Perfect hotel for a short stay! I needed a room for an overnight stay so booked a single room. The room was small but perfect for what I needed. It was very clean and I felt safe, comfortable and had a good nights sleep. Only a five minute walk from King’s Cross and Staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

The room is small but has everything. They also offered to put my orange juice in their fridge. Love the shower, adjustable AC, and elevator perfect for heatwave days in the UK. Everyone who works at the reception is helpful and friendly; impeccable customer service.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very small room (<90 sq ft) for the price I paid. Twin bed, ensuite bathroom (shower, tiny sink that you had to squeeze around and under to get to the toilet) - but very newly refurbished and clean. Would have rated it very good if that were a choice. Couldn't give it an excellent because of the price per sq ft ratio, and the shower was very hard to figure out the controls on it, and the risk of scalding was high. The smaller shower head could not be raised up because the fitting was broken and it would just slide back down. A/C unit worked fine and a plus was that the room had two small windows one could open for fresh air. Staff was VERY helpful and although there are about 5 or 6 steps to get into the place, the floors themselves are served by lifts. Very close to King's Cross so I'd definitely stay there again.
No luggage holder, so you must use the bed. Note proximity of sink to toilet.

The people at the front desk were nice and friendly. The room was clean but small. I wasn't able to sleep well for a few nights due to the noises outside the hotel. The housekeeping service needs to do a better job in providing amenities because a facial towel and a shower floor mat were not given to us after the cleaned our room for the second time during our stay.

Just for sleep

It is a very small hotel and ideal if you need a place to rest/leave your things. It is near the train station and seems ideal if you are leaving early for the Eurostar. Good service, and near some good restaurants.
