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.

Disliked: Cleanliness
I was quite disappointed with the condition of the room we stayed in. It turned out to be a basement room, which we were not informed of prior to our arrival. We had to carry our luggage down a narrow staircase, which was inconvenient and unexpected. Housekeeping attempted to enter our room on two consecutive days without knocking, which felt like a serious invasion of privacy. The worst part, however, was the awful smell coming from the bathroom—it was overwhelming and made me feel physically ill. We developed sore throats the following morning, which lingered during our stay but disappeared as soon as we left the hotel and the city. This raises serious concerns about the livability of the room and the overall health and safety standards of the hotel. I would strongly urge management to review these conditions with the unknown or known issues in the hotel.

The hotel is in a great location that’s only a short walk away from major train stations, & the staff is friendly, accommodating and very helpful! The rooms are quaint but well updated. Although the rooms are small, this is to be expected in Europe and they still had absolutely everything you need even for a longer term stay. We would absolutely book here again for the location convenience, but also the comfort of the hotel.

I was exhausted from my flight and train ride to Kings Cross, and was immediately greeted by the kindest front desk staff. It’s always nice to connect with people when arriving in a new place, and I appreciated the care that I was shown! The room was small and cozy - just what I needed as a solo traveler with jetlag. Everything was spotless clean and well taken care of. Great location if you’re arriving through the train station as it is literally right now the street. Was very appreciative of that. Thank you for a great stay!

Single room is basically a closet in the basement.

The hotel is in a great location and the staff was very nice. The room was so small. I’m not even sure it was legal sized. It wasn’t the cleanest, but it wasn’t the dirtiest I’ve ever stayed in either. It was just not a good value for the money that I paid.

We only stayed one night and everything was brilliant. Check-in was speedy and smooth. The room exceeded our expectations so clean with a comfy bed and lovely bed linen. Fantastic big towels and good quality shower gel. There are two minor gripes and I can't see how the hotel can do anything about them. We were on the lower floor and the staircase to get down is quite narrow and steep. The other thing that didn't bother us but might be something to consider is that we had a room for 3 for the two of us. If we had had more luggage I think it would have been a bit of a squeeze. Despite these tiny things we have already recommended the hotel to a few people.

Value for money

Very clean, comfy bed, friendly staffs. Super small room which is usually expected in an old building, by London standards. No lifts, just narrow stairs. It was value for money imo.

Booked a single room on Expedia at about 6pm on the same day. Arrived about midnight with a flat phone battery and they had no record of my booking. Had to charge my battery at reception to get my email to prove I had booked. Then told they had no rooms left. Eventually, after some discussion, they gave me a quadruple room for the night. After that the my night was ok, but I wouldn't risk booking here again.
