Sarah, 1-night trip

2 blocks from Kings Cross/St. Pancras.
Daniel, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Stayed 3 nights. Going by the size of the room it was about right. Had an en-suite . The room was really clean, towels everyday, and the cleaning staff were excellent. Great location, by Kings Cross, would use the hotel again for a short stay.

Nice room but very basic and a little worn .
Andrew, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel was clean and staff friendly and accommodating. The area is the big draw, close to EVERYTHING. You can walk or take the tube. Would definitely return.
Susan, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The hotel was exactly as I required. Within a few minutes walk from Kings Cross Station, in a quiet location, later in the day. The room was clean, tidy and comfortable. The staff member on duty was helpful in giving me directions for the area and my onward travel.
Susan, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Cheap for the location
Debashis, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent value

Great- friendly staff, comfy bed, clean, convenient location and brilliant price.
joanne, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

We only stayed because we had an early train ride from St Pancras. Was good enough for that. Shares bathroom is tiny. I can’t recommend this place but I can’t really give it a bad review. For you backpackers it’s ok. It’s a hostel, not hotel and I wish I knew that.
Melina, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location
Peter, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great little hotel

A great little hotel only a few minutes walk from King’s Cross / St Pancras stations so it’s a great location for exploring London. Friendly and helpful staff, quiet location and a comfortable bed made my stay very enjoyable.
Paul, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

I would stay here again. For the traveler who prefers a spartan, clean and affordable hotel, this is a good option.
Barry, 4-night trip

Had everything I needed for a night before an early Eurostar
Michael, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent
