This is a good place to stay if you need a bed and sleep. (ideal if you have to wake up early and get to the eurostar.) The rooms are tiny and again that is just fine when you need a place to drop your stuff and go and experience the rest of the world. The staff are alway pleasant.

Nice welcome on arrival and helped carry bags. Room detailed as 'Superior' double which left a little room for imagination due to it being quite small but was clean, decent bed, air conditioning and was at the back of the hotel so no road noise. Overall, great if you want to be very close to Kings Cross/St Pancras stations as we did. Price was very competitive so would definitely use again due to location and overall hotel standard.

This hotel is very centrally located and only a short walk from King’s cross station. The room was small but well laid out as there was space under the bed to stow your bags. The budget double room would be better suited for one person and not two people but the location of the hotel, the friendly staff and clean rooms made up for the size of the room. Would recommend.

Spotlessly clean, helpful staff, very convenient for station. However, it was impossible to sleep due to the noise from other guests and from traffic on the street. There should be building modifications to deal with the unbearable noise, frankly. It ruined our stay. The rooms are also very compact.

Very clean room, good area close to King’s Cross/St Pancras station, reception staff were brilliant. Room was booked as a small double so I knew what I was expecting but still rather small with the bed pushed against the wall which isn’t ideal for when it is 2 people sharing but grand for 1 or 2 nights! Only down side was that the luggage storage was just leaving your bags/suitcases in the reception, where I believe it would benefit from a locker system for peace of mind. Overall would definitely stay again.

We stayed in the hotel for one night as we had a flight to catch the following day. The staff were very friendly and made us feel really welcome and although the room was small it was very clean and very comfortable. The room didn't need to be any bigger for our needs. The hotel was also in a great location very close to Kings Cross station and near some lovely bars and restaurants. My wife and I wiukd definitely stay in this hotel again.
