Great location, great staff. Very comfortable bed and pillows Free coffee/filtered water daily. Only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars is no AC (fan provided), no heat (no options provided). I visited in October when some days were hot others cold and could have used either but stay was very comfortable. Can’t imagine what summer/winter would be like here though.

It was a great spot to stay as we were catching the Eurostar which was easily accessible from the hotel. It was also close to very nice restaurants.

This is a cute hotel with a nice lounge. We should have booked a better room because our room was in the dungeon- ground 0. You could hear the trains/metro nonstop and the sewer wafted unpleasant smells. The sister resort next door had a nice breakfast which we got a 20% discount on.

In a great location very close to Kings Cross/St. Pancras Station. A nice older hotel with small but nicely appointed rooms. No elevator, so beware of narrow hallways and stairs.

It's a very tiny room. Served It's purpose well. One down side was no central air. It was hot and we had a fan to cool us off. Not perfect but not the worst. The location is perfect being close to St Pancreas/Kingston Cross Stations. Staff was very nice and very willing to help.

Staff were very friendly, room was clean, bed was very comfy, the Bar could do with better options (just my drink choices) ideally located and the price was really good. For somewhere to stay for a night I couldn’t fault it.

Hotel is in a fabulous spot for train travel to or from Kings X St Pancras and also walking distance to Oxford Street and Covent Garden. However room was nothing like what is on website so know rooms are very small and there is NO LiFT with lots of windy stairs. Staff were very helpful to assist.

With the price, the shower water pressure, the bedding are surprisingly good! Perfect location, room is a bit small but for a short trip is enough. It’d be great if there’s a mini fridge or if we can store our food in the fridge.

While from the outside it looks like just a normal basic hotel on a quiet street, my wife and I found this hotel to be our favorite on our long trip around the UK. Staff is wonderful, the bar is basic but makes a great G&T, breakfast on a sunny patio. Located close to Charing Cross, Euston and St. Pancras rail stations and Underground, getting there and getting around London is easy. Lots of good restaurants all around. Even though there is no lift and you have to schlep your luggage up a winding staircase, it's worth it.
