Comfortable, convenient, and an excellent value.

This was a one-night stopover. For the price, I couldn’t have asked for a cozier or friendlier place to sleep off my jetlag. I arrived around 1pm but was able to check in right away and received help getting my bag up the stairs. Yes, the single room was small, but it was spotless and had everything I needed - wifi, tv, kettle, ensuite with shower, blackout blinds, convenient outlets to charge devices. I also appreciated that they sold instant noodles and porridge and other snacks in the lobby. The staff were kind and welcoming. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Overnight stay. Very short distance from St Pancras International. Room was perfect for me and the duration of my stay. Staff were very friendly. The only downside was my room was in the basement, with very narrow stairs and I was carrying a big suitcase. But that will not stop me from staying there another time or recommending it

Affordable small room in a good location!

Very functional and exactly what we needed. Located across the street from St. Pancras and close to restaurants and public transportation. The room was pretty small but clean and worked well for our needs. The shower was a generous size and there was plenty of hot water. I appreciated how affordable our stay was and there was ample room for luggage storage after we checked out! Only detraction: there are no lifts and the stairwells are narrow so maneuvering with our luggage was a bit of a struggle.

Nice little hotel

A friendly welcome. The property was newly decorated and very clean and tidy. The room was small but perfectly adequate and very good value for money. Ideal for Eurostar departure as only a few minutes walk from St Pancras.

I wasn't expecting my room to be on the third floor (fourth floor, by American standards) and the stairs were a challenge. This may have been noted on the website and I may have missed it. However, I was offered help getting my bags up when I arrive and down again on my departure. This situation also encouraged me to get out and walk around. I came downstairs in the morning and didn't return and go up those stairs until I well and truly ready for bed.

Better to Spend More for a Different Hotel

The room feels too small for the price I paid. I was traveling alone, but if I put my suitcase on the floor, there was barely any space to walk. It also didn’t seem like the cleaning was done daily. The hot water worked well, but I kept waking up at night because of coughing sounds from other rooms and the noise from garbage trucks outside

Great location. Very convenient to have a ski shop and ability to purchase ski tickets right in the hotel. All amenities are nice and clean. Hotel is just the right size, not to big not to small. Not ever crowded, just right.
