Great location/Terrible mattress

Great location! We stayed on the 1st floor and it was obvious that the tube was right below us as we could hear/feel it but it wasn't too bad. The mattress however was terrible. Otherwise it was a nice enough hotel with a cute patio area.

Incredibly convenient location but no AC in room

The hotel is VERY centrally located- across the street from Kings Cross-St Pancreas. The underground tunnel to get into the station is half a block from the front of the hotel. Staff was nice and cordial. The common spaces were good. They have a small bar with lots of comfy seating (I worked from here one for a couple hours one morning). There is also an outdoor patio with about 4 tables, which was also nice to sit and have a coffee in the sunshine. The room itself was very small, though it was fine for one person. Beds were very firm. The fixtures in the bathroom are a bit old but functional. My one complaint is that there is no air conditioning - I was there in June when it was over 30 degrees. Thank goodness they had a small fan in the room or I don’t think I would have made it! I put the fan in the open window, though with my room being on the ground floor it wasn’t incredibly safe. I was a bit worried but wouldn’t have survived with the window closed so took my chances. I would stay there again, as it is an incredibly convenient location, just not during a heat wave.

Good for one night in London, visiting Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Wouldn’t want to stay longer than a night, or if spending too much time in the hotel room. Little ventilation (very hot), and can hear the tube under the room at night. However, very clean, great location for transport and great value!

It was awesome onec we got moved to a room above ground and with AC. The bottom floor room was smaller, with no AC but was still nice. It was hard in the heat. The hotel accommodated us nicely. Highlight was the breakfast!

The only rooms with Air Conditioning are on the 4th floor. There is no elevator and no bellman, so you are on your own if you want AC.

Room was incredibly small - it wasn’t clear in the booking process that the sink was in the main room away from the toilet and that there was not a proper bathroom. Toilet and shower was separated about half a metre from the bed with a glass wall and what I can assume was very old pipes as in the morning there was water leaking from somewhere around the toilet. The room did appear clean on arrival though but you can really smell the musty old carpets in the building as a whole.

Clean. Smaller than a hotel pod. Stairs going everywhere. No air con but I did have a window that cranked open. No elevator. Advertised breakfast not at their hotel. It’s at a “sister”hotel. Overall too expensive for the size but it was convenient to king’s crossing transportation.

Useful location

This hotel is conveniently located by Kings Cross station, and the communal areas are quite stylish. The rooms was comfortable but a little bit tired. Despite being near a very busy part of the city, the noise was minimal.

Like the reviews say, lots of narrow steps. Room was small. But perfect for a day in London and being near train. Safe and clean.
