We were there over the weekend for the Oasis concert in a three bed room - everything was great for our stay. Restaurants and stores as well as public transport - all around the corner. One of the best budget hotels we have stayed at.

The hotel was clean and nice. We reserved a room that would accommodate three adults. The room was small (which was ok). The room was quite full of beds. Again this was ok but the potential lodger should be aware. The hotel is conveniently located near the Kings Cross underground and train stations.

We were a couple of friends going to a festival over the weekend and having to catch an early coach from Kings Cross. HW was the perfect location, 5 mins walk to catch the coach. Beds comfy, tea and coffee in room (not that we had time for that) and friendly welcoming staff. Dropping our bags off to catch the 8am coach was no problem at all. Great location for Kings Cross/St Pancreas.

We liked the desk staff, who were friendly, relaxed and helpful. The room was quite small, clean, tidy and all we needed for our overnight (we only used it to shower and sleep). TV worked, there was a kettle/coffee/tea, a safe and a fan, as it was hot when we visited. Bed was clean and very comfy. We were able to drop off bags before check-in and after check-out, which was invaluable. We liked the location and enjoyed the small park opposite - basketball players were impressive.

The hotel is in a great location that’s only a short walk away from major train stations, & the staff is friendly, accommodating and very helpful! The rooms are quaint but well updated. Although the rooms are small, this is to be expected in Europe and they still had absolutely everything you need even for a longer term stay. We would absolutely book here again for the location convenience, but also the comfort of the hotel.
