Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Well-located and reasonable value for money, but the property is rather tired, and a few small improvements would have made a big difference to the level of comfort - eg no bedside table or shelf on one side of the bed, lack of pegs and rails for coats/towels.

Rude staff. Couldn’t get clean towels much less a cleaned room. Brigitte at the front desk is ludicrously awful and the manager Joe is utterly inattentive. Don’t stay here.

We enjoyed our stay of 4 days. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The hotel is in a nice location, walkable to main London attractions and with great access to both the Underground and St. Pancras station. The area has many colleges and feels young and safe. Lots of dining options. Our room was fine for 3 people with sufficient electrical outlets but lacked a refrigerator which was disappointing. The bathroom was exceptionally small, almost like a cruise ship bathroom, but everything functioned and we made due.
