Perfect location for St Pancras station and early morning Eurostar train. Staff friendly and helpful. Room clean and well presented, on the small side but perfect for what we needed.

Property is in a great location, in room 15 you will hear the school on week days (single glazed windows) and trains passing but for us it wasn't an issue. Upgraded to an ensuite instead of shared bathroom which I didn't realise when I booked. Cost an extra £30 a night fyi. There's good heating but no Aircon so factor that in the summer for this room. Theres no fridge as it's quite small in 15 but has a nice patio area. As it's a basement level not sure if you will get any sun though.

Its an odd place! A stones throw away from Kings Cross stations or a very short walk from Euston. This was the reason i booked the hotel, i was on my own going to a gig at kentish town. The hotel itself was very easy to find. Both check in and out was smooth, quick and staff very friendly. Complimentary wifi was good. The reception area had snacks and drinks (very useful). The hotel itself, i was in room 28. Very small but as i was by myself, it was fine. It was on the top floor, lots of steps in a small walk way, so if your not great at walking or got suitcases, this will be a problem. My room had no toilet or bathroom, both shared on said floor, toilet was outside my room and shower was down the hall. Room was comfortable, had a tv, desk, chair, basin to wash hands and a kettle with tea and coffee. So in all not what i was expecting but it was perfect for location and purpose of visit. All staff were friendly. A big plus but not applicable for me, you can keep your luggage there after check out. There was a nice little area (for smoking i guess) out the back. Like i said, in all, great for what i paid and reason for staying
