Horrible rooms- super small and dirty. Even the cleaning ladies didn’t do much at all. The rooms were so tiny I barely had space to walk and the one tiny window didn’t open. Horrible staff- rude and didn’t help me with my 3 suitcases up 3 floors on tiny stairs as there was no elevator. They were annoyed when I asked for a different room which was worse than the original. Good location though as it’s close to the station but never again.

Welcoming and friendly staff, tiny but clean bedroom. Only thing is about the big and noisy construction project nearby. The rest was perfect.

So convenient to St Pancras. Only needed a stop over for a few hours before an early Eurostar. Staff on front desk very friendly and helpful. Bedding very clean.

I got a room that is next to the side walk and can hear people while they’re passing. You can hear the bang of the doors while sleeping and people talking out loud. For 1 night stay it’s ok I should say.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean but rather small. Construction going on in the park accross the street was a bit loud during the day, but the location is easy access to the Train Station. Overall very good for the price.

This hotel is beautiful and good for my stayday I need. I spent four nights in this hotel, which is very good location near to King's Cross Station. It is the hotel where everything I need, which is sleep take a shower, rest and go out to again.

Stay away at all costs. Disgraceful. Broken bed, hot water tap didn’t work, no hot water and the staff didn’t care. In fact they continued to take bookings knowing they had no hot water. Never had a worse place than this in my life.

The stairs were poorly lit and very narrow. The treads were missing on some. The electric points in the room were dangerous. Only one in each pair worked - there was a distinct ‘crackle’ when a plug was inserted in the second. The room was tiny. The bed width probably only 4ft. It’s only benefit was the proximity to the station for and early train.

We chose this hotel because it is close to St Pancras where we had to check in at 7am on the Sunday. A good average for what we needed. It was unfortunate that someone made a loud noise in the corridor at 3.15am.Not much the hotel can do about that, but it did make for an unnecessarily early wakeup call. If many guests are staying to take early trains, it would be good if breakfast started earlier than 7am. Only 2 stars for property condition since the shower control was missing a vital part, and therefore no shower available.

The room serves its purpose for a room to sleep, shower and use the toilet. But a room for 3 people felt very cramped. We only had 2 plugs available for the kettle and a personal charger, also there was a lamp located in a corner with no plug sockets, so it felt like an ornament rather than a useful source of light (room main light had no lampshade either). Room smelt damp, moldy in parts, TV was tiny and not in a good location for all to watch TV, and the single bed definitely needs replacing. First time I've gone to a hotel where you had to hand your key over if you left the building and then collect upon arrival. I'm a cautious person when it comes to London and this could increase potential theft if the keys in the wrong hands, luckily theres a safe in the room so best to utilise that just in case, and this key system could cause potential miscommunication of thinking you've "checked out". It is expected to always be expensive in London but paying over £500 for 3 nights is daylight robbery. But still a cheap hotel than most if you're on a budget. Bring ear plugs if you struggle to sleep as you can hear all doors closing and conversations during the night.
