Convenient location and clean rooms

Very convenient for the stations. Stair areas are quite shabby but the room is comfortable and clean. Plenty of amenities. There is no lift so a room on the third floor gives you a good workout.

Useful location

This hotel is conveniently located by Kings Cross station, and the communal areas are quite stylish. The rooms was comfortable but a little bit tired. Despite being near a very busy part of the city, the noise was minimal.

Great location. Room had everything you needed, it was a basement room so couldn’t open any windows.

Great location/Terrible mattress

Great location! We stayed on the 1st floor and it was obvious that the tube was right below us as we could hear/feel it but it wasn't too bad. The mattress however was terrible. Otherwise it was a nice enough hotel with a cute patio area.
Lisa, 1-night trip

It’s a secret!

Always stay here if we can when on a short London trip. So convenient and staff are lovely. Don’t want to publicise it too much otherwise it’ll get too popular 😂

Hugely Dissappointing- check you get correct room!

Paid for large room, received small room next door to reception. Got about 2 hours sleep, it was unbelievably noisey with doors slamming, the bed was rock hard and all in all really disappointing. The only positive is the hotels proximity to the train station.
Alison, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very friendly staff that let us store our baggage before check in. Our room was very tight for a family of four but it was surprising to get air con, so that made up for it. Not the fanciest but adequate for a
Emily, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great hotel, clean, spacious rooms, close to many things in Rotterdam. The neighborhood is tricky though with drug addicts standing close to the front door both in the afternoon and in early night. We did not feel unsafe, but uncomfortable, yes Knowing this I would not stay here on my own. I know the hotel can not help this bit it is factor to consider.
