Fine for a night
Stayed here for 1 night before getting the Eurostar. Room was OK, small but fine for one night. Dust everywhere, I don’t think it had been cleaned properly for weeks. We stayed in the Lower Floor, it rained heavily in the night and I was awoken at 3am to a loud noise of running water outside and a smell of sewage. I think the gutter was broken and drain had overflowed. On a plus note, bathroom was lovely.

Great stay
Th staff were extremely friendly and polite. The room was perfectly clean, tidy and modern. Also the bed was very comfy and the bathroom was very well equipped. The only issue was very minor, there was some construction work going on that was quite loud from around 8am. Although the checkout time was 10am, so we were up anyway.

The (single) room was very small but very well organised. The bed was very comfortable and the room very clean. There wasn't a good signal for the TV so not all channels were available. The reception staff were friendly and efficient. There's no lift. It is convenient for Kings Cross station

Was ok, couple of annoyances
Check in and out was an absolute breeze, location is good for Kings Cross Station. Was clean and bed very comfortable, air con was great. Did have a couple of issues to be aware of though, the room and bathroom was small, to the point that the bathroom door has been removed totally. Was only me so no privacy issues. However, the extractor fan in the bathroom was on constantly and was noisy, when it wouldn’t switch off I’d seen the isolator switch to try and switch it off so I could sleep - the isolator switch did nothing so the fan was just hard wired in. The room did have a bit of a smell, but not to the point I’d make a big issue of it.

Not happy guest
When we arrived the front desk manager wasn’t friendly at all . The hotel room was just a basic room a bed a table and a bathroom . The bed was very comfortable! Only one plug socket worked in our room . We got woken up by a fire alarm early in the morning ! I would not stay again the same manager didn’t let us leave until proof of id even though we both showed ids yesterday. The AC in the room was nice . Definitely over priced for what it is !!!

We stayed in a 4 person room. It had all been recently renovated. Room was a little tight but most London rooms are so adjust your expectations. There are some nice nuances such as a light over the mirror where the hairdryer was. Bathroom was fully renovated but was a tiny bit damp but we were in the basement so that could have been a factor. Overall I would stay here again.
