Older hotel, but in good condition, rooms were good size and clean, staff on the front desk were really friendly. Area around the hotel isn’t the nicest especially on an evening- it’s 8 minutes walk to King’s Cross, which was conceived for our early Eurostar.

Good value for money for this hotel very close to Kings Cross St Pancras. A little noisy because of the traffic unfortunately but difficult to avoid that in this district

Great location near to Kings Cross and St Pancras train stations. Decent sized room, clean, comfy and affordable - just what I needed for a 1-nights stay.

Though the double room I had was small but it was very comfortable and well designed. I found the room like being in the warm cuddle of my mum. I slept very well. My only criticism is that there is no room service or restaurant. And it is a walk to find this. But I would stay there again.

The room was super super tiny, no wardrobe or hair dryer. However we kind of figured it out before booking since the size info is listed anyway. Otherwise the room was clean, bed was comfortable and it was very conveniently located. There was coffee/tea available in the room as well as tv. It really was good enough for as for a few nights, we would probably stay here again. Receptionist was nice, easy online check in before arriving saved us some time:) Thank You

Great for one night. We have a small double room which was small and good for 1 night, my 6ft tall boyfriend struggled with the small room but we only booked 2 days before and there were no bigger rooms available.

It is a very small hotel and ideal if you need a place to rest/leave your things. It is near the train station and seems ideal if you are leaving early for the Eurostar. Good service, and near some good restaurants.

The hotel is clean and the ambience is also cozy. But the rooms are very narrow and the toilet sink is very small
