Ha, that photo is so far from the reality. My room was so dirty. I don't think anyone has wiped dust in 10 year. All radiators, shaower etc where caked in rust, no point putting your towel to warmup or dry there. Just grim. The advertised safe in the room didn't work, it was locked. I was later told they don't have the key to them. So don't expect to leave any valuables there. It was meant to have a receptionist, didn't see one until I left in the morning. So if you are lone femal traveller looking for a manned hotel, don't go here. I called the number twice given as contact and left a voicemail as nobody answered. NObody ever called me back. Absolutely shocking place.

The hotel is currently undergoing refurbishment, which is positive, but no effort was made to minimise the impact of that on other guests, and there was no acknowledgement from staff that building materials lying in corridors might be unusual. Our room was unrefurbished, meaning it was tired, and non-working lights exposes a general lack of care. Email communication is strange, with many and repeated messages about the check-in process, including AFTER the stay

The accommodation was in the perfect location for kings cross. A couple minutes from the station.
There was a delay with checking in but these things happen.
The staff were lovely and kept our bags for us while we went to explore whole waiting to check in.
The room was nice, it had a double bed, a sofa bed and a single, on suite and small kitchen area. It was great for overnight but If staying for longer the lack of an area to hang out would become an issue and the sofa bed was a little hard.
Decorating was nice but marks on the wall could do with a touch up with some paint in areas again nothing dramatic. Id stay again for the price. It was a warm and comfortable overnight stay in a great location.

It was really really really hot, there weren’t any staff around to help us other than some guy sat at a desk 24 hours doing his own stuff, the bathroom bin hadn’t been emptied and the tap in the sink in room 41 was literally coming off of the sink. It’s a good place to stay if you’re coming in and out and really really convenient (2 minutes from Kings Cross station). Not a lot of room, could barely fit two people in the room but it had a tea set, body wash, towels, a hair dryer and a TV provided.

Superior ground floor suite

Sadly, I didn’t read the reviews before booking but was seduced by the photos. The reality was unfortunately far from the promise. If you read other reviews you won’t be surprised at how shabby the rooms are. What confuses me more is the establishment know about the problems but as far as I can tell have done nothing to at least try to rectify the issues. It’s such a shame because the location is perfect for onward travel. I can’t imagine spending any length of time there, thankfully my friends and I spent just one night. The room was given a cursory clean, the mattresses lumpy and uncomfortable, the tv didn’t work, wallpaper was peeling, the curtain was half off it’s rail, the courtyard shared area had rubbish and an old towel left outside. It was very hard to find a positive and I just wish they would employ someone to sort out the issues and care about what they are providing. Be warned… do your homework, I certainly will in the future!

I do not recommend. Mouldy, damp and unclean.

Start to finish,
I turned up to the hotel and was asked a for a code I didn't receive and then he release I was a room with a key so didn't need a code. The key to the outside door was not working properly but I was told I just need to give it a few goes, in the end this key was not good enough. Once in the room I dropped of my stuff and had to head out. On my return I couldn't get through the door but another guest came and opened it with a code. Once back into he from I was about to have a proper look at the room. The walls had mould on, the corner and other areas had cobweb, the bin hadn't been emptied, there was a pair of knickers left in the room and the mattress had some plywood under as the frame was broken. I tried to call the hotel to change rooms as there was no one at reception but nobody answered the 3 times I tried. I managed to sleep. When I checked out I reported all this to the receptionist and they said they would look into it. I would not recommend this hotel as the price was the same as a premier inn which is always good quality and around the corner.

The hotel does not look like the picture. It is run down. I was there with my daughter and did not feel safe at all. There was constant movement around the hotel and up the stairs. For a solo traveller needed somewhere to sleep: Probably okay! But for a family? No.
The bed sheets weren’t secured on the bed and the mattress was dirty. The location is right near construction so it was not pleasant to walk around.
The window opened wide and had no safety barriers. Very unnerving.

Only stayed for 1 night and it was due to its proximity to the Eurostar which was fantastic, the bad points were to some extent not the hotels fault. It was a fairly warm night, high 20’s and couldn’t have the windows open due to the surrounding areas just being so nosy it was almost non stop sirens from the surrounding sreas and just general noise from the outside so had to shut the window to reduce the noise (not completely remove it) having the window shut made the room even hotter as there is zero airflow or anything to cool down the room, there was also loud banging from other guests every time a door was opened/closed and etc. I think if you do say here take some ear plugs and maybe only book for the colder months of the year.
The staff were polite and efficient, the location is a short walk from the station, the facility’s were dated and not In the best condition but the real reason I wouldn’t stay again is the complete lack of sleep that was had from the noise and heat.

Photo's are not an accurate representation

Like many others previously, the photo's draw you in and really aren't an accurate representation of what you're actually getting. Significant mould/decay around toilet flush, sink and mould spots on ceiling and bed base. Beds are lumpy and dated its just a basic double with a box base. Tvs are maybe 25 inch.

The pictures you are looking at are probably when it first opened years ago but nothing has been done in terms of repairs and upkeep. The only reason i'm not totally disappointed is because its literally 2 minutes from kings cross station and we didn't spend much time at all in the rooms

5.Light outside the entrance door covered with spiderweb.
6.No toilet paper and paper roll holder.
7.1 floor towel and 3 big towels on the first night. Host reluctantly gave us 3 more towels on the second night upon requests and specifying he will NOT provide us any more towels. I felt so bad begging for towels. One of the towels gave us on the second night were stained, disgusting.
Description of the hotel amenities is cheating, please specify towels only available on the first day ONLY.
8.Sofa and chair with yellow stains. potato chips found on the sofa and the floor, clearly no/rough cleaning or sanitzing work.
9.We got 5 hangers, 3 of them were from fitting room with logos and printed size labels.Crazy.
10.I travelled with parents age 65 , I deliberately asked the host for the no of stairs. They said my room is on the G/F with just 3 steps, omitting the up and downstairs along the corridor.

I requested extra blanket and pillow but when I asked at desk they were just telling me Hôtel is full. Eventually I got an extra pillow-
I also asked about an adapter and was told just bit one because people don’t return them. How about u put a pending charge on my account and when o return it you take back the charge? Many hotels in Canada do this type of thing for tv etc
Also speaking of tv the connection was spotty. We tried to fix it and unplugged it and re plugged it as it said on tv to do-
Also we were told water maybe best to buy. A complimentary bottle would have been great.
The coffee machine was great! I recommend putting bigger cups beside it as the small glass ones overflowed. I did find bigger ones in the cupboard.

Not sure how someone could stay there more than a few hours, to be honest. The bed was a cheap piece of rubbish too with a mattress that collapsed in the middle and some cheapo metal base which gave no extra support at all.

Okay for a short stay.

We booked here for an overnight stay with our grandchildren to visit London.

The price was very competitive for a family room.

It was nice that we had a kitchenette with sink, microwave, kettle & coffee machine.

A iron & ironing board are available and a hairdryer if needed.

There was also a patio door leading to a small patio area with seating, which was shared with the opposite room.

Unfortunately we had a problem with ants, which I guess can happen anywhere.

The room wasnt perfect, cleanliness couldve been better by sides of beds and underneath and rugs were poorly placed and a potential trip hazard (attention to detail)....Wallpaper coming away from wall...Not all lights working.

That said, beds were clean and comfortable.

The room itself is a good size with 2 double beds.

Bathroom was extremly small, it is a unit installed into the room, much like a caravan style, but honestly, if you just need a place to stop over at a reasonable price, its okay, though if you're like a size 2XL or larger, you'd have trouble trying to move around in there.

I'd rather have had this in the room though, than to share a bathroom with other guests, so that's something to bear in mind.

Bottom line:
I loved the art deco style of the room and outside area & having a kitchenette and somewhere private to get clean, albeit extremely small.

I was disappointed by the attention to detail, things that could easily be rectified without huge costs and the prescence of ants.

Convenient Location, Comfortable Stay, Fair Price

The room was well-equipped and reasonably priced, boasting an excellent location. It included amenities like air conditioning, a fan, lamps, a TV, and multiple power outlets. The check-in process was smooth, facilitated by a pre-sent keycode.

However, there are areas that require improvement. Positioned in the basement without windows, the room featured an \"artificial skylight\" to mimic daylight; unfortunately, one of the panels was broken. There were signs of dampness, such as blown-out walls around the electrical sockets and a musty odor. The shower lacked a holder for its head, complicating use in the confined space.

Noise and light intrusion were issues due to the adjacent hand dryer placement in the neibouring bathroom and the slamming of the front door, exacerbated by hard flooring and a poorly sealed bedroom door.

Despite these drawbacks, the bedding and overall cleanliness were satisfactory, reflecting the room's fair pricing.

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.

Good value and location. Bit small room though. The manager walked into the room without knocking to ask us when we was leaving completely unprofessional

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.

Nice enough property. Room on the small side and the bathroom average.

Value for money wasn’t great

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

You’re likely to end up having chosen a room in advance that you won’t be pleased with when you arrive. Hotels like this are the type you take only if you intend to have a brief stay in the area and you need to be near King’s Cross.

Nope don’t do it

First off I called before booking ask if it had electric parking. They said yes not far. I booked it. Electric charger doesn’t work and the guy said it’s not there problem. I understand that put pull that off your web page and not tell people it’s available when it’s not.
Another thing the bath room smelled so bad from the moment you stepped in the “family” room. It was awful. Front desk gave me a air freshener spray.
Hands down DO NOT BOOK.
There are other great hotels around.

The concierge recognized us as we entered and exited the property. They were very friendly. However the fixing for the room were not up to standards. They had only bath towels the curtains were broken. The bathroom was small and reminded me of an airplane bathroom. It was not a king sized bed.

Great location, clean and comfortable

The hotel is located close to Kings Cross Station. On arrival the reception was staffed and I was shown to my room. The room was spacious and clean with all the facilities listed on the website. Ideal location close to the station which was just what I wanted. Enjoyable and comfortable stay.

My room was a little concrete pod, for lack of a better word. It was not attached to another room, so very quiet. To get to it, i had to unlock the front door of the building, go out back, and unlock my room, so i felt safe there, too. The hotel was also convenient to the Tube, BritRail, a Hop On Hop Off Tours stop, bus stops, dining, etc. I was very pleased.
