Old out of date hotel. Needs gutting and starting again. Sharing showers and toilets are a thing of the past. They crammed as many rooms in to make profit which was not put back into the property

Great value and prefect location..

Great little hotel minutes from kings cross station. Very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms cleaned daily with fresh towels. The hotel itself is very quiet but can occasionally hear noise from the street but it didn't bother us. Very good value, would highly recommend.

We only stayed because we had an early train ride from St Pancras. Was good enough for that. Shares bathroom is tiny. I can’t recommend this place but I can’t really give it a bad review. For you backpackers it’s ok. It’s a hostel, not hotel and I wish I knew that.

Stayed 3 nights. Going by the size of the room it was about right. Had an en-suite . The room was really clean, towels everyday, and the cleaning staff were excellent. Great location, by Kings Cross, would use the hotel again for a short stay.
