Stayed in a double room en suite before early start to St Pancras for Eurostar. It’s not going to win any design awards but it was absolutely perfect for requirements. Clean sheets and room, hot water, plenty of plug sockets, comfy bed and friendly staff behind the desk. Best of all was how close it was to St Pancras. Less than a 5 minute walk. There are steps to the entrance and also to rooms so please be aware of that. Will definitely stay here again if getting early train.

I was greeted at reception by a really lovely receptionist who went out of his way to help. I was in the cheapest of the rooms they do and it was really good value for money. I would definitely stay here again

Simple hotel but clean. I'll be back! I enjoyed my stay overall. I think management should try to do something to silent the noise from slamming doors.

Great location with easy access to the tube and inter city rail lines. Beware, there is no elevator. My room was up 54 stairs on the 3rd floor so don't stay here if that is a problem for you.

Old out of date hotel. Needs gutting and starting again. Sharing showers and toilets are a thing of the past. They crammed as many rooms in to make profit which was not put back into the property
