Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Basic at best
Bed sheets clean and beds relatively comfortable. Location very good and not too noisy. Room and whole hotel very basic and hasnt been decorated since 60s, maybe?! Room tiny and very hot and stuffy. Ensuite aweful! Lots of mould and mildew, not clean at all. Shower head diagusting, yellow mould all over! Cheapest in area we could find for 3, but still massively overpriced and wish I spent £75 more for premier Inn!

Great little hotel
A great little hotel only a few minutes walk from King’s Cross / St Pancras stations so it’s a great location for exploring London. Friendly and helpful staff, quiet location and a comfortable bed made my stay very enjoyable.

Solid value
If you are looking for comfortable value, this is perfect. Very clean but small rooms — ideal for a solo traveler just looking for the basics. Very friendly front desk and easy walk from the Kings Cross tube.

Room was perfect for my 3 night stay. Even though the bath was shared, it was never an issue. Great for a comfortable place to sleep when visiting London with a heavy schedule. Convenient to tube and Kings Cross Stations; Not a lot of local convenience /food stores around - mostly found overpriced restaurants and overpriced Boots/M&S (b/c of Kings Cross - pricing is different in other areas) Room was a bit noisy due to facing street and current construction.
