Room was basic but comfortable. 2 Light bulbs not working in bathroom. Hospitality trolley only had 1 cup but another was added after asking. Complimentary water would have been a nice touch. Hotel in a perfect location for our needs and a reasonable price.

Good stay! Room was super tiny, but we were only stopping through for a night, and it was super close to the train station, which is what we were aiming for. Staff made check-in and check-out super simple.

Great staff but rooms need some work
The team at the hotel were excellent and very helpful but the condition of the rooms and bathrooms is not great, the images on the site are a bit misleading. It was quite difficult to get the shower to run hot and the first room we were shown had the curtains falling off. The staff were really helpful though and changed us to another room, can’t fault the service at all. Unfortunately the pleasant green square you see outside when you look on the map is currently a building site with excavations taking place which is noisy during the day too.

Lovely hotel. Stayed here 1 night after returning from Disneyland. Hotel is across the road from St Pancreas Station. I was exhausted when we arrived back around 10pm. Room was beautiful, lovely comfy bed and hot shower was very much appreciated. Fridge, microwave and coffee machine plus kettle was an added bonus. Would highly recommend this hotel.

It’s was a very pleasant experience and the staff were very friendly and very caring, we had accidentally forgot the insulin in the fridge for my son and the staff made it a priority to reach us out and stayed until we were able to pick it up, we were grateful and happy with the staff

I'd look elsewhere
Its possible there are some decent rooms in this hotel. Mine wasnt one of them. Reception was nice and staff seemed friendly enough. Room was in poor condition with a smashed plug socket, wallpaper hanging off, bathroom very small and no shower curtain so everywhere got soaked when you took a shower. Metal camp bed looking thing with a cheap matress and 2 very thin pillows. I dont like writing poor reviews as ive run businesses in hospitality and i know how reviews affect business. But this wasnt a particularly pleasant stay unfortunately and one id not look to repeat.

OK for the price, could improve at same price
Service was friendly and engaging. The hotel's pretty nice, and really handy for Kings Cross. The room was OK for one. A bedside lamp would have been a helpful touch. Please don't put the TV directly under the air con - it was dripping condensate onto the electrics and will do so again. I raised it with staff, who have resolved to fix this.

This guesthouse is fine for a one night stay. It was expensive for the quality of the room but rates in London are high so I suppose they are in line with the market - that said it wasn’t good value for money. Room was tired, there was a mug with a broken handle, no beside light (batteries missing), tiny pod-like bathroom, none of the decor matched. Didn’t meet any staff but the instructions sent to enter the building / room were clear and there was no issue with access.

This is the worst vacation. The hotel room: 1. It should not have the license to operate as a hotel. There is no cleaning service. 2. No toiletry, no towels, no cleaning service. We have to beg for someone to give us toiletry and towels and other repairs when we paid for a hotel room. What is the point of renting a room when I have to fix the broken things myself? 3. the exhaust fan does not work most of the time. when it does, it blow in air. 4. Wall paper is falling off the wall 5. The curtains are falling off the hooks 6. The TV does not work most of the time. The internet does not work when we first check in. The owner reluctantly rebooted the wifi router before our phones can connect. Prior to that we were told our phones are broken. Where is the motto, the customer is always right? 7. The sorry excuse for a couch/ chair is falling apart. 8. The sorry excuse for a rug has seen so much Wear and tear that the color has faded to spotty colors. Forget patterns. 9. I book for a room with 2 king beds and a ensuite. Instead, I got 2 double beds with no bathroom space. It would have been illegal in the US. 10. The hot water pot is so filthy that I had to wash it myself. Upon trying to wash the pot, I ended up cutting my fingers and bled for a while. It was a close call to try and find a hospital. How is it that we are doing the same things here when we are supposed to be on a vacation?????? What kind of service industry does the owner think this is? Do we loo
