I loved the convenience of the hotel's location, just a minute from the tube station in a quiet area, right beside Kings Cross station. The rooms were cozy, with the bonus of a lockable safe in the wardrobe and although the pillows were a bit flat, it was great value considering the prime location and shared toilet. The dining could have offered more choices, but the service was top-notch. The easy access to transportation and railway stations made exploring the city a breeze.

I was pleasantly surprised by how cozy and charming this hotel turned out to be. The rooms were simple but comfortable, and having my own private bathroom for an extra £30 was definitely worth it.

I found this hotel to be a great choice for my stay. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and the compact bathroom was convenient. On a lower level, the setting gave a cozy feel, though having a shared bathroom and toilet may not suit everyone. The location near Kings Cross station was ideal, providing quick access to transportation, just about one minute away, and the quiet area made for a peaceful stay. The dining experience, with a selection of toasts and the option of hot sandwiches, was satisfying and quick. Overall, the value for money was reasonable for what was offered.
