Perfect hotel for a short stay! I needed a room for an overnight stay so booked a single room. The room was small but perfect for what I needed. It was very clean and I felt safe, comfortable and had a good nights sleep. Only a five minute walk from King’s Cross and Staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

When I arrived to check in the receptionist just continued there phone call (it clearly wasn’t a customer call). I’m not overly worried by this, it’s annoying, especially as I was tired but the big problem came next. Finally he gives me a room key, I go to the room, someone is already using that room. I go back, he spends ages faffing around trying to figure out what went wrong while I’m tired waiting for a room, calls his boss to find out what’s happened and to ask what room I can go in - all while I wait, instead of just giving me any available room. I find the whole thing concerning, how can they give a key to a room someone else is already in. It’s a huge danger. I then was worried the rest of the night someone random might come into my room, I had the suitcase wedged between the door and the bed. At check out the receptionist barely said anything, didn’t ask how my stay was and when I asked about luggage storage just said I can leave it in the reception, no tags or security. I’ve used the hotel a number of times before but never again. It no longer feels safe.

The hostel staff were friendly, helpful and professional. At first the area around the property looked a little sketchy, but just down the street are two VERY popular asian restaurants, an Italian restaurant, and around the corner, there is a very popular Vietnamese Restaurant. Smokers are a dirty lot and leave their butts on the sidewalks and it makes the area look dirty. The sidewalk in front of the hostel should be swept more often. Inside the hostel, everything was nice and clean.

On arrival. There was no one on reception. Waited about 3 minutes and someone came to greet us. We had arrived 1 hour before check in. I asked reception if the room was ready. They said it was and if I wanted to go in early, then they would charge me £10. I declined and asked if I could leave my cases somewhere safe so I could go out and have a walk round. They said I could leave it in the hallway with the other cases lined up. I declined this because they had been left unattended when I arrived. Someone could have easily walked in off the street and taken a case. We decided to wait the hour until we could get into the room. Whilst we were waiting, my husband asked if there was a toilet he could use, they said there wasn’t only the one in our room which we could not get in until 3pm. The bedroom was the smallest double bedroom I have ever stayed in! The double bed was pushed up against the wall and the length of the room was the size of the bed! When opening the door to enter the room, it caught the corner of the bed. Once in the room, there was not enough space for 2 people to stand up and open the case. We had to store the cases under the bed. The bathroom was very small. When using the toilet, your legs were under the hand basin. The only 2 things I would say which are positive is that the bed was comfortable and the small shower was powerful.
The double room which is £200 for the night!
Small bathroom. Could hardly move.
I think this is shocking! I certainly would need more than a cup of coffee for a 5 star rating! What an insult!

The people at the front desk were nice and friendly. The room was clean but small. I wasn't able to sleep well for a few nights due to the noises outside the hotel. The housekeeping service needs to do a better job in providing amenities because a facial towel and a shower floor mat were not given to us after the cleaned our room for the second time during our stay.
