This was great for us, location very close to Kings Cross, perfect for an overnight stay. The room was small but clean and fine for a short stay. The staff were very friendly, all good.

Perfect budget hotel for the price. Clean comfortable bed and, while the shower is a bit tight, it’s plenty powerful and hot enough. Easy to find and plenty of good places to eat and drink nearby.

Great location for train and tube stations and the King's Cross food market stalls. Friendly and helpful staff. We had a triple room which had 1 double and 1 single bed, it was very small, but clean and had everything we needed. If you are on a budget, this is a great place to shower and sleep. No frills but it was quiet, clean and had comfortable beds with good housekeeping. Didn't t try the breakfast but appreciated the tea and coffee making stuff in the room. 4 stars from me only because the hallways/stairways need an update.

This hotel was a ten minute walk from st pancras/kings cross, an easy walk even with suitcases. It was right next to a small park, and I found several options for cafes, and restaurants nearby. It’s a quiet safe neighborhood that’s quite walkable and convenient to public transportation. I chose this hotel because it was affordable and a great value for the location, private bathroom with shower, a £5 continental breakfast that included a croissant, deli meat, cheese, cereal, toast and jam; and they had a 24hr concierge and were more than happy to hold our luggage so we could check in straight from the airport/train then walk to breakfast while we waited for our room to be made.

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.

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.
