    I would rate this property as a 1 star hotel even it’s rated 3 stars hotel. The room is very small and no air conditioner. Do not stay at this hotel if you travel during summer time. They just provided 2 body towels only per room. The bathroom was smelled terrible when we check in. We have to tell the front desk to clean it again.

    The location is very close to the underground and train station. It’s very convenient to access to everywhere in London.

    Great location but not a comfortable stay.

    The rooms were small and not sound-proofed. We stayed there for two days but could not get a good night of sleep because of all the yellings and shoutings in the neighbourhood. Also, the lights in the bathroom often went off automatically even when someone was taking a shower behind a closed curtain. Maybe the motion detector should be repositioned to a better place. The bedrooms and bathrooms were tiny, but it was a trade-off considering the Carlton's lower price compared to other hotels in the popular King's Cross area.

    Closeness to the King's Cross Station and eateries; clean rooms and nice staff.

    I did not sleep because it was noisy and hot, and the fan, which offset the latter problem increased the former. The noise level of the fan was similar to having a big short muzzled dog snoring next to your head the whole night.

    The staff were very friendly, allowed me to access the room as soon as I checked in.

    The traffic noise, along with revellers, kept us awake. Ended up wearing ear plugs. The shower head wouldn't stay into position to be able to wash properly. A box of tissues in the room is something that should be standard, and the fridge switched on, so it's ready to place items into. Also, sheets should fit the bed. Ours were too small.

    The location, while noisy, was almost opposite St Pancras Intel Train station, which was why we selected this hotel. Bed was comfortable.

    One can overlook that room is very small. More inconvenient is that in summer room is very stuffy.. there's only a fan that was on only when light was on. Window not soundproof and overlooks a busy rather noisy road including at night. So sleeping is disturbed. Soundproofing also needed between rooms..

    This place is very central... A few steps away from King's Cross and St Pancras Station.

    Internet was patchy. Small lift for one person and 1x luggage. Noisy on the street which you could hear from rooms.

    Close to St Pacras and Kingscross Stations. Rooms were cleaned every day. You could use the rooms for night time sleeping. Had a little fridge and fan. There are stairs. It is cheaper accommodation.

    No complaints; it's a budget hotel so room furniture is cheap and functional and shower cubicles are quite small, but that's to be expected given the price and location.

    Great location close to Kings Cross and transport links; comfortable bed, good hot shower. Good value for money. I've stayed a few times - you have to ask at reception if you need a hairdryer as they are not left in the room but they always have one available.

    The shower head wasn’t in a fixed place and couldn’t be tightened so kept sliding down the pole and from left to right. The bathroom light didn’t have a switch, it was a spotlight that kept going off every few seconds, I had to use the torch on my phone when in the shower as light kept going off. Water in sink wasn’t coming out properly either, was coming out at different angles

    Didn’t know there was breakfast. The location was perfect as it was right next to King’s Cross station. Bed was comfy and had everything I needed
