Liked: Staff & service
While it was good value, the hotel could have easily made itself much better with just a bit of work on the bathrooms and decor. Also being on the 3rd floor with a large suitcase on those small stairs is an accident waiting to happen. It was also very noisy. I understand being in the heart of London and great location, but even for the price I paid I would expect slightly more. Not recommended unless you are young and just using the hotel for a bed

About 1 min walking from King’s Cross station. Room and communal areas very clean. Good heating. Negatives: Narrow, wobbly stairs. Flat pillow. Toilets do not have a sink but there is a sink in your room. Thin walls so you can hear everyone around you in their rooms.

How to build a hotels I've stayed in this area this hotel needs updating it is really old versioned and even the rooms are tired and old and there is no lifts or disability access for those reasons it should be much lower in price as it is not worth the price

Great place to stay in London: safe, clean, quiet, convenient, and affordable. Just across the street from the train station and there are consequently a lot of options for food in the area (some are open late as well if you struggle with jetlag like I did the first couple nights). Any day-to-day essentials you might need will be no more than a 10 minute walk away. I will definitely stay here again I am ever on another solo trip in London. What a wonderful experience!

Property was reasonably clean and located close to King's Cross station. Not a nice area to stay, one of the shabbiest in London. Very noisy all day and most of the night. My room was small and had very few comforts. Up 4 flights of steep stairs so no use unless you are pretty fit. The whole area is one big building site

Basic at best
Bed sheets clean and beds relatively comfortable. Location very good and not too noisy. Room and whole hotel very basic and hasnt been decorated since 60s, maybe?! Room tiny and very hot and stuffy. Ensuite aweful! Lots of mould and mildew, not clean at all. Shower head diagusting, yellow mould all over! Cheapest in area we could find for 3, but still massively overpriced and wish I spent £75 more for premier Inn!
