I'm afraid I must disagree with other reviews here. Irrespective of how cheap a place is, you must always have certain expectations - especially in the modern world. My room was on the top floor, up a very narrow staircase (no lift)...which I'm sure would be a problem for many. The room itself smelt faintly on cigarettes, as did the... More

I stayed one night in a single en suite room in January 2012. Overall it was OK. The reception staff were very helpful and pleasant. I arrived early in the morning expecting to just leave the luggage but they let me have the single room right away which was really nice. Maybe because it was mid-week in a low season... More

We found very little to be enthusiastic about with this hotel. We were in the tiny ground floor room with walls like tissue paper, noise from everyone that went up the stairs and cheap, battered room furniture. Everything about it that we saw was cheap (except the price), from the awful, sagging bed and terrible pillows, through the bed linen... More

My mom, nephew and I stayed in a triple room for four nights at the end of Nov 2011. I could not have asked for a better room (two twin beds on the floor with a loft bed up above, which my 11 yr old nephew thought was great!) Plenty of room and the bathroom was sparkling clean. I had... More

This hotel is in a great location...steps from the Kings Cross/St. Pancras tube station. Reasonably priced for it's central London location and clean.My daughter and i stayed on the lower level with shared bath across the hall. There was only 1 other room here so it was relatively quiet. The breakfast was served quickly, but the dining room is very... More

Really friendly service throughout my stay - the single I booked was a box room but had everything you need! the shower on the next floor up is a bit dated and could do with a refurb - but the high point was the tasty, hot, plentiful breakfast served quickly and by a very efficient waitress. I would definitely stay... More

I just spent 2 nights here with a friend in a twin room. Unfortunately it was in the basement! It was small and dated but ok. Most importantly it was spotlessly clean. I did get woken a couple of times with pidgeons getting stuck in the area outside our window! I was looking forward to breakfast after reading good reports... More

This was my second time at the Hotel and as expected it was an excellent stay. Great breakfast, ideal location, very friendly staff and all you would expect from a good London B&B. Would recommend to all. More

This hotel is fantastically positioned near Kings Cross/St Pancras...literally a 1 minute walk. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We needed a taxi in the evening and they sorted one out finding out how much it would be in advance and even waited outside for it to arrive then letting us know. Everywhere was very clean, including all the... More

The hotel room was small but comfortable, clean, quiet, wifi worked fine, heat worked fine, the full English breakfast was a treat served by friendly staff and there was even a sign on the wall encouraging you to order seconds if you like. It was close to Kings Cross/St.Pancras station so very convenient to get around. It's in a nice... More
