Small hotel close to Eurostar train station, and the metro station. Basic accommodation, the room was a bit small, but appropriate for the price. But was a bit surprised they charged for luggage storage on checkout day.

We stayed for 2 nights. We had 2 rooms with ensuite bathroooms, one which was much smaller than the other despite paying the same price. The rooms were clean and the showers were hot, so served our purpose. The rooms were a little dated and could do with a refurbishment. The staff were friendly, pleasant and very helpful. We don't come to London much, but if we did we would use the hotel again.

Very convenient and good value

Very convenient if you want a place by Kings Cross. I took a small single room with en-suite at a very reasonable price and that is exactly what I got. As a plus the staff were extremely friendly. If you are simply looking for a good value overnight stay in a very convenient location then this is your place.

A decent room for a decent price

I was looking for a decent but not too expensive room for my short stay and this hotel - very close to King Cross - was perfect for it. Don't expect a 5 star room but if you want to be in center of London and have a ggod night sleep it is perfect for it.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was nice, but the beds were uncomfortable and the breakfast didn't have a whole lot of options and was $15 a day for breakfast. It is close to Kings Cross so it was nice for convenience and McDonalds was right next to Kings Cross so if you wanted a larger Varity for breakfast you could just go there.

The whole place needs to be brought into the modern era. Carpets were dirty looking and old. Bed may have had fleas as I started itching all over after sitting on it for a few minutes resulting in a 8”x 6” area of bites. The shower curtain was not waterproof and the drapes need to be replaced or at least ironed. No one was available to carry my large suitcase upstairs.

Decent for an affordable hotel. I was able to store my luggage in a reception hall before check in, and I mostly stayed in my room once i checked in. The floor was rather worn in my room and had chips in the planks. The bed was fine, but the room was quite dusty. I could hear conversations in nearby rooms and snoring from other guests. Be aware that the hotel is very close to Kings Cross, and so there was much noise from local construction and musicians near the station. Checking in and out went smoothly, and the paid breakfast was adequate.

Great stay

I had a great stay - the hotel is very well located for Kings X, Camden, Covt Garden etc and great rail/tube connections. I really enjoyed the stay - the staff were super helpful but bear in mind that you get what you pay for, i.e. you are not staying at the Savoy ;-) I would definitely stay at this hotel again.
