Check-in was efficient and welcoming. George was on reception and a really lovely guy, polite and courteous. Our room was a small twin room on the 3rd floor (there was a lift). Compact bathroom with shower and toilet. Kettle, hair dryer provided with sachets of tea and coffee. Flat screen TV with Freeview. Simple, clean, compact room, perfect to use as a base. 5 minute walk to Kings Cross and lovely pubs minutes away. Camden Market is a 35min walk. Will definitely stay again when back in London. Thank you George!

The rooms are a little tired, but fully functional. If you have realistic expectations, it’s a great choice.
Tiniest room I ever stayed in. One bed, not a single chair or table, modest bathroom

Property very basic, but clean. Had all we needed and was nice and warm.
Was fine for one night.
Could have done with another pillow.
Staff very helpful, and friendly.
Unfortunately the lift was broken the weekend we visited but could go up to next floor and walk back down or straight up which wasn't too much of a problem, and the desk staff took up our luggage for us.
Disappointing for the amount of money we spent. The room was tiny and cramped.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The place was pretty run-down and the facilities were very basic. The photos of the room made it look much better than it was. There was a mouse poisoned trap tucked beside one of the beds! For such a central location (just a few minutes walk to Kings Cross Station) it was very convenient and the price was reasonable. Just disappointingly dingy.
This property is not at all what is advertised. The bathroom was not clean. There was blood or other matter on the walls. The carpets were disgusting. I don’t recommended this property to anyone, especially a women travelling alone as the doors didn’t even close properly. The “towels” provided were see through, the pillows are non-existent. The proximity to King’s Cross was the only appealing thing about this hotel and in the future I would stay farther away to avoid this place. If we hadn’t paid for this before hand we would have checked out immediately but didn’t want to loose out on that money since this hotel was grossly over priced and over rated when we booked.

The walks are very thin and hallways noisy, just okay for
This property was zero percent of what I had expected. There are signs stating that breakfast was not being served due to COVID, televisions that do not work, remotes that do not work, and beds that feel like they are well over a hundred years old (I’ll exaggerate slightly on this as they exaggerated in their ad about it being comfortable). While I understand that London is busy, there are HUNDREDS of better hotels. Honestly, I think that sleeping under the bridge would be more comfortable. The staff was kind, however this owner/manager should really consider the fact of how things impact others, such as having lifts that do not feel safe etc. Further—I have even heard some of the staff talking about how they have poor reviews removed so they can still keep their ratings—so do not trust the stars they have as there may be many other poor reviews they have worked to remove.
