The room was very small but cosy, it had everything needed to sleep and have a shower. Take into account there is no elevator. Walls are thin so it’s easy to hear the neighbours’ noise. The hotel is very conveniently located near the train station, in a nice street in front of a park. The staff is kind and friendly.

Mouse droppings?

All was good, everything looked clean, tidy and cozy. Although, Im convinced I was woken up at 2:30am in the morning to a mouse in the room as I was hearing the bin bag being rustled, but i didn't see anything. Chalked it off to gravity initially pulling something in the bin, but checked around in the morning and did find mouse dropping on the floor. I was on the bottom floor so Im not sure if they got in easily. Didn’t mention anything on checkout as I thought I was overthinking it, but I regret it now after thinking it over.

Overall, for the price and proximity to public transport, can’t beat it. There were some beard hairs still in the sink when I checked in, but the rest was very clean. The walls are THIN, so probably not the place for any light sleepers.

The property has been fairly recently developed so the furnishings are modern and everything is new, neat and clean. My room was in the basement, which I didn't love, as the view out of the window was of a yard and staircase that really needed painting, but at least there was a window, which basement rooms don't always have. Considering you are so close to Kings Cross, the area is very quiet and as a solo female traveller, I felt quite safe. London hotel rooms are ridiculously priced at the moment and this was at the more reasonable end of the scale. The room itself was tiny but that didn't matter as it had everything I needed (ensuite, kettle, tea/coffee, biscuits!, toiletries), somewhere to hang clothes, somewhere to sit. Breakfast was available for £7.99 but I didn't have it so can't comment on that. I stayed two nights and the towels were changed for the second day, which I didn't feel was necessary, so the hotel could save themselves some time and money there, as well as helping the environment. I recommend the hotel and would stay again.
