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.

Cannot recommend this hotel enough! Stayed here multiple times now. Always check if this is available before I book anywhere else. Literally a 2 minute walk from St Pancras, but located in a quiet square over looking a park. Perfectly clean and everything i needed for a bloke staying on his own in London for 3 nights. 100% will be back! Thank you 😊

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 helpful and polite front desk staff and house keeping staff. Nice and tidy room. But toilet (only one) between two floors (6 rooms in total) and shower room on the other floor, shared between the same number of room. Unfortunately, there was a lot Constrcution work in front of the property which made the stay quite noisy during day time and basketball court right in front of my room made it no less noisy throughout the day. Bed was not comfortable unfortunately. Chair in the room was wonky and probably one of the cheapest I’ve seen but I have no complaints in the front desk trying to accommodate like with extra pillow or iron etc.

Very handy, close to station

Stop before getting early Eurostar. Hotel staff very friendly, room clean and comfortable but dated and mould around shower. Could hear everything from surrounding rooms but I did find the bed comfortable and so close to station. I will stay again but bringing earplugs.
