Decent Stay for the Price, But Needs Some Updates

The main reason I chose to stay was the proximity to KGX. The hotel is reasonable for the price paid—the beds were clean, and the overall cleanliness was fine. However, I found the mattresses to be somewhat worn out, and the room carpet (which is the same throughout the hotel) is due for a replacement. While it does help to hide dirt, you can see how bad it is when looking at the edges and corners. If you're allergic to dust mites or similar allergens, this may not be the best place to stay.

Safe, convenient, adequate, but loud.

The location is amazing - super easy to get around, close to Kings Cross. The hotel wasn't very lux but with 2 stars I didn't expect it to be - it was sufficient. The main downside, and it was a big downside, was the noise. I've never stayed in a more noisy hotel - you could hear construction, doors shutting, people walking down the hall and boards creaking, people talking in the rooms next door, etc. It was awful and seemed to go on throughout much of the night, particularly on the weekend. I guess you get what you pay for.

It’s alright for a quick stop

The room was okay, and housekeeping cleans daily (some hotels stopped doing daily cleaning after the pandemic). My stay was quite long and I wished the room had more hooks or spots to hang things up in the bathroom or near the door. The wardrobe was my only option and when it rains in London, I don’t want to hang my coat up with my other dry clothing in the wardrobe. Other than that, I only wish the temperature could be controlled in the room. The radiator was on the whole time, walking into a boiling room was too much. We used the fan in the room constantly. Opening the window didn’t do much help. Staff was nice and helpful though. We experienced a power outage in our room that left one of the lights not working after it was back up a minute later. Told the staff in the morning leaving the room and once we came back it was already fixed.

Central location, but in need of redecoration

Central and convenient location. Clean in general and friendly staff. In need of some redecoration. Room was facing a busy road and was noisy in the night. Mattress was beyond its lifetime.
