A lot of steep stairs. Helpful and friendly staff. Was put in a lower ground floor room with no windows and an air con system that sounded like a plane taking off. So had to turn it off while in the room. 2 fans were just about ok but it did have a bit of a smell to it. Ok for 1 night.

The hotel is a great cheap and affordable option when staying in London, despite it being a budget hotel the bathroom wasn’t overly clean with dusty floors and ledges. Amenities are soap, shower gel and coffee making facilities only. Room was quite bare and not very cosy. Having said this, the bed was very comfy and we slept really well! The hotel is quite and on a quite road too. We had an issue whereby we returned to our room late afternoon and the cleaner had been in to replace our towels and had not locked or closed our door. This was really disappointing and not safe given there are other rooms on our floor and the door was visibly open so could easily have had things taken. We did report this to reception staff. Otherwise an okay stay, for a budget hotel.

Small basic room but perfectly comfortable with a good shower in the bathroom. Bottled water and fruit was a nice addition to the room.
Can be a little noisy due to the lino flooring in the room.

Well, good location, and friendly staffs. In terms of comfortably, i will just give it a passing rate. No t realise the room without air-conditioning, and not even a fan. Take its location as a judge, will think value for money but cannot expect too much.

My taxi driver took me to the address you gave me. It was not as the picture. I got no response at the door. I tried at other numbers and found a bed at Global on the corner in the street. The owner requested £30. I paid that. The room was v. small, the bed the narrowest since my babyhood. There was one ceiling light above my face. The bed was clean, warm & comfortable. I slept badly, I needed to be at St Pancreas International at 06:03. I was.

I was able to check in an hour early and friendly staff carried my bag down multiple flights of stairs to the bottom floor as there is no lift. The room was very run down and worn but felt safe for very short stay. Unfortunately, when I returned from my evening out I found the room was overrun with about 20 plus ants coming out of the shower drain and the floor boards. I was disgusted and let the staff at the front desk know. He came to check the room and moved me to the only other room he had available as it was close to midnight.

The second room was on the ground floor but was another disappointment. The room was even more rundown but I stayed because I was getting an early train anyway. The bedding was dirty and had stains. I ended up sleeping in the cleaner of the two single beds. The shower was tiny and the door kept falling off it's runners. I had to lift it back in place to get out. I didn't see any more insects but felt uncomfortable with my stay and struggled to sleep due to how dirty the room was. I also ended up spraying down my bag with bug spray when I left as I didn't want to bring any friends with me. The window also didn't close and it was noisy all night.

I would not stay here again but the staff did seem to be doing their best to be friendly and helpful. The area is safe with lots of shops and restaurants nearby.

I was in a hurry in the morning or I would have asked for a full refund.

So the Argle square area is perfect for travel and accessing London 7 min walk to the train and underground at Kingscross but away from the main rds and in a leafy green street with a park , however be prepared for the shish pipe smoking drug takers happily relaxing in said park but they kept themselves to themselves, did have 1 concern even though on 1st floor bedroom window could easily be accessed and didn't close and lock properly room 107, just a chain across for security , felt a little unsecure. Rooms are small but everything you could need for an overnight stay for a low price for central london , ask for hairdryer at reception if needed not in room but available. Unsure if an Iron available on same terms as didn't need one all in all good stay for a good price and luggage stored free pre and post check in/ out was a bonus too 😀

The hotel is perfectly located for Kingscross and eurostar..
Literally across the road.
Staff on the helpdesk friendly and helpful at check-in and leaving.
Room small but adequate for a short stay.
Room very warm but after turning radiator off was perfect.
Bed was comfy and clean bedding.
Bathroom small but ok again for a short stay.
Shower was powerful and good.
TV ok, tea and coffee provided.
Kettle spotless.
The hotel is ok for a short stay.
Decent price for location.
It needs updating and is shabby in places, but you get what you pay for.
I'd stay again.
We visited for a theatrevshow, a concert, art gallery and shopping, so we only used the room at night.

We were only staying one night, we had a room on lower ground floor, Lots of stairs,be warned , No sooner were we in our room the smell of sewage,I told the manager, they kindly moved us to another room 3 floor, which was ok clean , had nice towels but 4 tall flight of stairs, For that reason I don't feel I would go back there and it's dose not feel the safest area ,when walking around, but very close to the train station
Positive The staff were very polite & helpful under the circumstances, even helped us up with our bags to the third floor.
We did leave at 10 to 5 in the morning, was difficult comming back down stairs

I had a good stay overall. The bed was really comfy, which made it easy to rest after long days out exploring. For the price and location, it’s hard to complain—the hotel is conveniently near King’s Cross Station, which connects you to just about everything in London, and we were even able to do a Big Bus Tour and walk to a stop to get the tour started. Staff was quite helpful in getting us situated with the power plug situation.

That said, there are a few downsides. The water can take a while to heat up at times, which was a bit inconvenient. The rooms also aren’t very soundproof, so noise carries easily. I could hear staff vacuuming and other sounds late at night, which might be an issue if you’re a light sleeper.

Overall, it’s not a bad option for a short stay, especially if you plan to spend most of your time out exploring the city rather than in your room.

The location is perfect and very central I tend to stay along here when visiting London and the price is good. Feels very private too and the hotel staff are very friendly. The rooms are basic, for what is needed - there was a few wear and tear things like a patch on my wall has been re- plastered and not painted and the wardrobe door was abit wobbly, but it’s an old building and these things will go so it’s not an issue. It was very clean, however a few hairs in the sink, not like in a gross way - it’s like someone has cleaned it and their hair has fallen in and not noticed. Would recommend just checking over before exiting the room. But would recommend anyone for budget friendly, location, amenities as it had coffee tea hair dryer etc and the bathrooms were super modern
