Basic room but perfect for a one night stay. Brilliant location over the road from kings cross and at pancras and being able to drop your bags off meant we weren't lugging them round all day

Clean room and laid out well. Very warm overnight even in January! 2 fans supplied which was great but still stuffy. Construction works went on until 8pm but quiet after that. Great for what we needed as early Eurostar journey!

The hotel is well located close to kings cross. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was simple but clean, stylish and well-equipped. However, beware that many rooms (including the double room I was in) are in the basement where the underground can be heard very loudly through the night.

A basic hotel but that is what we paid for. A solid option with very friendly and helpful staff. The steep steps into the bathroom are not for the faint hearted and the walls are very thin! But a good option if on a budget. Excellent location

I stayed here for one night between arriving at LHR and taking the train to Paris. This is the best location for the best price near St Pancras. Highly recommend, the room was very clean and cozy, everyone at the property was lovely and there’s a tube entrance right at the end of the street that takes you directly to Kings Cross/St Pancras. I’ll absolutely stay here again.
