I booked this hotel for an overnight trip because it was very reasonably priced. I found it welcoming. My room was bijou but spotlessly clean and had everything I needed. The continental breakfast was good with the croissants being particularly delicious. The very pleasant young lady manning the kitchen area offered me toast which was made to order. The hotel is well located for exploring central London. I would definitely stay here again.

Interesting experience here - booked in for one night Saturday in a single room. Building appearance reasonable from the outside. My room Was up several flights of stairs which was not an issue. Was a single room so extremely small - bed was fairly comfy albeit probably fairly old with springs that reflected that. Reception staff were polite and respectful. The shower was not the most powerful and extremely space restricted but water temperature was good. No air con in the rooms so in recent hot weather bear that in mind by the upstairs rooms do have the facility to open the window. Plenty of power sockets and although basin was slightly cracked the room was very clean - it is a good location within 5 minutes of King’s Cross. Is it the greatest hotel I have ever stayed in - no, but for the money and location would be hard to better the value. Definitely worth considering if your budget is tight.

Congratulations on the questionable honor of being the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. I honestly didn’t think I would still experience something like this. The bed looked like it came straight from the 1980s, and it was so worn out that the springs had clearly retired a long time ago. The room was also so tiny that it was impossible to stay there comfortably without having your suitcase constantly in the way or your clothes piled on your lap. The staff were quite unfriendly as well. The building itself was nice, but the whole place desperately needs an update. Even if the price is cheap, a hotel absolutely needs to provide a proper bed — that is literally the main reason people stay there. In the chilly March weather, the thin blanket was nowhere near enough either. A proper duvet would have been appreciated. The only positive things were that there were no unwanted “guests” (bugs etc.) in the room, and the location was good
