This location is perfect for inter-Euro traveling, since St. Pancras is right a ross the street. The staff were nice and I stood here the night before and after my short trip to Paris. I’d definitely recommend to others.

I was pleasantly surprised with this being a budget hotel but it was very nice. The room was clean, beds comfy and bedding clean. Towels changed daily. There was a TV and tea and coffee making facilities. The bathroom was clean but is very small anyone large would struggle a bit but other than that we had a good stay.

Excellent location almost across the street from Kings Cross and St. Pancras. Very helpful staff. The room and bathroom were clean. The bathroom was a bit small but sufficient, though it was a step up from the room, which felt a little weird. I would definitely stay here again.
