For under £85, it's central, quiet, walkable to King's Cross st, the underground, shops and restaurants. Even the slowest of walkers wouldn't take more than 5 minutes. It's clean enough, abit tired. Rooms are pretty small but for central London, it's absolutely ideal. And it was a great price. Would absolutely stay again!

Nice enough hotel.

A nice enough place. Friendly staff, great location. Five minutes from Kings Cross station, underground and bus routes. Yet, surprisingly quiet during my stay. Clean and tidy room, but a bit small for me, especially toilet/shower/sink crammed into a really small space.

Flithy Place

The Hotel shouldn't be called a hotel more a dirty hovel. I have no idea how the are able to function legally with the standards they have. Dirty, double room was a queen size bed with a mattress so lop sided we had to sleep top to tail in a queen size. There was never any staff at reception to complain to and there was noise all hours of the night, banging and shouting. Not seen curtains that filthy in my life. Glass bottle tap water in the room, god knows how old? Do not waste your hard earned cash there.

Needs a clean

Room we stayed in needed a good deep clean, under the beds were thick dust. Walls had marks all over them and holes in the bathroom door. We were only sleeping here for one night though. Would not stay again unfortunately.
