This was our 2nd stay in May, being only a few minutes walk from the Eurostar terminal. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean and comfortable, although on the small side. The shower was good. We enjoyed the bar, open to late!

Great and welcoming staff. Check-in was very quick considering I only booked 30mins in advance. It's very conveniently located 2mins walk from Kings Cross station. The room is very small, but for a 1 night stay, it's more than enough.

Great location with easy walking to Kings Cross and St Pancras stations. The reception staff were really friendly and helpful and stored our luggage overnight since we had an early train the following morning. Nice bar open 24/7 to residents and plenty of eating and drinking places in the area. Highly recommend.
