10/10 Exceptional

The staff were very helpful and knowledge and friend
Mustafa, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

check in no problem. check out no staff there, had to leave a note. Room 29 had dirty window frames. Towel rail and toilet roll holder very rusty, wash basin also. No spoon for tea/coffee. Tea coffee holder was dirty. Towel was thread bare with bits coming off it.
jacqueline, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Fun family one night stay

Super wonderful staff who were friendly and amiable. A small issue with a non-working code was sorted swiftly and in a very professional manner. If you have a dodgy back or sort joints the mattresses might not do you any favours but the room was perfect for a family of 4 about to go on holiday
Naomi, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not what you see

Does not look like what it does on the pictures. Meant to look boutique-esk. We esstentially had a box room. No water, no service, a bed squished up against the wall and bumping into everything.
Tilly, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Poor value for money hotel

Disappointed by quality of room which was in the basement next to the street. Very small considering the price paid.
Antony, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Down side: One of the double beds was a broken camp bed. Broken window in the room. Shared patio which we didn’t know before we went and it was filthy, cigarette bits etc. no coffee in the room. Overall a but random. Up side: Staff were really helpful. Great location for Kings Cross. No coffee provided in the room or reception Okay for one night. I wouldn’t have wanted to stay longer sadly.
Helen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place

Really good stay for the night. There were no towels provided.
GEORGE, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Very uncomfortable bed. I would have paid more for a premier inn just to have an AC and comfortable bed
funmi, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A quirky property with lovely hosts. Has a great nights sleep.
Jen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Close to Kings Cross. Staff were helpful and pleasant. The room was small but very clean. It was great for one night but would not be great for a long stay as there was very little storage for clothes- no hangers , plus the mirrors were too high to look into so it was impossible for shaving, makeup, hair etc.
Janet, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Dirty

Welcome was friendly, room dirty, bathroom also dirty no toilet paper, bedroom window dangerous frame coming apart! Definitely in need of a good clean and refresh!
Beverley, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Superior ground floor suite

Sadly, I didn’t read the reviews before booking but was seduced by the photos. The reality was unfortunately far from the promise. If you read other reviews you won’t be surprised at how shabby the rooms are. What confuses me more is the establishment know about the problems but as far as I can tell have done nothing to at least try to rectify the issues. It’s such a shame because the location is perfect for onward travel. I can’t imagine spending any length of time there, thankfully my friends and I spent just one night. The room was given a cursory clean, the mattresses lumpy and uncomfortable, the tv didn’t work, wallpaper was peeling, the curtain was half off it’s rail, the courtyard shared area had rubbish and an old towel left outside. It was very hard to find a positive and I just wish they would employ someone to sort out the issues and care about what they are providing. Be warned… do your homework, I certainly will in the future!
Deborah, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Wouldn’t recommend.

The hotel does not look like the picture. It is run down. I was there with my daughter and did not feel safe at all. There was constant movement around the hotel and up the stairs. For a solo traveller needed somewhere to sleep: Probably okay! But for a family? No. The bed sheets weren’t secured on the bed and the mattress was dirty. The location is right near construction so it was not pleasant to walk around. The window opened wide and had no safety barriers. Very unnerving.
Shenel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good base right near to kings cross, the guys were really friendly. We found some other residents quite noisy but this is no fault of the hotel. Room had everything needed. Were able to leave bags on check out to pick up later, really helpful.

Great location! I love the self check in and check out. We could also leave our luggage the next day as we had a late train leaving london. The room was very practical for everything you need and in a great location! Would I stay again - yes!

We were travelling to Brussels from St Pancras Station, needed a place for just one night, coz the train was early in the morning, hotel is just 5 minutes walking distance, very convenient, would recommend for very short stay.

Good stay! Room was super tiny, but we were only stopping through for a night, and it was super close to the train station, which is what we were aiming for. Staff made check-in and check-out super simple.
