It is what you pay for. Very conveniently located spot in London for a short trip. If you are looking to stay for more than 2 nights I would recommend a different hotel. The rooms and bathrooms were clean. And again for the price wasn’t bad at all.

This hotel is 3 minutes walk to King's Cross, but is on a quiet square. The room was clean, the bathroom spotless & smelt of bleach (a good sign!), and the bed comfortable. Sounds between walls was a bit noisy, but nothing terrible. A great little find when passing through London, will stay again.

You often get what you pay for and this was the case with the hotel. It cost £62 with an en-suite for two single beds for one night and although it could do with modernising, it was clean and provided a good night's sleep. Bedding, towels, bathroom were all very clean. Staff were very polite. It was down the road from King's Cross Station so a good location. Tea and coffee and a TV (signal intermittent) were also provided. I would recommend a stay.
