Avoid this hotel, the only positive is that it is close to Kings Cross station. Rooms are tiny, no lift, tiny bed, tiny toilet, dirty…

The property was under renovation, on the first morning there was no hot water for a shower and when we got there, there was no where to hang clothes it was a very small room, but it was comfortable.

Everything was pretty good, as expected. The room was quite tiny, but I booked a single. The amenities were quite nice actually and the bed was comfortable and I slept well. If your goal is to be very close to King's Cross St Pancras (a major transit hub), and not spend a lot of money, then this is a fine choice. If you're looking for fancy, this isn't it. But it did the job and met expectations.

Ok for a night.

Ok for a night near King’s Cross St Pancras which is easy to access within a few minutes walk. Payment was taken in advance even though I’d selected pay at property which was annoying as I wanted to use a different card, but stay was ok. Bed reasonable and shower ok. A little noisy, but not so bad with earplugs.

Management of this hotel were inflexible and uncooperative in addressing customer concerns, costing me more than 300 Euro out of pocket. I strongly suggest you find a more reasonable property to deal with, or risk similar treatment.

Room with double bed was the size of a cleaning closet, the bed took all space, so no desk or chair for working etc. Bathroom was renovated maybe a couple of years ago but holes / dents on drywall from door handles per the space available. There were insect traps in corridors which is not a nice sign to see as they’re there for obvious reasons, plus being they are trying to manage the situation. Not taking any of my luggage in before bug spraying the hell out of them.

Les chambres sont minuscules mais adéquates. Aucune place pour du rangement fermé à part la valise. J'ai laissé mon imperméable et mon foulard sur ma valise. Comment expliquer que le foulard ait disparu de ma chambre ? Le proprio ne m'a pas cru, c'était insultant. J'ai donc annulé le deuxième séjour qui était prévu quelques jours plus tard. Si ça vous intéresse toujours, mettez tout sous clés dans votre valise !

Rummet helt ok bra och sängen skön. I övrigt lite nedgånget hotell, inte så fräscht. Toaletten på nedre plan bedrövlig och låg massa sovsäckar eller liknande slängda i ett utrymme vid trappen. Receptionisten var trevlig och hjälpsam.

The room was very small but cosy, it had everything needed to sleep and have a shower. Take into account there is no elevator. Walls are thin so it’s easy to hear the neighbours’ noise. The hotel is very conveniently located near the train station, in a nice street in front of a park. The staff is kind and friendly.

Mouse droppings?

All was good, everything looked clean, tidy and cozy. Although, Im convinced I was woken up at 2:30am in the morning to a mouse in the room as I was hearing the bin bag being rustled, but i didn't see anything. Chalked it off to gravity initially pulling something in the bin, but checked around in the morning and did find mouse dropping on the floor. I was on the bottom floor so Im not sure if they got in easily. Didn’t mention anything on checkout as I thought I was overthinking it, but I regret it now after thinking it over.

Overall, for the price and proximity to public transport, can’t beat it. There were some beard hairs still in the sink when I checked in, but the rest was very clean. The walls are THIN, so probably not the place for any light sleepers.
