It's in a good location and has clean rooms. Could be a little noisy at night, but it didn't get super loud at any point. Near a station for the Underground or is a 15 minute walk to King's Cross. Safe area with good selection of restaurants nearby.

We have stayed at the city sleeper many times over the last three years. The rooms were what we were expecting clean large and comfortable. There is no air-conditioning in the rooms and at 28° outside it was a hot sticky night however there is a fan that’s provided, but it doesn’t really do much to make the room bearable. Unfortunately, The check-in, checkout and particularly the left luggage guy were rude and unhelpful. The left luggage guy literally opened the door and said no room before promptly telling us we needed to go down into the basement to leave our luggage, which is the other side of the hotel and down a floor. When I told him that I was disabled and couldn’t walk that far with my luggage and that would be difficult for me to get to he basically shrugged his shoulders and told there was a lift! Thank you to manager Paula who sorted things out for us and managed to find room for my one suitcase!

Overall, the hotel is very clean and comfortable. The citysleeper rooms have modern decor and clean bathrooms. However, the shower was completely unusable due to the abysmal water pressure. It was a dribble. It was so bad, it would prevent me from booking this hotel again.

Nice and close to everything but no AC

The hotel was very convenient and nice except no air conditioner! We had a small fan so it was uncomfortable to sleep, very hot. Our room was on the Main Street so there was a lot of noise and arguments. The room was nice size and comfy otherwise.

Convenient, clean, efficient, friendly. This is an excellent hotel. My only concern would be that during warmer temperatures, air conditioning is becoming more of a necessity than a luxury.
