Room was clean, staff were helpful, and the location was exactly what I wanted. If you end up with a room on the top floor like me then be prepared to take your luggage up a few flights of narrow stairs.

Pleasant and helpful staff. Room was quite small and hotel was showing a bit of wear and tear but good enough for an affordable family stay only a few paces from Kings Cross.

The smallest room I’ve ever stayed in in London. Clean but noisy - some industrial aircon blasting outside the window. €250 a night is a rip off.

Great location and fine for a short stay, we had a basement room so could hear the tubes underneath us but wasn’t too annoying. I’d definitely come back and stay here

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Room comfort
A nice clean room, but the bed was quite high off the ground, so my wife found it difficult to get onto. The shower over the bath was good and powerful, but the towels to dry yourself with were a bit like large postage stamps. There was a kettle and hairdryer, but no fridge. The room was too small for the bed. There was about six inches of space to get around the bed, bùt the tv was on the wall, meaning one had to lean forward whilst stepping sideways to get around. The space available was further reduced by a tall mirror on a hook with legs that I accidentally kicked whilst trying to squeeze past.

Lovely location to stay in
