We knew when booking that this was a budget hotel but we found it to be very good value. While rooms are small, they are clean, bed is comfortable, ensuite clean and appears as if recently renovated as shower, tiles etc look brand new. Rooms cleaned every day and fresh towels. Tea/coffee making facilities in room, hairdryer supplied. English breakfast... More

The hotel location is really good, right by the biggest station (kings croos/sant pancras), there are convenient stores around as well. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was ok and included in the room fee. Toilet was not working well (the flush was kind of broken).

Location: It's within two minutes' walk of St. Pancras/King's Cross. If desired, especially to reach the Tube, there's a subway (underground walkway) to avoid having to cross the busy Euston Road. There are fast food and convenience stores for quick meals in the station and throughout the area. Of course, being so close to the Underground/Rail stations makes transportation easy.... More

There are things in favour of this hotel. It is very cheap for London (£70 for a double en suite inc breakfast). It is 50 metres from St Pancras International and underground. Our room was clean and recently refurbished. Free Wi fi However, we had a 3rd floor room and there is no lift - and breakfast was in the... More

Amazing location - we travelled in and out of London alot throughout our trip, so it was really convenient having St Pancras/Kings Cross so close by. In terms of the space, don't expect much. The rooms and bathroom are small, and the furnishings were quite dated. The beds and pillows weren't the best either. Also, do note that there isn't... More
