A slight step up from a hostel

The photos on hotels.com show much larger rooms, our room was only 3 metres wide at the largest width and 1.5 in the smallest (as the bathroom cut into the room) bed was short, if you are over 5ft 8 your feet may hang off the end. They have no air conditioning and given the very hot summer the UK has had it made the nights uncomfortable, you need to leave the window open which means you get all the street noise. The place overall was very noisy, you can hear upstairs and the room next to you, the park next to the hotel is noisey at night and you can hear drug deals going on. There is no facilities no laundry etc, they offer luggage storage which is you leave your luggage in the lobby out in the open, given the front door is not secure (no key or card entry just push to open) is really a risk. The only upside is it is close to Kings Cross for transport ease.

Very small room, no lift and drain issues.

Very very small room with poor window, so it can be noisy. No lift in the hotel with very narrow stairs to carry luggage up/down. Weirdly the sink is not in the bathroom and issues with drain smelling.

Nice enough, but better options in vicinity.

Walking distance from Kings X station. Room on third floor. Can imagine it would be a real struggle if you were with suitcases. Thankfully we only had a backpack, but it is still a bit of a climb (no lifts). Nice large bathroom, bed set against wall, so not good for access/getting up without disturbing partner if wallside.

The room was very small but cosy, it had everything needed to sleep and have a shower. Take into account there is no elevator. Walls are thin so it’s easy to hear the neighbours’ noise. The hotel is very conveniently located near the train station, in a nice street in front of a park. The staff is kind and friendly.

Mouse droppings?

All was good, everything looked clean, tidy and cozy. Although, Im convinced I was woken up at 2:30am in the morning to a mouse in the room as I was hearing the bin bag being rustled, but i didn't see anything. Chalked it off to gravity initially pulling something in the bin, but checked around in the morning and did find mouse dropping on the floor. I was on the bottom floor so Im not sure if they got in easily. Didn’t mention anything on checkout as I thought I was overthinking it, but I regret it now after thinking it over.

The property has been fairly recently developed so the furnishings are modern and everything is new, neat and clean. My room was in the basement, which I didn't love, as the view out of the window was of a yard and staircase that really needed painting, but at least there was a window, which basement rooms don't always have. Considering you are so close to Kings Cross, the area is very quiet and as a solo female traveller, I felt quite safe.
London hotel rooms are ridiculously priced at the moment and this was at the more reasonable end of the scale. The room itself was tiny but that didn't matter as it had everything I needed (ensuite, kettle, tea/coffee, biscuits!, toiletries), somewhere to hang clothes, somewhere to sit.
Breakfast was available for £7.99 but I didn't have it so can't comment on that.
I stayed two nights and the towels were changed for the second day, which I didn't feel was necessary, so the hotel could save themselves some time and money there, as well as helping the environment.
I recommend the hotel and would stay again.

Everything was pretty good, as expected. The room was quite tiny, but I booked a single. The amenities were quite nice actually and the bed was comfortable and I slept well.

If your goal is to be very close to King's Cross St Pancras (a major transit hub), and not spend a lot of money, then this is a fine choice.

If you're looking for fancy, this isn't it. But it did the job and met expectations.

The hotel is very well located being so close to King's Cross St Pancras but I would advise against staying here. The rooms are tiny and have no storage space. There is also no working WiFi despite claims to the contrary - every visitor was complaining that wasn't working and the staff just shrugged their shoulders and said nothing could be done. Awful service and disregard for guests.

Lovely gem at Kings X

Thrilled with our stay here. The room was clean, looked recently re-done and very modern, comfortable bed and nice touches.

It is clearly going through some renovations in the downstairs area so there was some noise in the daytime on Friday (however at very reasonable hours). Will stay again!

When staying in London you get what you pay for. You can’t expect a 5* experience in a 1* hotel.
This hotel is VERY much on the cheap end of hotel accommodation. In rating it therefore, the positives were location (the hotel is very close to St Pancras tube). The bed was VERY comfortable. The sheets were delightfully crisp and clean and the towels were white and fresh. The bathroom was small but very nice ( it looked fairly new) and the shower in particular was very powerful. There was a good sized TV and plentiful tea and coffee. For me, the negatives were the condition of the reception and the decor of the communal areas. It all looked really untidy and in desperate need of redecor. As such, I was slightly perplexed when I first checked in. Nevertheless, I had a pleasant stay. The hotel has probably spent available resources where it most matters - the room itself.

Good base to explore the city

Stress free check in. Rooms are definitely smaller than they look in the pics. The room itself was one of the cleanest I’ve seen. However if you’re looking for a base for a short stay in the city close to most transport links & bars/restaurants. Can’t go wrong. Some building work going on around the hotel but obviously can’t be helped.
Overall I would definitely stay again when back in London 🙂
