The reason for the low marks is the attitude of the guy on the front desk when I collected my bag. He threatened to call the police. Thankfully I just made my train. All the other staff were too notch

Good stay with a a few minor caveats.

Great for a one night stay. Location is really good and the staff was excellent. Check in was a breeze and they were very kind and accommodating. Beds were a bit hard and the bathroom shower needed some repair. But overall I would stay here again if I needed a place for one night while moving through London.

Samantha

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was in a very convenient location for Kings Cross which is the reason I booked it. However, knowing what I know now I wouldn't have booked it. The beds were comfortable, but one was right under the window so the curtains hung in your face. Accessibility to the room was dangerous with heavy cases and no help was offered. The shower was tatty, the plastic cladded walls were damaged at the bottom, but above all was the heat. There was a weak fan balanced on a chair achieving nothing. The room was unbearably hot and we had very little sleep. This was bad for us as we had 24 hours if travel ahead of us.

I stayed overnight before catching the Eurostar. The room was small but well appointed, including TV and tea/coffee making facilities. The bedroom and shower room were very clean and the bed was warm and comfortable. The only downside was the narrow staircase (no lift), but the person on reception carried my case upstairs for me. I would book again.

The location was great - about half-a-block and across the street from King's Cross - St Pancras. And right on the Piccadilly line - so no need to change trains from London Heathrow airport. The room was small but updated and clean with private bathroom (with shower). I would stay at this hotel again in the future.
