Great location very close to Kings Cross station. Check in was via the hospital next door and was easy enough. Overall hotel is tired and grubby - there were piles of dirty linen on each floor by the stairs when we arrived at 9pm.

Nightmare
It was a nightmare, there are bedbugs in the bedroom, kitchen doesn’t work, WiFi was impossible to connect, there was a leak in the bathroom, the staff solved using a can beneath, the third floor without elevator if you Bring luggage is an important issue. the hotel is very old the floor is really noisy and is lifting up

Tiny, very tiny
I stayed there for one night because I had an early-morning train from King's Cross. This place has the smallest rooms I've seen. They've squeezed in every millimetre of accommodation space: the shower is over the toilet, the bed occupies so much of the room there's barely space for a backpack (certainly not for a suitcase), the halls are narrower than a normal person's shoulders. The reception desk is three buildings away. It's clean and the receptionist is professional, but the building is ridiculously cramped.
