We were thrilled to find a room to accommodate our family of four within walking distance of many shops, restaurants, and transportation. The staff were welcoming and helpful from the moment we arrived. Our family was pleased with the comfy beds and quietness of the area. We would live to visit again.

We chose this accommodation as it was close to Kings Cross Railway station. We required 2 one night stays before and after a holiday. The hotel is in a perfect location clean and well presented. The room was a bit small but exactly what we required. Will use again. There are good local pubs with 5 mins who serve very good food.

Great location in London, close to Kings Cross plus St Pancras train stations. Good price, helpful receptionist and modern facilities. In the room was a TV, hairdryer, kettle with tea, coffee etc. The wet room had shampoo, shower gel and soap. There was also a fan. The room was very small with a wet room I could just about squeeze into, but ok given the price. I stayed in a heat wave, there is no air conditioning and despite the fan, the room was very hot! Walls are thin so expect to hear your neighbours. Being in London, expect the street/surrounding area to be noisy, it was!

We stayed here one night mostly because it was close to Kings Cross and many restaurants/shops. It was ideal for a quiet place to sleep and recoup. It was not fancy at all, but solid for the price. Staff was very helpful. We'd book again.
