    The welcoming staff assisted with our luggage and provided great dining recommendations, making our stay much more enjoyable. However, the absence of a lift was inconvenient, especially when carrying heavy bags.

    delicious breakfasts
    small rooms

    Just a solid selection for a holiday in London with value for price. The breakfasts were delicious and a great start to the day. Careful with the stairs. they are narrow and there's no elevator, so plan ahead.

    great location
    cramped bathroom

    Had a great time with friends! We visited the British Museum and checked out the weekly Flealondon market. The location was handy for exploring everything, from parks to shopping. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with fantastic amenities. The staff were friendly and helpful. Grab a spot if you're keen on easy access to sights!

    One downside was the cramped bathroom. it felt too small for comfort, and had minimal toiletries.

    challenging accessibility

    The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made my stay enjoyable, while its excellent location near Kings Cross was a great convenience for exploring London. I appreciated how accessible the hotel was, making my experience stress-free.

    Steep stairs might be challenging for some seniors.

    spacious family room
    clean modern bathroom

    Great spot right by Kings Cross! The family room was surprisingly spacious, and having two single beds for the kids was a lifesaver. Clean modern bathroom and friendly vibes all around.

    Felt truly looked after, no complaints at all.

    great location but limited amenities

    The location was extremely convenient, just a short walk to St Pancras. The nearby Kings Cross subway offered easy transit options.

    Amenities were somewhat basic for my expectations.

    narrow stairs
    limited space

    I loved the location! Right across from Kings Cross station, made getting around a breeze. The room was cozy, but those narrow stairs were a bit tricky. Overall, a solid experience! 😊

    comfortable bed
    helpful staff
    convenient location

    the location is perfect, located just opposite kings cross station, which is super convenient for getting around. the bed was very comfortable, and i appreciated the helpful staff at reception, who provided an extra towel when i needed it. having space under the bed for luggage was a nice touch, too. total immersion in a new destination is therapy for the mind, heart, and soul.
