The room is small but has everything. They also offered to put my orange juice in their fridge. Love the shower, adjustable AC, and elevator perfect for heatwave days in the UK. Everyone who works at the reception is helpful and friendly; impeccable customer service.

The people at the front desk were nice and friendly. The room was clean but small. I wasn't able to sleep well for a few nights due to the noises outside the hotel. The housekeeping service needs to do a better job in providing amenities because a facial towel and a shower floor mat were not given to us after the cleaned our room for the second time during our stay.

Doesn’t stand out as a hotel from the outside you could and I did just walk by. Such a shame because everything inside and staff I couldn’t fault. More labelling as a hotel needed

Older hotel, but in good condition, rooms were good size and clean, staff on the front desk were really friendly. Area around the hotel isn’t the nicest especially on an evening- it’s 8 minutes walk to King’s Cross, which was conceived for our early Eurostar.
