    Got a room on the next building on a 4th floor with no lift. Have to struggle with the luggages. Tiny steps and eerie environment. Felt unsafe during my 2 nights stay.

    The location although ideal for Kings Cross, came with the noise of the general public and traffic, which went most of the time, right into the early hours. Probably better double glazing would help this, but it comes with the territory. But if you can deal with noise, it's a decent but basic place to stay

    Ideally located for Kings Cross train station. Just opposite the departures. The room was basic, but maid service every day. Beds made, room.cleaned and towels changed. The twin beds were a good size. There good eating and drinks places close by and ideal links to the rest of London and beyond.

    Room is too small, not recommendation for couple. The hot water shower is not working that well, sometimes there isn’t any hot water. Shower only has either hot or cold water no middle choice. There is no safe and fridge in the room. Room is not sound proof, i can hear people next to my room walking around.

    The location is superb, 3 mins walk from kings cross station. Room is very small but cosy enough for solo traveller.

    Very small rooms and bathroom was very small. If you are a big person you would have trouble using the bathroom. Bathroom was naŕow approx 900mm wide x maybe 2m long. We stayed in the other part of the hotel Number 6 Birk3nhead Street which meant there was no lift so again if you are a big person, of age or had mobility issues the stairs would be a challenge. This hotel is probably a good price for the area however you get what you pay for. If you're looking for a place to lay your head close to the action and transport and don't need the comforts of home then this place is just that. If you need AC, a decent bathroom, room to move or you have mobility issues or like a reasonable standard of comfort then this place is not for you.

    Staff were helpful and very friendly. Very close to transport and eateries.

    Only two sockets. One was needed for the refrigerator, and the other had to choose whether to charge the phone, turn on the laptop, or the table lamp. The TV was out of the question, because the plug was broken. The window was not covered with anything. There was a full moon, which shone brightly directly in front of the bed and it prevented relaxation.

    I liked the location, the friendly staff, the comfortable mattress, clean bedding and the room in general, the presence of a fridge and kettle, as well as sachets with coffee, sugar and milk.

    Timer light in the bathroom meant it turned off after just 8 seconds of non movement (yes - I timed it!). It meant I had to be constantly moving like Bex from the Happy Mondays to avoid being left in the dark. This was easier when washing hands or cleaning teeth, but trickier when sitting on the loo. It also meant I had the shower in the dark as the curtain was behind the sensor. I could cope with this but I dropped the soap and couldn't see enough to know where it was so gave up.

    Cheap for it's location.
