If you are looking for a place to stay in central London, close to the train station and metro station and are trying to manage a tight budget, than this a great place to stay. The rooms are small, but nice and clean. The service is good. More

We'd booked a basic double room by phone (we live in Iceland) but when we got there we were told that they'd got us/me down for a single room. Still, that turned out to be no problem, although they wanted a booking conformation which I'd never been sent. The room was small but OK, heavy curtains and facing away from... More

I booked this hotel for my family in Nov. 2011 through a web site on which reviewers purportedly gave it 3 out of 5 stars. It was the worst hotel I have ever been in, and that says something. It seemed to have served a long, tired life as either a place where kids rent rooms to party, or people... More

Stayed only one night but I have to say it was very clean and very good for kings cross station as it was only 2 mins walk, staff were excellent, they allowed us to check in early at no extra cost. For £74 for a double room you get what you pay for, the room was very small and nothing... More

Basic hotel, not like the photos on the web. Okay for very short stay not good for people with mobility problems. Breakfast served across the street in a basement. Very helpful guy on reception desk. More

Had a weekend down in London to see a gig and a bit of the city so really wanted somewhere budget, close to tube/train stations and not over-priced. This placed ticked all those boxes and we were pleasantly surprised at how clean and comfortable our room was. The bathroom was immaculate with bath and shower, bed was really comfy and... More

I was in London for 24 hours on business, and needed somewhere close to the city centre - this hotel is less than 5 minutes stroll from Kings Cross station, it was clean, had friendly staff, and seemed well kept. The only down side for me was that breakfast was yuckily basic - instant coffee and "yellow label" type cereals... More
