Too loud for a decent sleep
Theres is no sound proofing from the building site outisde. Also you can hear people on higher floors walking around and slamming doors, really hard to get a good night sleep.

How to build a hotels I've stayed in this area this hotel needs updating it is really old versioned and even the rooms are tired and old and there is no lifts or disability access for those reasons it should be much lower in price as it is not worth the price

20 Oct 2024
Basic at best
Bed sheets clean and beds relatively comfortable. Location very good and not too noisy.
Room and whole hotel very basic and hasnt been decorated since 60s, maybe?!
Room tiny and very hot and stuffy. Ensuite aweful! Lots of mould and mildew, not clean at all. Shower head diagusting, yellow mould all over!
Cheapest in area we could find for 3, but still massively overpriced and wish I spent £75 more for premier Inn!

Great little hotel
A great little hotel only a few minutes walk from King’s Cross / St Pancras stations so it’s a great location for exploring London. Friendly and helpful staff, quiet location and a comfortable bed made my stay very enjoyable.

Solid value
If you are looking for comfortable value, this is perfect. Very clean but small rooms — ideal for a solo traveler just looking for the basics. Very friendly front desk and easy walk from the Kings Cross tube.

You get what it says a room with a bed and somewhere to wash. Nowhere to eat
