The facility is not to the mark as is shown on the photos. Certainly not value for money that is charged. Inconvenient size and placement of Bath fittings, safety escape routes not clearly marked, No phone in room (for inhouse communications), Limited info exchange at front desk, etc.

The bathroom shower was a bad design. One rotating tap with no indication of how to use it. Lever hard to get good temperature without getting cold water first. Shower head too high on wall and cannot be moved. Should be changed for hand wand type which would be better to hold. 12092024 date.

I think the first thing to say is that the hotel is not very far from the station which is a good point second point the room was accommodating and it had everything that was needed in there apart from the fan not working. The staff are very helpful and friendly the only thing that lets the place down is that the walls are thin between each room and above and therefore the noise can be very difficult if people just talking loudly and other noises and for that reason even with earplugs I'm not sure whether I would go back or not because some of the other people at the hotel did not have any respect but other people

My room was by the staff room so they were very inconsiderate talking very loudly at 6:30am in the morning. (Could have been earlier). Constant banging throughout the night and creaking from above room. Mentioned it to reception when checking out and will not be returning. Probably was one of the worst rooms I have ever been in. Pictures on website made it look better than it actually was.

Your workers are friendly. You don’t leave enough towels-1to share for hand wiping and no washcloths- just horrible. Toilet tissue sitting on the back of toilet not mounted on the wall. Only one thin pillow. Very little room to take a shower the bathroom is tiny. I bid you not to stay here!! Horrible

I certainly wouldn't be recommending this. The place has no accessibility and the staff are no help whatsoever. In fact, they are pretty unpleasant. There are much better places to stay at in London. I'd avoid this place.

Nice place at a standard we expected, good friendly helpful staff. Road outside very busy throughout the night which did produce quite a lot of noise, however due to its location quite close to Kings Cross station this is to be expected.Rooms were clean and functional with a good sized bathroom.
