8/10 Very good

Great value and convenience location

The location was convenient for travel, and we had a fantastic time staying at the hotel. The receptionist was friendly and helpful. The room matched the images we saw online, which were an accurate representation. Although there was some noise from the busy street outside, we still felt safe and comfortable at night. Overall, this hotel is a great budget-friendly option for a short stay.

Great 2 nights

It was a very satisfying stay, we enjoyed our two nights here, as it was a very central spot for transportation. Great location, smooth check in, i just wish they would start building some elevators in these buildings

The room is extremely small but it’s clean and tidy. It’s good for a day or two stays. It’s located very close to the subway station , very convenient.

4/10 Fair

Room was tiny and crammed with three beds, two singles and a double (we only booked for 3 people). Bathroom was dirty, run down and in serious need of some love. No amenities provided like soap or shampoo.

Even though it was small it was so affordable and convenient. I loved it here.
David, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Ok for 1 night but no longer

Very friendly reception which made us feel welcolm. Given keys for front door for late return as no reception later on an evening. Room was for 3 adults and was tiny with very little floor space to move around. Bathroom ok but very small and cramped. Room was described as ground floor but staircase and tight corridoor to struggle through with suitcases.(nice guy off reception did try to help). Double bed was small for 3 adults and bedding did not feel crisp clean. Great location for Kings Cross and othwr transport.
Alistair, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This hotel is great if you need a place to overnight when you have a train to catch next morning. It's almost directly opposite King's X, St Pancras station. I wouldn't recommend it for a long-term stay as the room I stayed in was small, as was the bathroom.
Stephen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Basic hotel with small rooms. No elevator or offer to assist with bags. Shower did not drain well. Ok for a short stay and handy to train stations.

2/10 Poor

Location is very good.
HIROYUKI, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Terrible room

Stayed for 1 night prior to catching the 7 o'clock Eurostar to Brussels the following morning. My single room was a tiny, cramped annexe in the dismal basement courtyard at the back of the hotel, with one tiny window, barely any natural light and hardly any floorspace. The bathroom door was kept open by the wastebasket! However, at least the room was clean. It took me a while to get to sleep due to the rumble of the underground trains under my room.
Richard, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location convenient to St Pancras Train station and other things to see nice restaurants and pubs nearby. Very helpful staff. It is snug but worked perfect for a couple. Will be staying again soon.

Affordable

Very close to St Pancras. Old hotel in need of make over. We were in room on lower level and very noisy with floor squeaking. Friendly and helpful staff.

Close to Kings Cross made London Travel on the Tube very easy. Several good restaurants in the near vicinity. The staff was excellent.
Richard, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel staff were super friendly! Location is ideal especially if you are coming from the St Pancras train station and you are close to kings Criss. Our room was squeaky clean. Great place to stay if you are on a budget.
Katie, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was very clean with a friendly staff, and the perfect location. The one thing to be aware is the rooms and bathroom are extremely small.
Vlad, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay in London, especially for a quick trip and you’re travelling light. Close to Kings Cross and St Pancras, and quick access to many places to eat. Staff were helpful and checkin/checkout was easy. Room and building were clean. Only drawback is the school close by which generates a decent amount of noise but it’s usually for a short while. Glad to have stayed here and will definitely return next time we’re passing through London!
Sohrab, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location to public transportation. And local coffee shops and restaurant. If you know you will be out all day and just need a place to lay sleep, shower and toilet. It is the place for you.
