Liked: Cleanliness
This wasn’t a proper room, there was no proper window, just a sealed up door directly onto the pavement with a radiator running in front. This was effectively part of the original hall of one of the converted houses. Road noise and conversations from the pedestrians who were actually only a metre or so from the bed made sleeping almost impossible.

The rooms are a little tired, but fully functional. If you have realistic expectations, it’s a great choice.
Tiniest room I ever stayed in. One bed, not a single chair or table, modest bathroom

Property very basic, but clean. Had all we needed and was nice and warm.
Was fine for one night.
Could have done with another pillow.
Staff very helpful, and friendly.
Unfortunately the lift was broken the weekend we visited but could go up to next floor and walk back down or straight up which wasn't too much of a problem, and the desk staff took up our luggage for us.
Disappointing for the amount of money we spent. The room was tiny and cramped.

The place was pretty run-down and the facilities were very basic. The photos of the room made it look much better than it was. There was a mouse poisoned trap tucked beside one of the beds! For such a central location (just a few minutes walk to Kings Cross Station) it was very convenient and the price was reasonable. Just disappointingly dingy.
An adequate hotel . Plus factors are price, very close to kings cross, St pancras and Euston.Slightly run down in appearance but room was clean enough and staff pleasant. Would stay again
