The best part about this was the price and the location. We got more than what we paid for - a pretty decent private room, comfortable enough bed, more than workable bathroom. Would recommend for a semi-budget option.

This was the smallest room I have ever stayed in. Pictures were very misleading. Very noisy— I had a sound machine with me so that helped. Overall seemed fairly clean, and location was good, but be aware the rooms are tiny and you can hear everything.

Good value hotel in great position, very friendly

Staff very friendly and accommodating. Gave us a ground floor room after an accident effecting mobility . Great position close to train , bus and underground. Lots of dinning options and takeaways in walking distance. Entrance hall needs upgrading , needs new carpet but our room was fine . Don’t be put off by first appearances.

Fine

Everything was perfectly fine. I stayed for 3 nights and no one ever came to clean or straighten my room, replace towels, etc., but otherwise, everything was OK. The staff at the front desk were particularly nice.

Kings Cross base

Good location base. Original room a bit of a small layout but we were luckily offered another choice of room available which we took. Staff friendly and very helpful. Communal areas need refurbishing as heavy use. Busy area so if on lower levels can hear outside but have to expect this in a city. Lots of places to eat nearby.

This place is essentially a hole underground—albeit in a very convenient location. The towels are clean, and the person who welcomes you is genuinely friendly. But beyond that, it’s still a hole. You’ll either find yourself in a cellar room next to the garbage bins, with a lovely view of strangers’ feet walking past, or squeezed into a room so narrow you can touch both walls at once by stretching your arms. Sound and smell isolation? Nonexistent. If the local youth are smoking weed on the stairs, you’ll enjoy it too—like it or not. When someone grabs a kebab from the night shop next door, you could practically join their conversation from your bed. And just when you think it can’t get better, the metro trains passing underneath don’t just make themselves heard—they’re felt. And they are frequent. If you only need a central location and a roof over your head, this place delivers. If you’re hoping for actual sleep… best look elsewhere.

Nothing wrong with this hotel for a night - clean, nice area, easy commute. Tv remote didn’t work but didn’t really matter as we came in late and left early. Also, pigeons nesting outside the window cooing at 6am but not the hotel’s fault really! Wouldn’t stay for a week but definitely another weekend if needed.

Ideal place to stay

Hotel was fairly decent, levels of cleanliness were very good I found. Perfect for what I needed and centrally located, is the hotel an 5*, no, but it is ideal and well positioned providing a comfortable and clean stay for the night. I would recommend
