Room was perfect for my 3 night stay. Even though the bath was shared, it was never an issue. Great for a comfortable place to sleep when visiting London with a heavy schedule. Convenient to tube and Kings Cross Stations; Not a lot of local convenience /food stores around - mostly found overpriced restaurants and overpriced Boots/M&S (b/c of Kings Cross - pricing is different in other areas) Room was a bit noisy due to facing street and current construction.

Cheap and cheerful hotel in a great location a short walk from King's Cross/St Pancras Station. The perfect base for exploring central London. It was clean and tidy, and the staff were friendly. They were happy to let us leave our luggage both before checking in and after checking out. What more could you want? We'll be back the next time we're in town.

Reception staff was pleasant. Room was clean. Decor was dated but the beds were comfortable, we slept soundly. It was great value for money for a Saturday night in London. I would stay again for a night or two if we needed a budget stay.

First-class budget hotel
This is an ideal place to stay in London on a budget, very close to King's X and St Pancras, offering nice rooms where everything is clean and everything works. The staff are friendly, they're happy to let you leave bags in the reception for pickup later. London is so expensive (prohibitively so for many people) and this hotel fills a need for quality, affordable accommodation. I'd definitely stay there again.
