Great location, great staff and a decent basic clean room that was comfortable. Good value for the cheap price I paid. Only issue is the walls are so thin you can hear everything from the neighbouring rooms and the street is busy so you get a lot of traffic noise if you are on the front. Take earplugs even if you are a deep sleeper

This is a great option in a very expensive city for people looking for a place that has a clean room to sleep and a clean bathroom in an excellent location. The standouts were definitely the friendliness and kindness of the staff. They were eager to help whenever we needed anything and made our stay very enjoyable.

This was a cheap and clean place to stay in London a 5 minute walk from King's Cross station. It was functional, nothing fancy but we all slept like logs even though the beds were on the soft side. The shower had terrible pressure but wasn't expecting much. We would stay here again if cost is a factor on our next trip to London.
