I was staying for a couple of nights for convenient access to two places of work. Unfortunately what I really needed to do in the few hours I had between morning and evening jobs on the second day was sleep, which was the one thing this hotel was really not geared towards. Rooms are completely un-soundproofed. From banging outside which could have come from roadworks but felt like they were banging on the wall of the building, to footsteps stomping and babies crying upstairs, the room did not provide a peaceful environment to sleep during the day. It was fine at night time. The mattress was old and worn, the shower didn't have a proper mount so had to be hand held or angled upwards. Benefits were the 24/7 reception and very short walk to Kings Cross Station. I wouldn't call the price 'cheap', but it is Central London and the price was cheap compared to everywhere else.

Super tiny, no lifts, Don't bother.
The hotel has misleading pictures of the room. We were 3 people and it was size of a prison cell, supert tiny! It is uncomfortable even for one person, imagine three of us stayed in the room. Bathroom is very small. No lifts, we carried all the luggage up 3 victorian stairs. The hotel has no information whatsoever about this. The only saving grace was at least it wasn't dirty, else we would have just left. It was last couple of nights so we didn't bother looking for another hotel and also the booking was non refundable. Hotel.com should remove this hotel from the listing. I am surprised that this listing was allowed despite the fact that it purposefully hid the most basic info and pictures of the hotel and rooms. The only advantage is that it is literally couple of minutes from King's Cross station. But so are many more much better hotels! The most uncomfortable and tiniest room I ever stayed in! Just don't bother.

I am giving this property a 1-star review because Expedia listed "luggage storage" as an amenity, without mention of any additional charge, but the hotel insisted on a surcharge, and would not back down when I noted the Expedia description. Sometimes Expedia gets thing wrong, and the hotel can ask for a correction, but they should honor the services as listed when the reservation is made.
