Lovely location to stay in

We have stayed here before. The room is pretty decent sized and the bathroom we had fairly big. It's in a good area close to Kings Cross/St Pancras and several eating establishments. Overall a great placeto stay

Great Location ideal for a short London layover

The hotel is about 3 minutes away from Kings Cross. and St Pancras stations and closer to the tube entrance. We had an early departure for the Eurostar. The California have very helpful and friendly staff and the accommodation, though basic, was clean. Great value for money
Alan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect place for an overnighter.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Very clean and quite modern but the room is so very small. Also we had basement room so we were close to the subway that we could hear. Staff is ok but not over friendly.

Loved the location, the room was spacious and modern but very cosy. Noise was relatively loud in the early evening but was quieter when I wanted to sleep (good windows). Has AC. Really lovely hotel, very nice and helpful staff.

Everything was fine for what we needed for a one night stay.

Convenient location and clean rooms

Very convenient for the stations. Stair areas are quite shabby but the room is comfortable and clean. Plenty of amenities. There is no lift so a room on the third floor gives you a good workout.
