It was awesome onec we got moved to a room above ground and with AC. The bottom floor room was smaller, with no AC but was still nice. It was hard in the heat. The hotel accommodated us nicely. Highlight was the breakfast!

Such a lovely hotel. The staff are very friendly and loved that there is a bar. There’s an outdoor terrace but it was raining so couldn’t use it. Lovely room, nice and clean and a huge bathroom. Great spot for Kings Cross area, up a small side street opposite the station - would definitely stay again

Like the reviews say, lots of narrow steps. Room was small. But perfect for a day in London and being near train. Safe and clean.

Very small and spartan room but super convenient to St. Pancras/Kings Cross stations. Staff was very friendly. Stairs were a bit awkward with heavy bags so I wouldn't recommend for anyone who would find that a challenge. Value for price so no complaints.

Overall a good stay, staff were helpful and pleasant. Only thing I can think of for improvement would be the WiFi doesn’t work in the fourth floor but everywhere else is great. Just be aware that there is no elevator (staff are on hand to help with luggages if needed) but isn’t that part of the charm with boutique hotel.

We got upgraded to a room on the ground floor based on our luggage and the difficulty getting it to higher floors. This was so kind and thoughtful and we really appreciated this after our full day of travel. The staff were so accommodating and the room was perfect.

The only rooms with Air Conditioning are on the 4th floor. There is no elevator and no bellman, so you are on your own if you want AC.

Friendly and efficient check-in. We had a "small double" room which matched the description. We could get round both sides of the bed. The layout was compact but it had all that was required and comfortable. Close to St Pancras station which was good for us.

This hotel is an absolute find! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The room was great - very clean, comfortable bed and far bigger than I was expecting and the outdoor terrace was such a surprise for central London! The location is perfect for travelling from Kings Cross or St Pancras as both are only a few minutes walk away. I will definitely choose this hotel for my next business trip as it had everything I needed. Thanks to the staff for being so accommodating with a late check out (for a small fee).
