Liked: Cleanliness
The room is basic, clean, bed was comfortable enough for a 2 night stay. My room was at the rear of the property so very quiet. No aircon but a fan was provided and that was adequate. Plenty of pubs around and walking distance to Kings Cross station. Overall good stay and good location.

Ok for one night

Arrived ahead of check in time and we were able to leave our bags. Didn't return until 11pm to check - reception is 24 hours. We were on the third floor which was served by a lift. Room decor was tired and dated as was the flooring. Only one electric socket. Some issues with the water to the basin. The shower was woeful unfortunately. Was fine for one night and wasn't the worst hotel I've ever stayed in.

This is an excellent value for your money stay. Please keep in mind they have a low nightly cost so don’t expect the finest of everything. That being said 5* staff, helpful, courteous and more than willing to give you advice or directions. We stayed in a Quad room and though it was smaller it housed all our luggage and was a clean safe place to rest our heads at night and get cleaned up!
