Cosy and clean!
Cosy, clean and perfect for a couple! Perfect location for a London trip, very kind staff and slept well! Thank you 😊
Emily, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Terrible room
Stayed for 1 night prior to catching the 7 o'clock Eurostar to Brussels the following morning. My single room was a tiny, cramped annexe in the dismal basement courtyard at the back of the hotel, with one tiny window, barely any natural light and hardly any floorspace. The bathroom door was kept open by the wastebasket! However, at least the room was clean. It took me a while to get to sleep due to the rumble of the underground trains under my room.
Richard, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location convenient to St Pancras Train station and other things to see nice restaurants and pubs nearby. Very helpful staff. It is snug but worked perfect for a couple. Will be staying again soon.

Very close to St Pancras. Old hotel in need of make over. We were in room on lower level and very noisy with floor squeaking. Friendly and helpful staff.
Jackie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay in London, especially for a quick trip and you’re travelling light. Close to Kings Cross and St Pancras, and quick access to many places to eat. Staff were helpful and checkin/checkout was easy. Room and building were clean. Only drawback is the school close by which generates a decent amount of noise but it’s usually for a short while. Glad to have stayed here and will definitely return next time we’re passing through London!

Close to Kings Cross made London Travel on the Tube very easy. Several good restaurants in the near vicinity. The staff was excellent.

Room was dirty and cold. The whole place seemed dirty tbh. I initially had planned to stay 2 nights but could not bear it
Lizbeth, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel staff were super friendly! Location is ideal especially if you are coming from the St Pancras train station and you are close to kings Criss. Our room was squeaky clean. Great place to stay if you are on a budget.
Katie, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was very clean with a friendly staff, and the perfect location. The one thing to be aware is the rooms and bathroom are extremely small.
Vlad, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location to public transportation. And local coffee shops and restaurant. If you know you will be out all day and just need a place to lay sleep, shower and toilet. It is the place for you.

Nice bargain hotel. Handy for Kings Cross / St Pancras and Euston. Lovely staff. No breakfast but lots of options very nearby.

Daniel, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Convenient location
Staff was very helpful instructing us where the Hop On Hop Off bus was located as well as how to get to Heathrow Airport via the underground station. Very friendly staff. Room was changed from upper level to ground floor after seeing our luggage, a kind gesture since no lift.
Kim, 3-night trip

Outstanding location for getting around London and to and from airport and other cities. Small but clean rooms, friendly and helpful staff.

This property is really close to the train station. The convenience was a huge benefit. Much dining nearby. The rooms were clean and a efficient. She’s not an opulent grand hotel, yet she delivers the essentials quite adequately. We would stay here again.

Easy access to trains and busses. Restaurants nearby and safe to walk around. No lift at the hotel so be aware if you have heavy luggage and challenged to do steps. Everything was fine, clean and comfortable.
