Not worth the price
Just not worth the money — there are better, CLEANER, more secure options. The peep hole in the door was punched out and at loo roll stuck through to block it. Door lock didn’t really feel like it would keep out a strong knock. Shower didn’t drain. Only plus is that someone answered the phone when I rang up at 9pm needing the code to get in.

Weekend stay for two
Good location. For london the room was a good size. On top floor which meant we could leave windows open as so hot. Place a little dated but clean. Nice to have fridge & tea marking facilities. Bed base ripped & in poor condition.

Horrible Stay!!!
The only good thing about this hotel was that we were in a good location. The service here was terrible. Our key suddenly stopped working, which meant we couldn’t get into our room or even the hotel. We tried called them, but they didn’t answer. I even had the hotel next door, the shop next door, and my dad call them. They finally answered an hour later but were super rude to us. Don’t bother calling the number for emergency because they won’t answer you. The room was filthy, it was like nobody cleaned it. There was hair everywhere and the smell was puke inducing. This was a horrible choice, we are never stepping a foot near here ever again.

Great location, close ti russell square and kings cross so easy to get back to late at night. We had a large room in the basment so was lovely and cool at night. Large shower, fridge and coffee maker in room. Only downsides were that the shower head didn't fit properly into the holder, but it was still useable. Also the bathroom door was a slide across one and ofetn got stuck. But otherwise the room itself was great and wouldn't put me off staying there due to the size of the room.

The property is in an ideal location, very close to Euston train station and has some really good places to eat, drink and shop close by. We had breakfast at the Sandwich Street Kitchen which was out of this world, highly recommended. The accommodation is starting to look dated but is clean and in a quiet location. The staff are amazing, very friendly and took our cases in to our rooms on arrival. It was also handy to have luggage storage available as we needed to check out by 10am but our train was 6pm, which meant we could leave them there and spend the day in London. All in all a good experience and would stay there again.

I found the self check in entry difficult, the small vestibule was very awkward & too small, struggled to get in with just my 1 suitcase. Other than that the room was fine, a little noisy at times from people moving about, but the bed & pillows were comfy enough for a decent sleep.
