The hotel was exactly as I required. Within a few minutes walk from Kings Cross Station, in a quiet location, later in the day. The room was clean, tidy and comfortable. The staff member on duty was helpful in giving me directions for the area and my onward travel.

Very lovely stuff. The only downside is that there was no elevator, but it's just the building's style. I also didn't pay attention when I booked the room. I booked a room with a common bathroom and toilet. So pay attention when booking, make sure you are taking the right option for you. Overall very clean, very good stuff. And it was close to all main touristic attractions. Many bus stops and the Underground nearby.

Great little hotel

A great little hotel only a few minutes walk from King’s Cross / St Pancras stations so it’s a great location for exploring London. Friendly and helpful staff, quiet location and a comfortable bed made my stay very enjoyable.

Perfect for my requirements as a solo traveller just passing through. Close to kings cross/st Pancras. Room was smallish yet fine for a short stay. Tv worked fine. Kettle and tea/coffee. Small en-suite, again fine for me. More importantly it was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the shower worked really well which is a bonus when travelling.
