When so many hotel rooms these days are identical, this hotel stood out. I loved its quirkiness. Our room even had its own little garden.

Lovely if you don’t mind a few inconveniences
Reception staff very friendly and polite. Room was lovely and clean. The vaulted bathroom room was very nice however the issue was that the rooms were downstairs in the basement more specifically underneath the entrance of the hotel and therefore lots of noise, people coming in and out of the hotel and people talking etc. These rooms should not be so highly priced due to this inconvenience, although I did see a pair of earbud I don’t think this is a sufficient compensation for such disturbances. No phone in the room so you have to go to reception if you have any issues, the bathroom lacked hooks or towel rails to hang used towels and robes, there was no bin in the room only in the bathroom which is inconvenient. Overall this was a nice hotel and the vaulted bathroom was nice but a little cold. One more thing the TV has screen mirror option but I was not able to utilise this as it didn’t appear to be working.

We selected this property because of its proximity to the St Pancras rail station and the location was great. Friendly helpful staff and the room and other facilities were very clean! Please note that this hotel has NO lift/elevator and, if you have heavy or oversized luggage, it will be a REAL challenge to get your stuff up the narrow wooden steps! One other challenge is figuring out the light/power switches. The master switch was on the wall next to the door and we could never get the all the lights to go out without shutting off the master switch. The hotel employee was unable to explain how the system works.

The hotel has a depressing feel about it. It is dark and cramped. When I was checking in there was heavy cigarette smoke inside. There were always cleaning stuff, packed laundry all around, coming in and going out. It is nice to know that there is an effort to clean but they should not be in the way as the spaces are already so tight inside. Of the three receptionists- first one was super cool and welcoming; the second was an ice cold lady; the third one just doing his job. Would not want to stay again:(

Junior suite offers a good amount of space by London standards. Breakfast offered a wide selection, but no hot items. Short walk from Kings Cross Station. Overall a very good value.

Some quirkiness with the layout of the room, for example, very small bedside tables. No elevator and very difficult to get suitcase down narrow winding stairs.

So easy to get around from the hotel, kings cross is right down the street which we loved as we took the tube EVERYWHERE! Room was a bit small and no hooks for towels to dry but other wise would stay again!

Very clean and well modernized even if the building is a bit older. Was one of the nicest and most affordable hotels we could find that was just a 5 min walk from the Kings Cross / St. Pancras Station.

The hotel was just as pictured. We loved the decor and uniqueness of it, along with the story behind it. The staff were very helpful, assisting us with our credit card issue and just overall giving recommendations and checking in. This is a wonderful stay if you are looking for a place near Kings Cross and local bus tours.
