"We paid for a superior king bed, but got two beds shoved together, loosely, that one could fall between. The room shower was hot and fast, rarity nowadays. Breakfast was delicious, plenty of options."

"Small room, noisy close door to door."

"Close to Kings Cross station"

"Very basic hotel - small rooms, few amenities, for example no fridge, no tissues, etc Breakfast was a hot and cold buffet but a very basic one. "

"Room too small and elevator too small to bring luggage"

"We had an issue with our bathroom door and shower head squirting water upwards. But staff came to try to fix and offered a room change however only there for two nights so didn’t bother. Was ok for short stay we worked around it "

"Room security - good, neither I or the staff could open the room door on arrival. Took some time to resolve, but we got there in the end. Plus side, if you can't easily access with a room card, it's pretty secure against would be thieves. Heating/air-conditioning - Room had it, and it looked like a fairly new system, but when I put it on to head the room, it absolutely stank and left a bad taste in my throat, so had to go without. Bathroom - shower was good, clean & powerful, but rest of the bathroom looked a bit grubby. Rust around mirrored cabinet, mold on the ceiling tiles, bad fittings (shaving light wonky etc). Fridge/tea & coffee making - fine for what's needed. Bed - awful, ordered a double bed but couldn't sleep on it as the springs had gone. Giant dip in the bed. Told the front desk, they advised me to use the single bed in the room instead (which I had to do). Also, both beds are camp beds, so felt rickety and make noise with each movement. Sound proofing of room - zero, and my corridor had laminated floor, so added to noise. I packed ear plugs and used them, but was still disturbed by people banging doors, walking past and talking. Deposit - you have to pay a £100 damage deposit on arrival. Caught a few people out who were checking in before me. Made me think of the inbetweeners movie when there's a hotel fine for pooing on the floor... You get what you pay for. But location is good."

"Great location with easy walking to Kings Cross and St Pancras stations. The reception staff were really friendly and helpful and stored our luggage overnight since we had an early train the following morning. Nice bar open 24/7 to residents and plenty of eating and drinking places in the area. Highly recommend."

"Good value for a place so close to King's Cross/St. Pancras. I liked the pod-like controls for lights etc. Very comfortable."
