Weekend stay

The hotel is a short walk from St Pancras station so very convenient. The rooms are compact but very clean and well equipped. We were out all day so just wanted a comfy bed in a clean room with a good shower, so this is exactly what we got. The reception offered snacks, toothpaste etc for sale at reasonable prices along with some breakfast items for those who didn’t want to eat out. Staff were friendly and helpful and we were able to store our luggage so we could make the most of our final day and collect bags on the way back to the station.

Great location

Fantastic location within minutes of St Pancras. Rooms clean, freshly decorated and well appointed. Bathroom / room small but no different to other city hotels. Staff super friendly. Great for short stays.

Liked it was close to St Pancras as we were using it to go on Eurostar. The staff were very friendly and hrlpful.The only negatives was our room was right by the shared toilet so we heard the door quite loudly during the night. Plus you can hear other guests and their doors which cick shut loudly. Not the hotels fault as its an old building but some guests on our floor were back and forth in and out of their rooms and to the toilet til around 3am! And the other was lack of a lift but that was only due to us having three suitcases, the stairs are narrow and we were on the third floor. Overall it gave us somewhere to stay overnight close to our train station and it was relatively cheap.

Wonderful small hotel, perfectly located for Eurostar & all London public transport. Friendly efficient staff, luggage storage on request, quiet accessible rooms, all in all the best hotel we've stayed in in central London. We're coming back next week. Loved it.

Room was small, but this is typical of Llondon hotels. It was very clean, and the beed was good. However, the consisten lack of elevator in these small hotels with their steep narrow stars ,are a problem for older guests. It i s important to request a room onthe ground floor if you have any kind of limited mobility.

Pleasant and convenient.

I have stayed here before. It is so convenient from Kings Cross and I like the early check in time. Both times I have stayed, my room has been ready even earlier. Reception staff are friendly. Rooms are small, but clean, comfortable and quiet. Secure luggage storage.

For a budget option where I just needed a place near the mainline stations to sleep this was great - everything I needed for my basic requirements. What impressed me the most was the service of those at the reception desk. They were very pleasant and helpful.
