I've stayed in many hotels in this area and thought this was excellent value for money. Super clean, ensuite toilet and shower, towels, in room coffee/tea and kettle, 24hr reception. You can easily pay twice as much in London for somewhere not as good!

Everything was good. The staff were friendly. The room was cleaned everyday. The only thing I would say is the park across the street is very active even at 3am, random people yelling throughout the night. Bring ear plugs to sleep.

Staff were pleasant, location is good for St Pancras. I had a top floor room in the rear, so quiet. It's all cheap and dated, and the quilt had cigarette burns. Seemed clean enough otherwise.

A small but comfortable single room on the top floor. It would have been nice to be provided with more than one towel though. Location is nice and quiet but it's very easy to hear other guests moving in and out of their rooms. A good place for a very short stay in central London.
