The room was clean and staff were very friendly. However, the walls are very thin and could hear every conversation from the room next door and on the street.

The staff are nice and accommodating. The room was okay, though it is a bit cramped. The place is near the King’s cross - St. Pancras station, which is good if you have an early morning train going to Paris.
