This hotel is perfect if you just need somewhere to rest your head. Rooms are pretty small but didnt bother as was arriving late and leaving early. The room door was a bit stiff so you had to push firmer to close, making a bang. Felt it would disturb other guests. Staff were very friendly and welcoming

Would not stay here again. The staff are great but the property is dirty, tired and the walls are extremely thin. Was woken up constantly by traffic and people in the corridor (and I am really not a light sleeper). But the worst bit was their FIRE ALARM. It went off at midnight and again at 7.30am. Both times were accidental…it was just awful.

Was ok, couple of annoyances
Check in and out was an absolute breeze, location is good for Kings Cross Station. Was clean and bed very comfortable, air con was great. Did have a couple of issues to be aware of though, the room and bathroom was small, to the point that the bathroom door has been removed totally. Was only me so no privacy issues. However, the extractor fan in the bathroom was on constantly and was noisy, when it wouldn’t switch off I’d seen the isolator switch to try and switch it off so I could sleep - the isolator switch did nothing so the fan was just hard wired in. The room did have a bit of a smell, but not to the point I’d make a big issue of it.

Not happy guest
When we arrived the front desk manager wasn’t friendly at all . The hotel room was just a basic room a bed a table and a bathroom . The bed was very comfortable! Only one plug socket worked in our room . We got woken up by a fire alarm early in the morning ! I would not stay again the same manager didn’t let us leave until proof of id even though we both showed ids yesterday. The AC in the room was nice . Definitely over priced for what it is !!!

We stayed in a 4 person room. It had all been recently renovated. Room was a little tight but most London rooms are so adjust your expectations. There are some nice nuances such as a light over the mirror where the hairdryer was. Bathroom was fully renovated but was a tiny bit damp but we were in the basement so that could have been a factor. Overall I would stay here again.
