Very tiny- no good for big or tall people I would say. But very comfortable, clean and cozy. I’d definitely stay there again. Also very convenient location.

Very small room. But it was clean and comfortable. We did hear door slamming in the hallway occasionally. Would suggest a spring loaded door stopper. Room was booked for 2 nights. Our flight from home cancelled due to faulty machinery. We were unable to make connections to UK as originally scheduled. I did pay extra for cancellation insurance. However, they will not honor it up to 2 days before checkin. We were able to contact them thru Expedia to hold room booked for 2nd night. We lost money on first nights room. Wish proof of flight cancellation would be enough to refund 1st night. Nice staff and place to stay at King's Cross. But they need to review their cancellation policy.

The room is small but has everything. They also offered to put my orange juice in their fridge. Love the shower, adjustable AC, and elevator perfect for heatwave days in the UK. Everyone who works at the reception is helpful and friendly; impeccable customer service.

From a comfortable, economical, and efficiency standpoint, this convenient Inn fills the bill! I’d stay here again. Great air conditioning for a hot, sweaty London day and walk to Kings Cross Station!

The room was very small, but I was traveling solo and did not spend much time in the room. TV operation was not normal and was confusing.

Doesn’t stand out as a hotel from the outside you could and I did just walk by. Such a shame because everything inside and staff I couldn’t fault. More labelling as a hotel needed

Great stay

I was slightly apprehensive before arrival after reading some negative reviews. However we had a pleasant time at the hotel and have no complaints. Although compact the room was clean, modern and new, and the air con was appreciated . The staff were all lovely and friendly. London hotel rooms are small and I think if you know what to expect you will be less shocked. The hotel was in a great location just 5 mins walk from King’s Cross. I would recommend the hotel and would stay again
