very helpful and friendly reception guy, room was average but reasonably comfortable although quite expensive for what i got.
3.2
No air-conditioning, there was a fan however still felt stale in the room.
3.2
great location and 24 hour staff on-site.
3.2
Great location, quite street staff friendly.
Hotel bit dated and tired fine just to sleep couldn't exactly sit about room
3.2
We didn’t like this hotel at all
3.2
The room was too hot! Only tiny fan. A small window opening into a courtyard. Felt suffocating
3.2
The whole place is basically a staircase just as wide as a small suitcase. The current carpets are probably layer 5 which makes it hard to even walk straight on the soft floor. Add luggage and the narrow stairs... not for old people. Then the rooms... I will not even comment on that. I'm an engineer, so I found a way to keep the upwards sliding window open. No water bottle in the room, not even for sale in the reception. Takes about 20 mins for the toilet to refill 3 times to flush the poo... and that same lack of waterpressure goes for the tiny little shower.
This is the most overpriced hotel I ever came across on my 26 years of travelling all continents. Good luck!
3.2
Images on line dooesn't reflect the actual rooms. Single bedroom is just a corridor with a single bed, table and ensuite. TV broken. The loud rumble of the underground train kept me up most of the night. Could hear the toilet next door all the time. I wouldn't stay there again.
3.2
This 5 Star review is not to state that it is a "5 Star Hotel" but that it hits all the marks that it offers as a 2 Star establishment.
1 Night in Room 4
Comfortable and clean bed with a power outlet nearby and a working wall-mounted TV
Spotless ensuite with decent water pressure and heat.
Decent wifi connection.
Friendly staff.
Well located near to a Waitrose and Sainsburys, not far from Holburn Puregym, Kings Cross Station/Euston Station.
3.2
I got a room all the way in the basement, no view. Ceriling height is 6’ tall. The room above me is so noisy, i can hear the person walked around. Location is convenient but this hotel is not maintained well. When i took a shower, water started accumulated, obviously there is a draining issue. Bed is old and squeaky, if you toss & turn alot like me, you’ll know what i mean.
3.2
Basic but fine for one night.
3.2
Easy to find. Walking distance from Kings Cross. Next to University so students were about. Clean but dated. Comfy bed. No aircon so it might get quite hot in summer but was okay in March.
3.2
Very welcoming
3.2
Comfortable beds, good pillows, nice duvets, clean room, nice staff and excellent location. Building is very pretty too
3.2
The hotel does not washing basin and water in the public toilet.
No elevator
Difficult for old and disable people
No refrigerator in the room
3.2
It was quiet, good location, staff was friendly.
3.2
Great little hotel right in the centre if London 10 minutes from King’s Cross 19/15 minutes from Oxford Street
3.2
Nice place to stay.
3.2
Although my single room was a little compact, it was very clean, with a modern recently updated ensuite shower room.
The bed was very comfortable with pristine bedding.
Great location, with helpful staff.
Although no breakfast provided there was plenty of local reasonable cafes.
I would definitily recommend this hotel and use again.
3.2
This is not a hotel and should not be advertised as one. This is more of a old and unkempt guesthouse. This is a one star property at best, but you would be better off finding literally anything else.
The room was small and musty. The electricity in the bathroom stopped working and we had to take showers using our cell phone flashlights.
We did not stay for a second night but the manager rudely refused to refund anything to us. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AVOIDING THIS PROPERTY
3.2
Or was a very small room for Four People. Very dancerous as no Way our in case of fire. Would not recommend. People were Nice though
3.2
This is definitely not a 3 star hotel, more like minus 3 stars. It is hugely dated, grubby, not been renovated for at least 20 years and the fire safety is questionable. The smoke alarm was taped over in our room. We were in the attic bedroom and most certainly would have broken our legs trying to evacuate down those stairs. I would really recommend staying clear of this property. It is a rip off.
3.2
Overpriced. Washroom was smaller than a closet. Couldn’t fit inside. No air conditioning. Fans from the 1800’s. Burnt out light bulbs. Hooks in wall not secured. Staff were very unfriendly when I brought a friend over. Said I could not. If I am paying $550CAD for two nights, I expect to be able to bring a local friend into the “hotel”. Book an extra 10 min out-you can get anywhere on the tube. Definitely not worth the money.
3.2
Good - Close to St.Pancras Station
Staff service Friendly
Not good - Facility is old.
No elevator and narrow stairs
Room Floor squeaking.
Acceptable - internet speed ( DL around 30Mbps)
3.2
Cramped room on top floor that would normally only be big enough for a single but a double was squeezed in .having to force door open and shut past matress .
3.2
The hotel is well sited for Kings Cross & Euston stations on a quiet side street.
However I was in a basement room with 2 short sets of stairs to get there and no lighting on the 2nd set. Not good if you have any vision problems.
The narrow room was clean with adequate storage for 2 nights. However 1 of the 3 ceiling lights didn't work, nor did the light above the bedroom mirror. The bathroom needs some TLC, starting with the radiator that did not work. I had to keep the door to the bedroom wedged open to get some heat in: needed as this was in December. The shower worked well but there was no grab-rail and no non-slip stickers on the shower tray. Another accident waiting to happen.
They didn't warn me that the room is above the underground and every 2 minutes or so a tube train would thunder along under the floor. Outside was a generator of some sort so there was a loud buzzing sound all the time.
Sleep was not easy but at least the trains stop late at night. However on both mornings someone thudded their way into the room above at about 4am then banged and crashed for several minutes then left. This pattern went on for at least 2 hours. This must have been someone working at the hotel because I can't see a guest behaving like this.
3.2
Room was very small and narrow but for the price and I paid and the location it was worth it.
3.2
Lovely staff, very clean and welcoming
HUGE TV. big comfy bed.
Only criticism is we werent warned that the doors will be locked after a certain time with no way in and no one to contact.
Luckily another guests dog needed the loo so we got in eventually but we were worried for quite a while that we would have to sleep in the car lol.

There is currently a large building site right next the property I got into my room 6am to get some rest. At 7.30am the hammering/drilling etc. The windows are single glazed and might as well not have been there in terms of noise prevention. So I got zero sleep and checked out 9am.
3.2
Try to avoid staying here even if it’s for one night, the place definitely needs some renovations done not only that but if you wanted to charge your phone you have to buy a specific port to do so. Overall this place was terrible.
3.2
It was great and nice places
3.2
In need of serious refurbishment
3.2
Just exceptional, clean, tidy, good customer service and great breakfast to fuel your day,, I stay here as often as I can during work in London. Would highly recommended.
3.2
I chose this “hotel” to spend a few days with my grandparents for vacation here in London.
Our room was terrible, it was very dirty in general. The carpet was disgustingly dirty, they never cleaned the room, they just made the beds, but also incorrectly. The room was very small and the bathroom uncomfortable.
The second day of my stay in the “hotel”, they didn’t provide us the breakfast, because they made a change of schedule without prior notice.
Every time we asked for touristic information about somewhere, they always behaved rude and never provide the information.
We are very dissatisfied of the quality of this place, and we do not recommend this place to anyone.
We stayed in Brussels, Barcelona and the worst hotel was this one in London.
3.2
First of all, the linen and bedding in general were spotless and very clean, and the staff were nice enough. Also, the breakfast wasn't bad. Therefore, I've given a 2-Star review.
However, the above factors are secondary to the primary objective of getting a good night's sleep!
In a nutshell:
-There is a loud sound EVERY few minutes which shakes the room. It is obviously the trains from the underground. The sounds die down at night and are now absolutely CONSTANT. YOU WILL NOT SLEEP past 6 or 7am. It's 7.56am as I write this (to post later).
-I can hear other guests walking around, plus can hear conversations very loudly and clearly. This "hotel" is basically a house with paper thin walls converted into a hotel.
-The WIFI is TERRIBLE! I have had one or two bars at best, and the signal continues to disappear for hours at a time.
-The room was slightly chilly last night; couldn't find a radiator or any heating switches. The bathroom is VERY COLD.
-You must hand in your key whenever you leave the hotel, though there is a 24 hour front desk.
3.2
Like: breakfast
Dislike: instant coffee at breakfast
3.2
Absolutely nothing like it says it is online. They will not let you keep your room key... extremely uncomfortable & did not stay there.
3.2
We were allotted family room on 4th floor , poor access , uneven staircases , uneven floor , difficult to climb with luggage
Slip while climbing
No help from reception , no lift , uncooperative staff
Room too small with poor distribution of electric socket
Shower room smelly and full of dirt
No public toilet
It’s a bed and breakfast NOT hotel
We left room after one night and paid for two night
Please let us know how to go ahead for complain and claims
Thanks for asking feedback
Regards
Jamjute

Friendly staff, and a pleasant comfortable room - we had a 4 person family room on the top floor. Didn't try breakfast so can't comment, but otherwise the hotel was very pleasant and I would stay here again.
