The hotel room was quite narrow, making it a bit tricky to move around, especially with the TV mounted on the wall. However, they provided a fan since there was no AC. The room was spotless, but there was a constant buzzing noise at times.

The room was quite narrow due to the layout, and the TV on the wall made it a bit tight to move around. The provided fan was helpful, but the constant buzzing noise was a downside. However, the room was spotless.

The hotel's location was ideal, just across from Kings Cross and near St Pancras station. It's great for both work and leisure, with easy access to public transportation.

The hotel rooms were modest but clean, comfortable, and cute, albeit lacking proper sound insulation which made it hot and noisy due to tube trains passing by. Breakfast was limited to cold meat, cereal, and toast despite the listing stating otherwise. The service from the reception staff was exceptionally kind, helpful, and changed our perception of London for the better. The location was convenient, outstanding for hopping on the tube, with small rooms near the St Pancras Eurostar terminal. The dining experience offered good value with croissants and homemade yogurt but was quite basic overall.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was excellent, right by Kings Cross and St Pancras, making it convenient for transportation. However, the room I was allocated was tiny and tucked away in the basement, with a view of the courtyard used by smokers, which wasn't ideal. The service, especially from the night staff, was warm and accommodating, adding to a pleasant experience.

Rooms
5.0
The room I had was small, located in the basement at the back of reception overlooking the courtyard, and the noise insulation was not great. The layout felt like a maze of paths and stairs.
Service

The staff, particularly the night shift, were incredibly bubbly and welcoming. They went out of their way to make my stay comfortable and were very understanding of any requests I had.
Location

The hotel's location is fantastic for those using the station, although the soundproofing could be better. Being close to Kings Cross and St Pancras is a definite plus.

The dining offerings were basic but sufficient. The breakfast provided was simple, which suited my needs in the morning.

The hotel had standard facilities, nothing extravagant but functional for a short stay.
