major building work nearby. Seemed to be a large group of men congregating regularly during the day in the small park next to the hotel. Could be intimidating for some people. Hotel itself very nice, with pleasant staff..

We arrived and went to our room. The bathroom lights and the power plugs were not working. I notified them and they moved us to a room without ac. The beds were like futons, the wood floors were worn off stain, bathroom shower had black mold in corners. The decor of our room was unmatched. The area was quiet and very convenient to kings cross station.

Felt like I was staying in a hostel. It smelled like a dank gym locker. We weren’t sure if it was dead bugs or dust in the sheets. Directions were confusing for checkin. Did not feel safe

Back to basics
I suspected when I booked that it was a basic hotel. However if you have a basic hotel, you must get the basics right. Very few channels worked on the TV. The shower temperature could not be regulated and was far too hot to use. So this did little to help. Having said that, the staff were outstanding and were so helpful.

I requested extra blanket and pillow but when I asked at desk they were just telling me Hôtel is full. Eventually I got an extra pillow- I also asked about an adapter and was told just bit one because people don’t return them. How about u put a pending charge on my account and when o return it you take back the charge? Many hotels in Canada do this type of thing for tv etc Also speaking of tv the connection was spotty. We tried to fix it and unplugged it and re plugged it as it said on tv to do- Also we were told water maybe best to buy. A complimentary bottle would have been great. The coffee machine was great! I recommend putting bigger cups beside it as the small glass ones overflowed. I did find bigger ones in the cupboard. Over all ok I guess for one night close to the station.

The property was in a great location although situated opposite a park frequented by homeless types who were noisy throughout the night. The reception and staff were faultless. The room was clean, but tired and sparse. There was no plug in the sink, the shower head was broken and a lat or two missing from the window shutters.

Convenient location but nothing else good to say.
The room was tiny beyond belief with no ventilation or even a fan during a heat wave. The bathroom was miniaturised - even the toilet was smaller than normal! The smallest handbasin ever too. Oh and all the corners of the shower were thick with black mold. I have seen worse hotel rooms in London, but not this century!! Not sure how someone could stay there more than a few hours, to be honest. The bed was a cheap piece of rubbish too with a mattress that collapsed in the middle and some cheapo metal base which gave no extra support at all. Avoid!!!

Okay for a short stay.
We booked here for an overnight stay with our grandchildren to visit London. The price was very competitive for a family room. It was nice that we had a kitchenette with sink, microwave, kettle & coffee machine. A iron & ironing board are available and a hairdryer if needed. There was also a patio door leading to a small patio area with seating, which was shared with the opposite room. Unfortunately we had a problem with ants, which I guess can happen anywhere. The room wasnt perfect, cleanliness couldve been better by sides of beds and underneath and rugs were poorly placed and a potential trip hazard (attention to detail)....Wallpaper coming away from wall...Not all lights working. That said, beds were clean and comfortable. The room itself is a good size with 2 double beds. Bathroom was extremly small, it is a unit installed into the room, much like a caravan style, but honestly, if you just need a place to stop over at a reasonable price, its okay, though if you're like a size 2XL or larger, you'd have trouble trying to move around in there. I'd rather have had this in the room though, than to share a bathroom with other guests, so that's something to bear in mind. Bottom line: I loved the art deco style of the room and outside area & having a kitchenette and somewhere private to get clean, albeit extremely small. I was disappointed by the attention to detail, things that could easily be rectified without huge costs and the prescence of ants.
