The room was okay, and housekeeping cleans daily (some hotels stopped doing daily cleaning after the pandemic). My stay was quite long and I wished the room had more hooks or spots to hang things up in the bathroom or near the door. The wardrobe was my only option and when it rains in London, I don’t want to hang my coat up with my other dry clothing in the wardrobe. Other than that, I only wish the temperature could be controlled in the room. The radiator was on the whole time, walking into a boiling room was too much. We used the fan in the room constantly. Opening the window didn’t do much help. Staff was nice and helpful though. We experienced a power outage in our room that left one of the lights not working after it was back up a minute later. Told the staff in the morning leaving the room and once we came back it was already fixed.
Central and convenient location. Clean in general and friendly staff. In need of some redecoration. Room was facing a busy road and was noisy in the night. Mattress was beyond its lifetime.
Convenient location and clean. However the walls between rooms are thin/badly insulated and traffic noise from what is a busy road made sleeping very disturbed.

Not as in the photos
In photos looks much better than the actual room. Hair on bed sheets, not very clean.
Overall, decent price for London ,for a room for two, with bathroom, bargain.Does the job.

Check-in was efficient and welcoming. George was on reception and a really lovely guy, polite and courteous. Our room was a small twin room on the 3rd floor (there was a lift). Compact bathroom with shower and toilet. Kettle, hair dryer provided with sachets of tea and coffee. Flat screen TV with Freeview. Simple, clean, compact room, perfect to use as a base. 5 minute walk to Kings Cross and lovely pubs minutes away. Camden Market is a 35min walk. Will definitely stay again when back in London. Thank you George!

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.
