ever happened to me. I had to block the door with a chair. As a single woman this was not a good experience.

Very convenient location for all transit..so close to Kings Cross & St Pancras. Quiet, clean, tidy & safe. Nice to use the Urban Garden to sit and enjoy our wine and cheese. Shared toilet and shower were kept clean. The rooms are small, and the stairs are narrow and steep...so if you have heavy luggage or don't like stairs, you would want to book a room on a lower floor. We were on the top floor and it was warm; thinking it must get very warm in the summer.

Extremely helpful and friendly staff! The room was very clean, and the hotel itself is located right across the street from Kings Cross Station and St. Pancras Station, so transportation was extremely convenient within London and within the UK at large. Plenty of restaurant options nearby, and two supermarkets within walking distance. Best suited for travelling relatively lightly, as there is not a ton of space for luggage. That being said, the room successfully accommodated our 4 carry-on suitcases and 4 large backpacks. The people at the reception were very pleasant and assisted us with scheduling a taxi. Great experience overall!

Very friendly staff and clean rooms! The hotel is located right across the street from Kings Cross Station and St. Pancras Station, so transportation is extremely convenient to practically anywhere in London and the rest of the UK. Plenty of restaurant options nearby, and two supermarkets within walking distance. The room (bathroom especially) is a little small, but not unreasonable for the price and location (and it being London). Best suited for travelling lightly, as there is not a lot of space for luggage, and luggage may need to be taken up stairs. The room accommodated a large backpack and a carry-on suitcase without issue, but additional luggage would make it a tight fit. Great experience overall and would definitely stay here again!

**Great Location, Great Staff, Lovely Hotel 9/10**

Our trip was just a stay over to attend appointments and avoid lengthy train journeys to and from London. The hotel is very easy to find, a mere stones throw from Kings Cross ST PANCRAS stations. Check in was very quick and efficient and we had our room key in minutes. We were put in the annex over the road, which didn't present a problem as such. The room, though compact had two double beds and was spotlessly clean, comfortable with everything you could want, including ample tea and coffee making provisions. Shower room, again, spotlessly clean and the shower the following morning, providing ample hot water, big white towels adorned the bed in a fan sheet on arrival. The downsides, but I write an honest review were that our room more or less sat above London Underground's Piccadilly Line and in actually working for the company, we knew exactly what time to expect the first train in the morning, so if you're a light sleeper, you should ask for a higher floor. Talking of higher floors, the one above us amplified every foot step of the occupants above and it would be fair to say, they weren't light on their feet!, so between them and the Tube, not a great nights sleep. That said and all things considered, would we stay there again - YES, as I'd know what to ask for the next time.
