Fantastic location 5mins from St.Pancras, Kings Cross. In addition the property was clean, warm and quiet, and I appreciated being able to leave my bags for a few hours after check-out. Will gladly stay again.

The hotel booked me into the hotel next door owing to an unexplained issue. The European hotel next door was not of the same standard although I was still charged the same rate. This was incredibly poor customer service.

I stayed in a single room. Clean, but very small. I could hardly move around the bed. So was the toilet. Toilet door has no lock. Also, I could hear the slightest noise outside the room.

The hotel was clean and nice. We reserved a room that would accommodate three adults. The room was small (which was ok). The room was quite full of beds. Again this was ok but the potential lodger should be aware. The hotel is conveniently located near the Kings Cross underground and train stations.

We were a couple of friends going to a festival over the weekend and having to catch an early coach from Kings Cross. HW was the perfect location, 5 mins walk to catch the coach. Beds comfy, tea and coffee in room (not that we had time for that) and friendly welcoming staff. Dropping our bags off to catch the 8am coach was no problem at all. Great location for Kings Cross/St Pancreas.
