Quaint and clean. Friendly staff. Convenient to tube and train. Tea & coffee available in room. Good water pressure, plenty hot. About the smallest room I’ve ever stayed in, but the bed was good and really that’s all I needed.

Great location and friendly staff, BUT beware building is right on top of picadilly train line and you can feel and hear the train every 5 minutes or less, at least that was the case in our room and reception said it was true for every room when we asked about moving to a different room. Also room was ridiculously small barely room to walk between the 2 beds pushed against the walls

It was a stones throw away from kingscross, so convenient and easy to explore from. The staff were polite and friendly. I was on the second floor but the man on the desk when I arrived very kindly took my case up for me as there is no lift. The room very small but very clean. A thing I have not always found in larger establishments.The bed was really comfortable. It was good to have tea and coffee facilities. It felt very safe.

It was very noisy and the room/bathroom was not cleaned properly. Location next to King's Cross station is worth a 10!

This hotel is great if you need a place to overnight when you have a train to catch next morning. It's almost directly opposite King's X, St Pancras station. I wouldn't recommend it for a long-term stay as the room I stayed in was small, as was the bathroom.

Basic hotel with small rooms. No elevator or offer to assist with bags. Shower did not drain well. Ok for a short stay and handy to train stations.

A problem was that this multi story property has no lift. Being an older building the stairway is narrow and steep. Getting bags to the 3rd level room felt like a good gym workout but would be a big problem if you had physical limitations. Staff did not offer help. The room was small, had one small window and no aircon. In March this was ok but I imagine in summer it would be hot. They did supply a fan. The bed had a metal frame and made a loud clanking noise when you got in/out. Shower/toilet room very small but well equipped.
