Was ok, couple of annoyances
Check in and out was an absolute breeze, location is good for Kings Cross Station. Was clean and bed very comfortable, air con was great. Did have a couple of issues to be aware of though, the room and bathroom was small, to the point that the bathroom door has been removed totally. Was only me so no privacy issues. However, the extractor fan in the bathroom was on constantly and was noisy, when it wouldn’t switch off I’d seen the isolator switch to try and switch it off so I could sleep - the isolator switch did nothing so the fan was just hard wired in. The room did have a bit of a smell, but not to the point I’d make a big issue of it.

Not happy guest
When we arrived the front desk manager wasn’t friendly at all . The hotel room was just a basic room a bed a table and a bathroom . The bed was very comfortable! Only one plug socket worked in our room . We got woken up by a fire alarm early in the morning ! I would not stay again the same manager didn’t let us leave until proof of id even though we both showed ids yesterday. The AC in the room was nice . Definitely over priced for what it is !!!

We stayed in a 4 person room. It had all been recently renovated. Room was a little tight but most London rooms are so adjust your expectations. There are some nice nuances such as a light over the mirror where the hairdryer was. Bathroom was fully renovated but was a tiny bit damp but we were in the basement so that could have been a factor. Overall I would stay here again.

Staff was excellent and attentive. Breakfast was good in value and price. Very clean. Only problem: room is very small. I guess we can’t expect bigger room in London, especially in such central and convenient locations.

The team is very welcoming and kind however the hotel itself needs some work around painting and maintenance. The location is excellent.

The room was small but perfect for one person. It would have been nice to have at least a complimentary bottle of water. Also, there is no elevator on the property. This wasn't too much of an inconvenience for me since I only had 1 piece of luggage, but this could be a problem for those with a lot of large luggage and mobility challenges. The property is a short walk to the King's Cross-St. Pancras subway station. The hotel area is quiet but close to shopping area, food and cafes. I recommend this hotel for short trips.

Noisy hotel
We arrived and the place was being painted so even our room door was wet. We were woken up at 6.30 the next morning by staff shouting and slamming doors. Very noisy.

Cozy hotel close to Kings Cross
Great location and price. Construction next door but didn’t affect us since it stopped around 6pm. The hotel is tight for space on the stairs ( no elevators) and the fire alarm went off while we were there which was good since it worked.
