Good value first stay. Good bed and shower.

Really impressed with my first trip. I was in a room without windows which made it nice and dark and quiet for a good night's sleep. Shower was good. Lamps for reading and kettle in the room with good quality PG tips T bags. Friendly staff. Helpful pre stay information by email was clear. £25 deposit preauthorisation taken automatically and refunded promptly.

Great for conf at Business Design Center (BDC)

I was attending Quantum Commercializing conference at Business Design Center (BDC) 52 Upper St, this is an excellent location for that type of trip, 20 min walk. The room is small but has everything you need comfortable bed, modern decor, TV, full bathroom, small desk, kettle, I was comfortable here. Friendly Receptionist - Vidi, she was very accomodating. 10 min walk to subway, great location. I will definitely stay again, highly recommended.

5 AM Skylight, 6 AM Fire Alarm - Tiny but Chic

Booked the “cosy” category and got a designer shoebox. No windows; instead, a skylight is parked right above the bed, so daylight barges in at 05:30 whether you like it or not. At 06:00 the fire alarm chimed in, turning my early-morning stretch into an impromptu evacuation drill. Coffee never felt so deserved. The good news: everything inside that tiny footprint is quality. Mattress firm, linens crisp, enough outlets for a tech junkie, and the bathroom fixtures feel more boutique than budget. AC kept things comfortable, and because the room’s buried in the building it’s whisper-quiet - no street noise, no corridor chatter. The trade-offs: zero natural ventilation (you’ll rely on the AC 24/7) and obviously no view unless you count a patch of morning sky. Storage is Tetris-level minimal, so travel with a capsule wardrobe or be prepared to live out of your suitcase. Bottom line: great crash-pad if you rise with the sun or just need a clean, stylish base to sleep and shower. If you’re claustrophobic, cherish a lie-in, or want to gaze wistfully out a window, spring for an upgraded room - or another hotel.

Older hotel, but in good condition, rooms were good size and clean, staff on the front desk were really friendly. Area around the hotel isn’t the nicest especially on an evening- it’s 8 minutes walk to King’s Cross, which was conceived for our early Eurostar.
