The property was lovely, all very clean and the bed was very comfortable. No lift, but for me not a problem, and no aircon but again not a problem for me as the shark fan was ample enough to keep me cool! Really great find in an excellent location - will definitely visit again!

We chose this accommodation as it was close to Kings Cross Railway station. We required 2 one night stays before and after a holiday. The hotel is in a perfect location clean and well presented. The room was a bit small but exactly what we required. Will use again. There are good local pubs with 5 mins who serve very good food.

We stayed here one night mostly because it was close to Kings Cross and many restaurants/shops. It was ideal for a quiet place to sleep and recoup. It was not fancy at all, but solid for the price. Staff was very helpful. We'd book again.
