We had a family room with 2 double beds which was perfect for a 1 night short stay. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The only thing that lets it down is that it is already looking a bit tatty despite being quite new.

Perfect hotel for a short stay! I needed a room for an overnight stay so booked a single room. The room was small but perfect for what I needed. It was very clean and I felt safe, comfortable and had a good nights sleep. Only a five minute walk from King’s Cross and Staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

Bare bones accommodation. REALLY small rooms, no mini fridges in the room, no utensils at the front desk, etc. staff was nice and did what they could do but helpful where possible. And It’s cheap and a modern build so decent accommodation. And hey they give you a couple water bottles and tea bags in the room.

SABRINA

Liked: Cleanliness
While no doubt the room is clean and tidy, it's tiny 10sqm size is way too small for 2 adults each with a 28" luggage and a hand-carry bag. My wife & I must take turn to open our luggage atop the bed to take out our essential items, then close up and place the 2 luggage on upright position on narrow passage way by the room entrance in order not to block our entry to restroom. This, however, have effectively blocked the room entry which would post fire hazard. Luckily we only spent one single night here. Will we ever come back again? NO!

The hostel staff were friendly, helpful and professional. At first the area around the property looked a little sketchy, but just down the street are two VERY popular asian restaurants, an Italian restaurant, and around the corner, there is a very popular Vietnamese Restaurant. Smokers are a dirty lot and leave their butts on the sidewalks and it makes the area look dirty. The sidewalk in front of the hostel should be swept more often. Inside the hostel, everything was nice and clean.
