For £70 a night this is a really good find for 5 mins from Kings Cross station. The room was not huge, but not problem small, everything was clean and a few small pack of biscuits is always appreciated. No complaints and the best of several hotels I have tried in this area. More

Myself and a few of the boys stayed here, we were expecting something from the film Hostel but were pretty surprised. It wasn’t the Taj Mahal but no one was expecting that. Place was clean enough, had a nice kettle, few bickies, towels and stuff were changed even though we were only there for two nights. Hardly a place to... More

So we booked this "hotel" without really looking into more details and trusting their website pictures... What a mistake! We arrived late and when we came to our room we did not know what to do - everything, from smell to the sheets was so disgusting! After checking the sheets closely we found spots of blood on them! It seemed... More

Clean, basic rooms for close to budget price. Location a little further from Kings ross than other budget hotels in the area. Breakfast was very basic, only cold croissant and some toasts but the coffee was excellent. If it was £20 cheaper it would be great. More

This place looks great value but actually isn't. I'd have been better off spending a few more pounds so I didn't feel depressed and claustrophobic in this very poor room... never ever ever again will I believe laterooms.com More

This hotel looked like decent value at £64 per night for a single room and breakfast. The pictures posted on Hotels-London.co.uk gave the impression that the rooms were clean and moderately modern. However, when I got to my single room, it looked like a prison cell, furnished with second-hand very basic, not even shabby-chic furniture. It was very depressing. The... More

Went with open mind after reading previous reviews but it was a short walk from Kings Cross, we got there earlier than checking in time and got into our room, the room was in basment with very large window and three beds, basic I agree but more than ample room, the bathroom/shower was small but adequate. Breakfast was excellant, it... More

This hotel is cheap by London standards at £84 per night but if you are using Kings Cross or St Pancras it is a perfect location. On the positive side the sheets and towels were clean and there was copious hot water. The washing facilities were all clean and the shower worked perfectly . Being on the second floor at... More

Definitely Kings Cross is the one of the best places to stay if you're visiting London and this Hotel is a few minutes from the Tube and train stations and St Pancreas International Station. But the good thing about this hotel finishes here, as the rooms are dirty, the carpet smelly and the toilet, like from petrol stations on the... More
