    Comfortable stay in a clean and friendly small hotel

    This was a very clean and friendly small hotel close to Kings Cross Station. I was freshly decorated and the rooms were very clean, with everything you needed for an overnight stay. The bathrooms were small, but had everything you needed. The breakfast was excellent, and the staff went out of their way to get non-dairy milk in for me which was great. The also let us leave our bags in their store room for the next day after we checked out, which was a huge help. The reception was 24 hours and all the staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel was surprisingly quiet overnight given how close it was to KingsCross.

    The room was clean, with clean towels, clean bedding and drinks available (including biscuits which is always good with me). The rooms look there have been recently modernised. the rooms are cosy but ok for s short stayover. Shower easy to figure out. Location wise is great for St Panaceas and surrounding area.

    Unfortunatly the room was tiny, but we were there only for sleeping, so not a big issue

    Position is 7 minutes walking to Cing Cross Metro station and close to grreat places like The Water Rats!! Room was for sure small but very clean and the "jewel" of this hotel is the beautiful garden on the back side! The personnel is kind, gentle and very present!

    The room is too bright and noisy. The bed is very small, I felt like I was going to fall out. Overall, I could have gotten a significantly better room elsewhere for 20 pounds more.

    Great location. Nice backyard. Very good service, always someone at the reception and very friendly. Very clean. Good shower.

    Steps down to the rooms are quite narrow so watch your footing if you’ve got bigger luggage. No other complaints

    Really convenient location, having a 24 hour desk is also nice. Decent size rooms

    It was too hot in the room and the heat didn't seem to come from the heater so i couldn't do anything about it. I wanted to open the window but i couldn't??! It was too hot and sometimes i wanted some fresh air coming but other than that it was ok

    The breakfast was nice. The person serving me as well! People were really welcoming, nice and and always smiling :) the room was just enough and the bed was really nice except the pillow that was too flat for me. I'm sorry i left in a hurry and left some things in the shower and didn't close the garbage bag, sorry for the inconvenient as i have much respect for the cleaning persons!

    The shower takes ages to warm up but when it does it's ok except that it's unavoidable that the whole bathroom gets wet. The room was very noisy from traffic. Desk staff were brusque.

    This is a VERY basic hotel. You would stay here because it's relatively cheap and very convenient to Kings Cross St Pancras. The room was very clean (the common areas were worn and dirty), and there are tea making facilities in the room.

    It is on a noisy road. Fine (as I was) if you're getting up early, but it's not a place for a quiet break.

    Noise, although was moved to a better room after the first night once I'd asked. I'd recommend taking ear plugs in case you end up with a room facing the road as there is no double glazing.

    Location, close to King's Cross. 24hr reception. Facility to leave luggage after check out.

    TV reception ( but very minor issue)

    Cheap and cheerful as advertised on the tin. Spent one night having travelled down from Scotland for Champions league at The Emirates . Ideal location. Clean room with good shower plus tea coffee and water, all that I needed. TV reception was a bit iffy but wasn’t in room long enough for it to affect my stay. Didn’t do breakfast. Staff very nice , helpful and efficient . If I’m back down for the football would stay again.

    Convenient to train station and the parts of London we wanted to visit - literally 30 minutes walk to Covent Garden. Great value for money , clean , tidy and super friendly staff . I hate paying over the odds for hotel rooms - I took a chance on this place - and it paid off , I definitely would stay again.

    Our room was at the very top of the hotel served by an extremely small lift which I could not use as I suffer from claustrophobia. The stairs were extremely steep and I struggled with them

    The room was more than adequate for a 1 night stay and everywhere was very clean. Great breakfast, and location very good for central London.
