Just a 5-minute walk from King's Cross and St. Pancras stations, the location was excellent. It’s one of the most convenient areas in London to stay at a reasonable price. The staff were friendly, and it’s a great choice for young travelers on a budget.

The rooms are tiny and I paid for an early check-in but the room was not ready when I got there. The staff were very apologetic but still was not great after flying 6 hours. The rooms are also quite small!
