Great location and fine for a short stay, we had a basement room so could hear the tubes underneath us but wasn’t too annoying. I’d definitely come back and stay here

Pleasant and helpful staff. Room was quite small and hotel was showing a bit of wear and tear but good enough for an affordable family stay only a few paces from Kings Cross.

Loved the location across from Kings Cross and St. Pancras Station. Property was clean and well kept with updated bathrooms and comfortable beds. Staff was very helpful and polite, and I appreciated the 24 hour staffed front desk. Nice to have small bar on site as well!

The smallest room I’ve ever stayed in in London. Clean but noisy - some industrial aircon blasting outside the window. €250 a night is a rip off.

To be honest, I was just looking for something close to the Eurostar at Saint Pancras, so I had a quick trip to the station for an early train the next morning. I was delighted to find a place with so much character and charm.
