Very small and spartan room but super convenient to St. Pancras/Kings Cross stations. Staff was very friendly. Stairs were a bit awkward with heavy bags so I wouldn't recommend for anyone who would find that a challenge. Value for price so no complaints.

We got upgraded to a room on the ground floor based on our luggage and the difficulty getting it to higher floors. This was so kind and thoughtful and we really appreciated this after our full day of travel. The staff were so accommodating and the room was perfect.

Friendly and efficient check-in. We had a "small double" room which matched the description. We could get round both sides of the bed. The layout was compact but it had all that was required and comfortable. Close to St Pancras station which was good for us.

This hotel is an absolute find! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The room was great - very clean, comfortable bed and far bigger than I was expecting and the outdoor terrace was such a surprise for central London! The location is perfect for travelling from Kings Cross or St Pancras as both are only a few minutes walk away. I will definitely choose this hotel for my next business trip as it had everything I needed. Thanks to the staff for being so accommodating with a late check out (for a small fee).

Good stay next to St. Pancras, Kings Crossing

The staff was so helpful and kind. We were exhausted after our long flight and they helped us get baggage downstairs, reserved dinner seats for us, and were over all just great. The accommodations are pretty basic but clean and well located if you need to leave from St. Pancras-literally up two buildings and across the road.
