Reviews are correct. Place was convenient for taking trains like tube, Eurostar, LNER. The neighbourhood was safe and quiet. Staff was courteous. Room was small but had a bathroom in room. Bed was a bit too soft but covers were comfortable. Was perfect for our stay as we just needed a place to sleep.

Rooms are tiny, no airflow, smells of sewage and damp, no lifts so difficult with luggage. The only thing going for this property is it's close to Kings Cross station.

Water Pressure

the hotel is average as a bedsit, budget hotel, very basic accomadation, no fan or A/C. No water pressure so showering was not an option, this was on the 3rd floor.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean. The receptionist took our bags up to our room on the top floor. It was easy access from St Pancras and Kings Cross. The room and en suite were small with a broken shower screen. Good for an overnight, but not great for a longer period. I should add that we do normally try to book "Very Good" or "Excellent" properties, but this suited our travel arrangements.
