The hotel was exactly as I required. Within a few minutes walk from Kings Cross Station, in a quiet location, later in the day. The room was clean, tidy and comfortable. The staff member on duty was helpful in giving me directions for the area and my onward travel.

Very helpful and polite front desk staff and house keeping staff. Nice and tidy room. But toilet (only one) between two floors (6 rooms in total) and shower room on the other floor, shared between the same number of room. Unfortunately, there was a lot Constrcution work in front of the property which made the stay quite noisy during day time and basketball court right in front of my room made it no less noisy throughout the day. Bed was not comfortable unfortunately. Chair in the room was wonky and probably one of the cheapest I’ve seen but I have no complaints in the front desk trying to accommodate like with extra pillow or iron etc.

The hotel was clean and staff friendly and accommodating. The area is the big draw, close to EVERYTHING. You can walk or take the tube. Would definitely return.

Very handy, close to station

Stop before getting early Eurostar. Hotel staff very friendly, room clean and comfortable but dated and mould around shower. Could hear everything from surrounding rooms but I did find the bed comfortable and so close to station. I will stay again but bringing earplugs.

Perfect for my requirements as a solo traveller just passing through. Close to kings cross/st Pancras. Room was smallish yet fine for a short stay. Tv worked fine. Kettle and tea/coffee. Small en-suite, again fine for me. More importantly it was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the shower worked really well which is a bonus when travelling.
