This property is one of those you have to come back and think what made you pick it. Staff was very friendly and location was great but the property itself and the condition of it was terrible. The expedia description said this room is air-conditioned but there was no way there was ac installed anywhere. Luckily for us the weather was rather cold in May and there was no need for ac. The size of the bathroom was too small, it was a struggle to do anything in there. The shower had mold in some sections of the doors. The room was crowded with beds, nothing else could fit in. Very claustrophobic experience. There are other properties in the same location, they were 20-40 bucks more a night and at least from outside they looked like a proper hotel. I really hope this isn't London standard at this price range. Will not be coming back.

Staff rude did not act professional, bad service not friendly. On expidia advertised on website was private bathroom but after I paid and confirm by email then things had changed and did not have private bathroom on email, then I called Expedia about this took me over 1 hour to talked but still end up not have private bathroom and the expidea kept saying the website was said share bathroom. In the end they said they give me £25 voucher back to use within 24 hours! Which is mean I had to pay the new hotel and lost money from this hotel I had already paid. Really disappointed with Expedia The room I have was behide the counter it looks like a staff room! And the place did not like hotel it looks like a flat. Never come to stay in this place again.

It’s a basic hotel - not for anyone wanting the lap of luxury, but it was clean, comfortable and very well located for anyone travelling from Kings Cross. For £80 a night it was reasonably priced.

Dismal and shabby
Room looked like a basement had been partitioned. Walls were paper thin meaning we could hear the conversation next door into the small hours. The room had not been cleaned and the duvet was thinner than Kim Kardashian’s nighty. The heating didn’t work. I would have minded if it was cheap but £143 is a bit much for something so substandard. Travelodge up the road for £120 would have been a better option.

We are both lawyers and we will certainly be calling the health inspection agency to attend to this hotel. We were travelling internationally from Canada as a couple. We checked in Nov 1st after a long day of travel and stayed for half an hour before leaving. We booked this place because it was “cheaper” in the London area and because of the location. The pictures they have do not represent what the place actually looks like. It is really like a bad hostel. It was super dirty and tiny. We pulled wads of hair out of the rug. The walls were splattered with unknown substances. The furniture was in rough shape. We booked a new hotel for double the costs and when we respectfully told them were leaving they didn’t have much to say. We said we would pay for our first night but asked for a refund for the following two nights and they wouldn't entertain that. Just pay double the cost to stay anywhere but here.

You get what you paid for bearing in mind that London is an expensive city. The room was small, a bit grubby and run down, but location was great. We read the reviews after booking and to be frank we were expecting much worse- yes there is nobody in the reception most of the time, and yes you will have to carry your own bags, but this is London- street noise was minimal and there were no loud drunks during our stay (but we werent there for the weekend). If you intend to visit the city and not spend any time in your room other than to sleep then this might be a good option- we had a family room for 4 including 2 teens and it was ok. Ear plugs are recommended.

First when we arrived nobody was in the reception, had to ring few time until someone came, just to notice the reception is in the building and you need to wait outside, in fact the reception was empty during our all our 4 days stay, if something happens like you fell off the stairs or you need help you must make a phone call. The hotel is very small in poor condition, stairs feels like falling apart, room is so tiny, the walls are dirty, the sheets were torn and my kids bed was uncomfortable as one of the springs was put. The bathroom is so so small and the walls have mold. Very disappointed with the overall feeling. Poor condition. We will surely not come back. Doesn’t worth the amount we way for sure.

Our room was the worst we stayed in our whole trip. It was tiny and was filthy. Walls were dirty. Bathroom carpets and walls all needed a desperate cleaning. No water bottles in room, except for a reusable glass one which there was no way we would attempt to drink from that given how the the condition of the room. Shower was gross and water would not drain so you had to stand in a pool of dirty drain water. The ironing board had a large stain on it.

Worst place I ever stayed
The place was rundown and old. Small rooms and the bathroom was barely large enough for us to fit. Couldn’t have been larger than a closet. Dirty walls, no elevator. Had to drag 50lbs of luggage up to third floor up a winding staircase. Limited amenities, old rusty kettle to make coffee in the room. Housekeeping never changed the sheets the whole week we were there and did the minimum cleaning and refreshing of the room. Last day of my stay, we had no electricity in the room. Couldn’t use any plugs or lights as nothing worked. Went to complain and ended up checking out still with no power. Paper thin walls. The night before we left, the couple next to us was having intercourse and it sounded like an x rated film. Summed up, very disappointing stay for the amount we payed. Would definitely not recommend. Don’t stay here. Find a better option especially if you’re staying longer that a day. The only good thing was it was close to the train station and there were some decent restaurants around. Otherwise it was a complete dump.
