The accommodation had a musky smell which was being masked by air freshners in the hallway and room. The room was clean enough. Could do with freshing up the decor (white wash) as the walls and skirting are dirty looking. The shower needs a fresh seal and mould in the bathroom needs addressing. Room 6!

Nice enough hotel.

A nice enough place. Friendly staff, great location. Five minutes from Kings Cross station, underground and bus routes. Yet, surprisingly quiet during my stay. Clean and tidy room, but a bit small for me, especially toilet/shower/sink crammed into a really small space.

Poor hotel

Had to wait outside and ring bell for access to the hotel. No answer. If cold or wet it would be much more of a drama. Called the hotel no. Which rang and rang. Eventually answered and told the receptionist was out and would return soon. It was the same chap who left as we arrived, but he didn't think to let us in while he popped out. Tiny, tiny double room. One sided access to bed. Extremely small bathroom. Couldn't access or exit the shower if someone on the loo or using the basin. Smell outside reception from loos. Stair treads narrow and rather dangerous. Whole place feels really cramped and a bit of a dangerous place if there was a fire. Plug in room wouldn't accept a plug. Not satisfactory at all, even for £67 odd quid.

I originally planned to stay here for two days, but the first day's living experience was too poor and I went to stay elsewhere the next day. There is no elevator, the stairs are very narrow, the guest rooms are small, and as soon as you enter the room, there is a strong smell of disinfectant, and the sound insulation is not very good

The property needs upgrading. The corridor so tiny, difficult move wirh luggage. No waiting area. The room not spacious. Need for effort on cleanliness. The good side of the property is that it is close to amenities and about 5 minutes walk to KingsCross station.

Responsive reception, basic facilities.

I booked last minute as had flown in for a meeting which was delayed until the evening. All I needed was a bed, a bathroom and warmth, since external temperatures were heading towards zero. On reaching the room on the second floor via a narrow staircase, I had my doubts about the latter. The radiator was not working in the room, although the one on the landing outside was warm. I noticed a fan heater in the room. There was a single, fairly thin, duvet. Somewhat perturbed, I approached the gentleman at reception. He acknowledged that the radiator was not working, hence the provision of fan heater. I asked if another duvet could be provided and he said that one would be available when I returned. He was as good as his word. I slept well, comfortably and warmly. The other facilities were basic. Tea, coffee, kettle and biscuits were provided. On one wall socket, the top pin seemed to be damaged. Clean towels were provided. I left on good terms with reception.

The room was tiny, think cruise ship but smaller. The room was cold and had no thermostat. Black mold in a shower that was so small, no way could you bend down to soap up. The bathroom sink was beyond small. The bed was a single, double bed even though the website said it would have 2 beds. The staff was friendly

It was the day before election day in the US and I had no way of printing and filling out my ballot to upload it until the host told me she could print it, wait for me to fill it out, use the scan app on her iPhone, and email the documents to me to help me out. This is above and beyond in hospitality services.
