The accommodation was in the perfect location for kings cross. A couple minutes from the station. There was a delay with checking in but these things happen. The staff were lovely and kept our bags for us while we went to explore whole waiting to check in. The room was nice, it had a double bed, a sofa bed and a single, on suite and small kitchen area. It was great for overnight but If staying for longer the lack of an area to hang out would become an issue and the sofa bed was a little hard. Decorating was nice but marks on the wall could do with a touch up with some paint in areas again nothing dramatic. Id stay again for the price. It was a warm and comfortable overnight stay in a great location.

It was really really really hot, there weren’t any staff around to help us other than some guy sat at a desk 24 hours doing his own stuff, the bathroom bin hadn’t been emptied and the tap in the sink in room 41 was literally coming off of the sink. It’s a good place to stay if you’re coming in and out and really really convenient (2 minutes from Kings Cross station). Not a lot of room, could barely fit two people in the room but it had a tea set, body wash, towels, a hair dryer and a TV provided.

Superior ground floor suite

Sadly, I didn’t read the reviews before booking but was seduced by the photos. The reality was unfortunately far from the promise. If you read other reviews you won’t be surprised at how shabby the rooms are. What confuses me more is the establishment know about the problems but as far as I can tell have done nothing to at least try to rectify the issues. It’s such a shame because the location is perfect for onward travel. I can’t imagine spending any length of time there, thankfully my friends and I spent just one night. The room was given a cursory clean, the mattresses lumpy and uncomfortable, the tv didn’t work, wallpaper was peeling, the curtain was half off it’s rail, the courtyard shared area had rubbish and an old towel left outside. It was very hard to find a positive and I just wish they would employ someone to sort out the issues and care about what they are providing. Be warned… do your homework, I certainly will in the future!

Expedia forgot to mention that this building doesn’t have a lift. We received a room at the 3rd floor taking very steep and narrow stairs. No chance to escape a fire,God forbid! The room is very small, the heating didn’t work so we had to use the hairdryer to heat the room and it smell terrible of chlorine. If you have a certain age or reduce mobility do not book this hotel
