Think this is the third or fourth time I’ve stayed. Incredible location for this needing quick access to St Pancras or Euston. Staff are lovely, check in always great. Rooms are clean, only small downside is bathrooms are tiny , but if it’s just a one night / two night it’s manageable. Theres a beautiful small street about 30 seconds away with a lovely cafe! A really treat in such a busy part of London. Area is at Pancras and Euston so extremely busy but sadly that comes with a lot of homeless and drug users. Never had a problem but I’ve never been by myself late at night there.

Great little room

Great little room, exactly what we needed for one night. It wasn't a massive room, but we knew that when booking. I'd say fine for a weekend but any longer you'd want more room. Toiletries smelt amazing, room was fresh, clean, comfortable and the added touch of a coffee machine was appreciated in the morning!

The hotel is no frills with a fun atmosphere—exactly what I expected for the price and location. It was loud the night I arrived and rather busy, but the room was relatively quiet. What earns this hotel four star ratings is the bed, pillows and linens, which are plush and unbelievably comfortable.

Exceeded Our Expectations!

It’s always nice when a hotel surprises you and exceeds expectations. We loved our stay at the memoire club, check in staff were very friendly and more than happy to hold our luggage for us. The room was a big surprise as I’d seen a few people complain about the room size but for central London at this price point we thought the room size was more than adequate. The room also had some great features with a huge smart TV (Apple TV), coffee machine, safe. The bed was really comfortable and we both had a great nights sleep. The hotel has clearly undergone a recent huge renovation and is now finished to a great modern standard. We would book again in a heartbeat for our next trip down to London 👍

While we were only there to sleep after exploring the city, the room was quiet small. Our luggage was a struggle to maneuver in and around the room. The temperature control in the room was temperamental. The complimentary bottles of water were nice. There were plenty of outlet plugs and the house cleaning staff was top notch.
