Dangerous bathroom

Room was ok. However at 6pm a leak flooded through the light fitting in the bathroom onto the floor. It was so dangerous that I didn't have a shower in the morning.

Very convenient and good value

Very convenient if you want a place by Kings Cross. I took a small single room with en-suite at a very reasonable price and that is exactly what I got. As a plus the staff were extremely friendly. If you are simply looking for a good value overnight stay in a very convenient location then this is your place.

It was nice, but the beds were uncomfortable and the breakfast didn't have a whole lot of options and was $15 a day for breakfast. It is close to Kings Cross so it was nice for convenience and McDonalds was right next to Kings Cross so if you wanted a larger Varity for breakfast you could just go there.

A decent room for a decent price

I was looking for a decent but not too expensive room for my short stay and this hotel - very close to King Cross - was perfect for it. Don't expect a 5 star room but if you want to be in center of London and have a ggod night sleep it is perfect for it.

I'm surprised this qualifies as two stars

Check in was easy. There is no lift, so if you are less able bodied or have heavy luggage, be prepared to carry it up as many as three flights of stairs. Check in concierge was a bit aloof, but overnight concierge was pleasant. For the room, one of the worst beds I've slept in. Sheets clean but dust behind bed head (I was looking for plugs). Two towels provided but no foot towel for the floor, so the bathroom becomes very slippery if you take a shower. Shower head holder on the wall was screwed in too close to the ceiling, so you can't engage the shower head in it to take a shower. Kettle lid was broken, so the kettle wouldn't turn off when boiled. Only one cup was provided despite booking a double room for two.

The bathroom exhaust was noisy. Also, the sink wouldn't drain well. The breakfast was meant to be served from 07.30 but they delayed it, so i left without having breakfast. Wouldn't recommend.

Tiny room with tired decor and shower room which was just about big enough to use, would be acceptable for half the rate charged
