Shower sprayed more water on the ceiling, than actually on me. You had to wedge yourself on the toilet, due to proximity of sink. No mention of how small the room was when booked. Reception staff not the most friendly/welcoming. I won’t be staying again. For the price paid it definitely wasn’t value for money!

The room and hotel was incredibly clean but the bed and room beyond a joke in size. You could only get in one side of the bed and climb over each other to get to the toilet or go to bed. Also had to breathe in to stand at the sink with privacy in the shower. Now small is small and I must say it had all the conveniences - amazingly well thought out but when I accepted small it wasn't thinking it was like that.
No room to move on three sides of the bed.

Very small room (<90 sq ft) for the price I paid. Twin bed, ensuite bathroom (shower, tiny sink that you had to squeeze around and under to get to the toilet) - but very newly refurbished and clean. Would have rated it very good if that were a choice. Couldn't give it an excellent because of the price per sq ft ratio, and the shower was very hard to figure out the controls on it, and the risk of scalding was high. The smaller shower head could not be raised up because the fitting was broken and it would just slide back down. A/C unit worked fine and a plus was that the room had two small windows one could open for fresh air. Staff was VERY helpful and although there are about 5 or 6 steps to get into the place, the floors themselves are served by lifts. Very close to King's Cross so I'd definitely stay there again.
No luggage holder, so you must use the bed. Note proximity of sink to toilet.

Bare bones accommodation. REALLY small rooms, no mini fridges in the room, no utensils at the front desk, etc. staff was nice and did what they could do but helpful where possible. And It’s cheap and a modern build so decent accommodation. And hey they give you a couple water bottles and tea bags in the room.

Perfect hotel for a short stay! I needed a room for an overnight stay so booked a single room. The room was small but perfect for what I needed. It was very clean and I felt safe, comfortable and had a good nights sleep. Only a five minute walk from King’s Cross and Staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

When I arrived to check in the receptionist just continued there phone call (it clearly wasn’t a customer call). I’m not overly worried by this, it’s annoying, especially as I was tired but the big problem came next. Finally he gives me a room key, I go to the room, someone is already using that room. I go back, he spends ages faffing around trying to figure out what went wrong while I’m tired waiting for a room, calls his boss to find out what’s happened and to ask what room I can go in - all while I wait, instead of just giving me any available room. I find the whole thing concerning, how can they give a key to a room someone else is already in. It’s a huge danger. I then was worried the rest of the night someone random might come into my room, I had the suitcase wedged between the door and the bed. At check out the receptionist barely said anything, didn’t ask how my stay was and when I asked about luggage storage just said I can leave it in the reception, no tags or security. I’ve used the hotel a number of times before but never again. It no longer feels safe.
