Great stay
Stayed here a few times before the renovation. Definitely like the upgrades in colour and decor. Bathroom is pretty large considering. There used to be breakfast option but not anymore. But would still prefer to stay here

Property very close to major train stations. Walkable to shopping and the theatre district. Walls a bit thin. I could hear the people in the next room sneeze. lol. I had a small issue with housekeeping knocking on my door while sleeping a number of times in the duration of an hour. I mentioned it to the desk and it didn’t happen again. Would stay again.

The location is very convenient, just a short walk to St Pancras and King’s Cross stations. The hotel is very quaint, if you do not like stairs, look for other choices. Stairs are narrow and creaky. Rooms are small but comfortable. They have a great heater. Bathroom is the best feature of the room, super clean! The sink… well let’s just say it’s very small so be careful while washing your hands or brushing your teeth. No key cards, only a physical key that you must leave at the desk every time you go out. Even though there's construction going on at the moment right across from the hotel, noise level is not too bad. Mattress is not very comfortable as it is a spring mattress but if you’re tired, you’ll barely notice. There’s a tea kettle, instant coffee/tea, hair dryer, toiletries, and a safe in the room. I thought the price was a bit high to be honest, but it was the best option at the time of booking.

Great hotel conveniently located close to Kings Cross station to access the tube. Clean and comfortable room. Only difficulty is there is no lift and the staircase is very narrow when lugging your bags to your room. Otherwise, we would definitely stay again if we ever plan to return.

Great location
Perfect place for an overnight stay, just a short 3 minute walk from King’s Cross St Pancras station but in a tranquil square away from the traffic. Very clean and comfortable. No lift but only had a small suitcase so stairs were manageable. Would definitely recommend!
