Quick check in. Really professional and efficient service from Abu at Reception. Room very nice and exactly as requested. Needed sheet and duvet for sofa bed - this was provided within three minutes of request. Quiet, comfortable beds and good two nights sleep. Really good price compared with local, similar hotels. I’d stay again without hesitation.

Standard wear and tear - broken door lock and a very squeaky bed frame. But the room and the property were very clean. Staff was courteous but seemed entirely unprepared for the rush of Easter weekend and we waited in line at least 15 minutes to check in. This is a great location half way between Blackfriars and Kings Cross - just take the bus!

The room was clean. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom had a frosted glass door which was a bit awkward if you needed to use the bathroom during the night. I did appreciate the housekeeping staff. They helped us out after my daughter was vomiting due to a migraine. All in all, it was a good hotel.

Location great for purpose of trip near King’s cross. Did not like that room doesn’t have safety latch on inside of room. No one at front desk or housekeeping answers phone. Shower drain didn’t work so we had to set up a makeshift device so water can drain. Lotion was empty. All in all room did not appear ready for guests.
