What people say

Hotel was great value, loved breakfast, awesome location. We were advised by cab driver on the way to hotel, that it was in bad neighborhood. When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised. Maybe not a great area, but we found it excellent for price, location to Kings Cross Tube and value for our money. Loved it...would stay again. I am a travel agent and would definitely recommend it. Hotel was easily accessible for all amenities we required during our stay. Hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Very clean, friendly staff, good location. The receptionist was pleasant and efficient. Some of the lights in the room were dead. When i told the receptionist, he immediately replaced them without any fuss. The breakfast table was well supplied, though we did not partake of much. Close proximity to Euston and King's Cross stations a big bonus. It was a typical British Bed and Breakfast - old but very clean. Perfect location for exploring London.

Cheap for the centre of london.Staff were really friendly and happy to help, room was clean, nice and warm. The hotel offers really good value for money, the breakfast was great and the location is superb. Ideal for solo travellers. The room has all you could expect, tea, coffee, TV, internet etc. Hotel staff was very friendly. The breakfast, while not haute-cuisine, was very nice considering it being included in the price. The room was cosy and clean. It was quiet, too.it was a stop over between the north of england and esex for a mother and daughter who were meeting to go on to brussells, for all round service it was very acceptible. Very helpful staff, answered for all our queries, good breakfast compared to other london hotels of 2 and 3 star accmodations and 1 minute away from king's cross tube.the hotel is in a good position, close to Kings Cross, it has good staff. The room was clean with good en suite facilities, in all excellent value for money. Very close too St Pancras, excellent breakfast, was happy with the locker room where we left our bags after we checked out and collected them later. Staff great, free fax to Ausralia!

Refurbished room very pleasant and comfortable.Staff very polite and helpful, good breakfast, room fairly quiet and adequate for short stay. Clean and tidy. Good reception staff, good location. Value for money, would stay again. . The room was small but comfortable with plenty to eat at Breakfast. great location, friendly staff, comfortable accommodations. I stay there regularly and I like the friendliness. very clen and cosy, felt comfortable and secure. Close to the underground. Location. Clean. Most of all we loved the bathroom under the stairs! The whole place had a delightful atmosphere, generously welcoming and well-organised. Compact yet airy, warmly and colourfully decorated with some nice artworks around the place. It is not the Ritz but for the price, it was lacking in none of the facilities needed for a comfortable stay in the big City. We would recommend it to anyone - and will. Thanx. You do get more than what you pay for. The rates are low, but the rooms are above average, albeit a little small. Hence, I paid a little more for a double room for myself and it was perfect. :) Breakfast (all-inclusive) was excellent for the price too. Complimentary coffee/tea and free flow food. Staff was polite and personable. Nice to have single room with a double bed, own bathroom and breakfast included for about the same price as similar towels charge for small single room with share bathroom. Close to St Pancras station.The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Particularly Delia who followed up on a request for me in a friendly and timely manner - thank you!. staff very friendly, rooms clean, breakfast excellent, easy to use so near Kings Cross and luggage room was exactly what we needed. A friendly staff and a great traditional english breakfast. The hotel isreally near from the tube. Location, location, location. Staff were extremely helpful and the breakfast was good.Friendly and helpful staff.Able to leave luggage.Welcoming atmosphere. Good breakfast. room facilities clean bedding and towels tea and coffee making facilities. Nice, tiny room at excellent location with nice people. It's location - very close to the station.Comfortable clean rooms, breakfast good. Location,luggage storage,breakfast. more facilities in the room. Helpful staff. Very good value for money. Plenty of tea and coffee provided. Good basic english breakfast. Luggage store meant we were able to check out but spend another full day sightseeing before collecting our bags and heading off home. Location, immediately opposite Kings Cross railway Stn. Great for early starts. Clean, warm and well decorated.The staff were very helpful and friendly and the breakfast was excellent. We also had a nice sized room. Its location was very good- near King's Cross; the staff were friendly and the room was good value.Airco would be nice. Plugs were few in the room. Had to unplug one appliance to put another.The en-suites are odd, perfectly functional but they do not constitute a separate 'bathroom' if you see what i mean. Ideal for a short stay (I stayed 3 nights) but not an addition of luxury to the room. The bathroom was a bit cold.The lack of a lift (being on the 4th floor). Breakfast not great.Single room booked for friend too hot and impossible to control. The shower in room 409 did not work.breakfast was hot but not very tasty- coffee was good and hot though. room for improvement at breakfast, felt it was cold, could bee a bit hotter , enjoyed it tho..Its decor is old fashioned. The Stairs..especially if you're in the 3rd floor.Rooms were a little small. Pay a little more for a double room for yourself and you're good to go, you won't regret it. Nowhere to hang towel in bathroom.The room is a little small. Rooms are not the best but that's reflected in the price. Creaky floorboards!. unable to get extra pillow as hotel full and none available. Limited facilities in room/bathroom (but anyway, it was good value for money). Booked family room but was unavailable when we arrived. We did have two rooms next to each other which was acceptable.There was a lovely lounge with a bar but the hotel is not licensed - it would have been nice when we got back from our show to relax in the bar with a drink. Location, immediately opposite Kings Cross railway Stn. Its not the best area in London. The rooms were small but hey you sleep there.The plumbing was a bit noisy at times but it did not disturb my sleep.
