A great hotel in a convenient location.

I was very impressed with the hotel. The gentleman on check in, was polite and offered to help with our luggage. The room was a twin en suite and it had all we needed. It was very warm. The curtains did a good job of keeping the room dark to sleep in. It was a little noisy in the morning from the road outside but only because we had the window open a little. The location was brilliant - so close to Kings Cross which was amazing for sightseeing. Lots of restaurants and eateries close to the hotel and a small Morrisons daily for any essentials that you may have forgotten. Overall a really pleasant stay and the room was very clean. The only slight negative is it would have been great to have a couple of towels each and one larger one- but other than that tiny point- I was really pleasantly surprised and would stay here again.

For such a small hotel, the lobby was staffed all the time. No problems getting issues taken care of. Fantastic place. Right near King's Cross. Affordable.

I have stayed here probably at least 5 times over the last few years and now don't look for anywhere else if they have a room. Small family owned hotel that is always clean with staff who are lovely. Surprisingly quiet at night given that it only about a 3-5 minute walk from Kings Cross/St.Pancras

Great location

Great location for us getting off a late train into KGX. Reception open 24 hours and they looked after our bags during the day. The room was ok. Nothing wrong with it or to complain about. I will stay again.

Great location near King’s Cross and Euston

Great hotel in a great location across from King’s Cross and walking distance to Euston station. We stayed in room 16 which was clean and comfortable, only downside was that it was missing a bedside table on one side of the bed.

Single room was tiny but comfortable and had everything needed for a 1 night stay in London for gig that evening. Super close to Kings Cross & St Pancras stations but on a quiet side street. Only thing I did miss was option for a cooked breakfast which they did used to offer pre covid.

Pretty spacious and reasonably priced for London. 2 min walk to international and underground trains, plenty of options for food close by as well. Not very suitcase friendly, narrow stairs and lots of tight corners. Hallways smelled horribly of cigarette smoke but the rooms didn’t.
