Great location with easy walking to Kings Cross and St Pancras stations. The reception staff were really friendly and helpful and stored our luggage overnight since we had an early train the following morning. Nice bar open 24/7 to residents and plenty of eating and drinking places in the area. Highly recommend.

I would stay here again. It's incredibly convenient to get to the station and from there anywhere. The hotel isn't a Ritz which is why it's so much cheaper but if you're looking for a place to sleep that's reasonably clean and well kept them this is it. The staff was very helpful when asked questions. They allow bag drop before your check in time which was super helpful.
