Unfortunately, I am confident bedding was not changed after previous guest departed. The sheets had body hair, did not look fresh at all. Table had stains. Clenaning is poor.

Chose this for proximity to train station. Small room. No elevator. Good bed. Wonderful staff. Had to carry suitcases up and down for storage. Fine if you just need a quick place to sleep.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel looked well maintained. As a solo traveller my room was very small but comfortable and enough for a night or two stay. The location not far from KIngs Cross was a bonus

Nice space, clean. When we arrived, the lady at the front desk was very helpful and accommodating… but when we were checking out, the guy at the desk was not good. Otherwise, a nice affordable place to stay near the train station.

Creaking floors in your room and you hear steps from above if you’re staying in the lower floors. Very thins walls, you’re able to hear people’s voices as well as all outside noise. The room is extremely tiny, not enough pictures to show how it really looks like. The shower smells bad when you first turn on the water and the head shower is very dirty, you are also able to hear every time the people above you flush their toilet. The only convenience is having the tube and international train station near by.

Lovely hotel but no lift
The hotel has no lift and although I had booked early and asked for as few steps as possible, I was put on the 2nd floor. Unfortunately the hotel was full however, I was offered a hand taking my luggage up but the stairs were difficult for me to negotiate given I have a painful knee

Spotless & well maintained with comfortable bed and good shower. The situation is ideal for transport within London and trains out. Only slight quibble would be that rooms are small

Would definitely stay again
This is a small hotel in an outstandingly convenient location in London - across from Kings Cross station. This makes it easy and inexpensive to reach from the airport and easy to go anywhere else in the city or country. The rooms are small (as expected) but clean and the staff was wonderful! The surrounding neighborhood had great dining and shopping as well.

It's a bit confusing checking in because you don't always get a room in the same building as where you check in. Walls and doors are extremely thin and you can hear everything around you within the building. Outside noise, not so much. Extremely close to King's Cross which is fantastic. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. All in all, it was a decent place for being so centrally located

Great location very close to St Pancras. Great for onward travel. Staff friendly and helpful. Beds clean and comfortable. Some areas of wear on bed frames and TV signal wasn’t the best on lower ground floor but great Wi-Fi connection. Kettle and hairdryer and en-suite shower all working well.

Small spaces; had to upgrade; there was a note in our room about the benefits (i.e. taxi service, discounts on attractions) ~ inquired with staff and they had NO CLUE. Tiny space for the money we spent. Noisy, disruptive neighbours. Only soap provided, no lotion or anything else. Won’t come back and I don’t suggest this hotel. Sorry, but we didn’t enjoy it. We think this is a converted AirBnB, claiming it’s a hotel. Do Better. 👎👎

If you are over 5 foot 6 inches the bed will be too small for you. The room is very tiny with limited space and should be avertised as such. Though it is in a convenient location to king's cross station and most walkable areas in London, the room and bathroom are just too tiny and uncomfortable to have a decent stay in. The staff however are very kind and accommodating as they the bathroom has a electrical shower unit and when it broke they were very quick to offer a vacant room for me to shower in.
