The wonderful Lina helped me with my esim and made me feel so welcome. The chap on checkout was super helpful too. Such a nice quiet location, yet so close to st pancreas and an amazing french bakery around the corner. Look forward to my next stay.

Convenient for St Pancras.

Close to St Pancras and Euston stations. 10 minute walk. Room was small but comfortable and the shower was great. We had a front basement room which I would not recommend because there was a lot of noise throughout the evening. It didn’t help that the temperature had been 25C so we needed the window open.

Walkable to King’s Cross, close to Theatre District. Rooms are tiny, but very clean and comfy. No a/c or fan, but the window provided a breeze. A very comfortable stay.

Before i made the payment for the hotel, they said I could book it the same night. It was around 8pm - 2am from 2nd April - 3rd April. I paid for it only to be given confirmation that it was for 2pm to the next day 3rd April to 4th. They said due to it being non refundable they won’t pay my refund. The thing is if you’re going to say it’s for the same night then honour your part of the contract instead of changing the times after I paid for the room. That’s not how contracts works. If it’s at a set date as agreed on the contract then it should be as it is. Not such that you change what’s on the contract after it as decided without me involved. I demand my money back. It was ridiculous

Ask for a ground floor as no lift

The room was small and on the top floor with no assistance with our lugguage which was disappointing. The hotel is in a convenient location - close to St Pancras. Staff not overly welcoming either, but it was a place to rest our head and it was clean and had everything you needed for a short stay.

The hotel is close to the King’s Cross and St Pancras International station so that’s was very convenient for us since we went to Paris after London and we left from the St Pancras Station.

Nice hotel with friendly staff

Nice little room only hotel with very friendly staff on duty 24 hrs. Close to King Cross and St Pancras stations and not far from Coal Drops Yard with lots of places to eat or drink. There is no lift in this accommodation and if you’re in a 4th floor room it’s a bit of a climb, particularly with luggage. Rooms were clean and tidy with a lovely little wet room. Nice and quiet and would definitely use this hotel again.
