The place is a little gem in Kings cross. The staff is amazing, very attentive and kind. Easy checkin, they have a lift. comfortable beds. Room was very warm. I have stayed here before and this place never disappoints. If you are looking for something central at good price. This is where you should stay.

Cheap and to be expected, 5 minutes from Kings Cross, good. Staff ok, cleaners friendly. Warning that the lift was out of action for our stay. Room was tiny, and cramped, couldn't get around foot of bed, and in need - like most of London - of a decent refresh. tB fine but so little room. Shower only, bathroom again tiny, if functional. Nice to be able to leave bags on last day, but anyone could have gone in, said "I have a bag left" and wandered out with whatever. Front desk staff didn't care.

The elevator was out of order the entire time we stayed there, so we had to carry our luggages to/from the 2nd floor where our room was located on. The staff were nice and friendly. Our room (especially the bathroom) was so small you could barely get around without hitting yourself on something. The location is decent and is close enough to King’s Cross station (about 7-8 mins walk).

See the reviews regarding bed bugs and called to speak to them as my son has hypo-allergic skin and the staff member I spoke too was completely unhelpful with no empathy, he was restrictive of me speaking to management and felt completely uncomfortable with what I had read just before checking in. For customer service within a hotel it was appalling.
