This hotel is very centrally located and only a short walk from King’s cross station. The room was small but well laid out as there was space under the bed to stow your bags. The budget double room would be better suited for one person and not two people but the location of the hotel, the friendly staff and clean rooms made up for the size of the room. Would recommend.

We stayed in the hotel for one night as we had a flight to catch the following day. The staff were very friendly and made us feel really welcome and although the room was small it was very clean and very comfortable. The room didn't need to be any bigger for our needs. The hotel was also in a great location very close to Kings Cross station and near some lovely bars and restaurants. My wife and I wiukd definitely stay in this hotel again.

VERY comfortable bed, able to open window for ventilation and leave a/c off, very quiet at rear of the hotel. Very clean. photo of room was misleading because there was nowhere to hang clothes - apart from directly over the kettle and coffee tray where they would easily get splashed or stained.

A great little hotel in a great location. 5 mins walk from Kings Cross St. Pancras. I have stayed here twice, in the same room and liked it very much. The single room is small but fine for 2 days / nights. There is a good burger house on the corner as you approach the hotel and plenty of other ethnic food places too. Vietnamese, Italian and good old MacD's and KFC. You will not go hungry. The rates are good, the staff are friendly and helpful and overall I can thoroughly recommend it.

I am giving this hotel a back handed compliment. From the outside I thought it looked very tired with windows looking very old and paint peeling etc. It's in part of Kings Cross that is trying very hard to leave it's somewhat murkier past behind. However, I was greeted by a really personable guy on reception who speedily checked me in. The double room whilst small, the bed was decent and they managed to maximise the space available with a brand new bathroom (bit tight between the sink and toliet) but as I said seemed very new and very clean. This is one of the better budget hotels I have stayed at. I would book again given all the above and it's proximity to music venues, Kings X etc etc etc. Oh and bus stop right outside the front door towards Chancery Lane/St Paul's and onto London Bridge
