10/10 Excellent

Stayed here for 3 nights while in London this month. Pros: clean, offers small breakfast, great vibe, friendly staff, nice decor, close to transit. Cons: no elevator, large construction site next door at the moment (couldn’t keep our windows open as workers would see right into our bathroom/bedroom, wifi didn’t really work in our room except in one spot by our door.

Donna, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Such a lovely hotel. The staff are very friendly and loved that there is a bar. There’s an outdoor terrace but it was raining so couldn’t use it. Lovely room, nice and clean and a huge bathroom. Great spot for Kings Cross area, up a small side street opposite the station - would definitely stay again
Kirsty, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It was awesome onec we got moved to a room above ground and with AC. The bottom floor room was smaller, with no AC but was still nice. It was hard in the heat. The hotel accommodated us nicely. Highlight was the breakfast!

Poor basement room which was very noisy
Robin, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Like the reviews say, lots of narrow steps. Room was small. But perfect for a day in London and being near train. Safe and clean.
Alan, 1-night trip

Construction works should have been noted before booking
Penny, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Thank you!
Andrew, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Very small and spartan room but super convenient to St. Pancras/Kings Cross stations. Staff was very friendly. Stairs were a bit awkward with heavy bags so I wouldn't recommend for anyone who would find that a challenge. Value for price so no complaints.
Anthony, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Only demerit of this hotel is no lift even rooms exist in 4th floor.
Junichi, 4-night trip
