Perfect location for a quick stop

This was exactly what I needed. I needed a hotel super close to the London St. Pancras train station for one night, so I could easily make it to the airport the next morning. This was about a 5 minute walk from the train station, which was great since it was dark and rainy. My room was actually across the street from the reception desk, and on the 3rd floor. They let me leave my big suitcase at the reception, so I could easily navigate the stairs. Small room, dark and quiet... just what I needed. I'd stay here again.

Ideal for single traveller business trip

Great location close to Kings Cross. If you’re on a business trip, the double en-suite rooms are ideal for a stay 1/2 days.

The rooms were clean and the reception staff was helpful! Very convenient location next to the underground station and plenty of dining/pub options nearby. The shower took a while for the water to heat up and the pillows were a bit flat but not a dealbreaker for me. Overall, I’d recommend this place to those who are looking for a reasonably priced place to stay for a short trip.

Property is in a great location, in room 15 you will hear the school on week days (single glazed windows) and trains passing but for us it wasn't an issue. Upgraded to an ensuite instead of shared bathroom which I didn't realise when I booked. Cost an extra £30 a night fyi. There's good heating but no Aircon so factor that in the summer for this room. Theres no fridge as it's quite small in 15 but has a nice patio area. As it's a basement level not sure if you will get any sun though.
