The hotel was exactly as I required. Within a few minutes walk from Kings Cross Station, in a quiet location, later in the day. The room was clean, tidy and comfortable. The staff member on duty was helpful in giving me directions for the area and my onward travel.

A great little hotel only a few minutes walk from King’s Cross / St Pancras stations so it’s a great location for exploring London. Friendly and helpful staff, quiet location and a comfortable bed made my stay very enjoyable.

8/10

Very lovely stuff. The only downside is that there was no elevator, but it's just the building's style. I also didn't pay attention when I booked the room. I booked a room with a common bathroom and toilet. So pay attention when booking, make sure you are taking the right option for you. Overall very clean, very good stuff. And it was close to all main touristic attractions. Many bus stops and the Underground nearby.

I would stay here again. For the traveler who prefers a spartan, clean and affordable hotel, this is a good option.
