Small room. uncomfortable bed. Tiny bathroom similar to an RV and not very clean.. weird smell when you shower.. WiFi is not free and you not only have to pay for each device but it also doesn’t work very well and even if you pay for a day it will shut off before 24 hours is up. The breakfast is literally just toast. The stairway up is unsafe with luggage’s. The key cards randomly stop working. Not worth the money.

Filthy

Very dirty Hotel. Stale water in the kettle. Drawers and tops of wardrobe covered in dust. Light fitting was thick with years of dust. All dado rails had thick dust on them. The shower soap dish was filthy. Didn’t bother staying for the breakfast. Very disappointed.

Good value and helpful staff

Small budget hotel, well located for King's Cross and other public transport links. The building is old and shows signs of wear, but the room, although very small was perfectly adequate for a one night stay. It was clean and appeared to be fairly freshly decorated, and the carpet looked new. The ensuite was also tiny, but worked well and plentiful hot water. The breakfast was included, unusual for a hotel in this price range. The staff were very helpful. The radiator was not working ln arrival, but i was given an electric heater which was more than sufficient for the size of room. The only drawback i experienced was a loud noise from the plumbing while another guest used their shower. All in all a good experience and good value for money.

Very poor hotel!

Very poor hotel. Ive stayed in over 50 hotels in london and this is one of the worst. Room was not the cleanest. Carpets hadnt been hoovered. My room had no towels and only had 1 small pot of milk. I asked for more then they gave me 1 considering i use 3 to make 1 cup of tea. The funniest thing was the breakfast which is displayed as continental. All they serve is drinks, toast and cereal - Thats it! No pastries, eggs nothing. The wifi is also chargabale. I couldn't believe the size on my room when i arrived. The bathroom was insanely small. It smelt of paint. Not sure what they painted as the room needed so much work. The one positive is the lady on reception was nice. But theres no chance i would stay here again! Theres cheaper hotels in london that offer a better hotel for its guests.
