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 😂

A lovely room, everything was spotless, possibly just been refurbished. I had a wet room, towel a bit on the small side but manageable. New kettle, no biscuits 😔 A LOT of stairs!

Hotel okay for 1 night. Building works across the road affecting our sleep. Bathroom very small. Hotel breakfast is in a different hotel along the road, so we had to adjust our timings to accomodate. This wasn't mentioned on hotel info. Breakfast was good though.

6/10

This was fine for our one-night stay to catch a train to Edinburgh from Kings Cross Station. The room: small, on an upper floor, which made it quieter (but the luggage schlep was not so fun). The bathroom: en-suite, but down some awkwardly placed steps. It was clean, the staff were kind and helpful. Nothing extra special but nothing bad either.
1-night trip

10/10

The staff was so helpful and kind. We were exhausted after our long flight and they helped us get baggage downstairs, reserved dinner seats for us, and were over all just great. The accommodations are pretty basic but clean and well located if you need to leave from St. Pancras-literally up two buildings and across the road.
1-night trip

8/10

nicely laid out reception. Spacious room with comfortable bed. Excellent location for Kings X access. Would use again without hesitation.Stayed at several Kings X area hotels and this is one of the better ones.
1-night trip

10/10

Perfect location, lovely room. Was offered a ground floor room or a third floor room and opted for the third floor to try a minimise any underground/street noise which was perfect! I was travelling alone with my 6 year old daughter and felt welcome and safe throughout our visit. She thought the reception desk was really cool!
1-night trip

2/10

The smells in the rooms are horrible and there is no air conditioning. Very uncomfortable room with a disgusting bathroom. It is a maze of multiple stair cases to get to your room and you can hear everything from the other rooms.
1-night trip

10/10

Great hotel, in a perfect location, and for a very reasonable price! I would recommend staying here and would consider staying here again!

The hotel was right by the tube and Kings Cross station. There’s an amazing Indian restaurant nearby and a corner store. We were warmly greeted and given first floor accommodations. Location is awesome!
