This location is perfect for inter-Euro traveling, since St. Pancras is right a ross the street. The staff were nice and I stood here the night before and after my short trip to Paris. I’d definitely recommend to others.

I stayed for only one night. Mobility issues limited the rooms they could offer me. It was a tiny single room, but it was designed to look cosy rather than cramped. The furnishings were really pleasant and of high quality. That, coupled with cleanliness and a good bed, led to a comfortable night's sleep. The staff were helpful. The location is brilliant for an early trip to St Pancras International, just minutes away. I found this hotel altogether very good value.
