Great solo stay
The stay was great as always and staying in the basement room was much more spacious than other rooms I’ve stayed in. The only one issue is the silly positioning of the shower. The head and stand need mounting on a different wall other wise the water goes out towards the main door.

Easily accessible to and from St. Pancras International station.. just 5 minute away. Twin room is small, and walls are a little thin, but it was clean and the staff were first rate! Perfect for access to early morning train!

Really bad nights sleep
The hotel itself is very nice, but the walls are so thin that the room above us had a shower at 1am and woke us up, and every 12 seconds a train from the underground goes pass so if you like it quite to get to sleep then room C02 is definitely not one to have. Such a shame as the hotel is very well presented

Good location and value
Good price for a family room, close to Kings Cross which was fab to get around the city. Friendly reception staff, crisp clean white bedding, lots of bath sheets/towels… great place to put your head down for the night, will be back, thank you.

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.
