I always stay here - close enough for everything I need, far enough from the main road to be quiet for a good night sleep - rooms are always clean and the staff are always lovely, so can't really ask for much more

The place is a little gem in Kings cross. The staff is amazing, very attentive and kind. Easy checkin, they have a lift. comfortable beds. Room was very warm. I have stayed here before and this place never disappoints. If you are looking for something central at good price. This is where you should stay.

Cheap and to be expected, 5 minutes from Kings Cross, good. Staff ok, cleaners friendly. Warning that the lift was out of action for our stay. Room was tiny, and cramped, couldn't get around foot of bed, and in need - like most of London - of a decent refresh. tB fine but so little room. Shower only, bathroom again tiny, if functional. Nice to be able to leave bags on last day, but anyone could have gone in, said "I have a bag left" and wandered out with whatever. Front desk staff didn't care.
