Flithy Place

The Hotel shouldn't be called a hotel more a dirty hovel. I have no idea how the are able to function legally with the standards they have. Dirty, double room was a queen size bed with a mattress so lop sided we had to sleep top to tail in a queen size. There was never any staff at reception to complain to and there was noise all hours of the night, banging and shouting. Not seen curtains that filthy in my life. Glass bottle tap water in the room, god knows how old? Do not waste your hard earned cash there.

For under £85, it's central, quiet, walkable to King's Cross st, the underground, shops and restaurants. Even the slowest of walkers wouldn't take more than 5 minutes. It's clean enough, abit tired. Rooms are pretty small but for central London, it's absolutely ideal. And it was a great price. Would absolutely stay again!

Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in! Disgusting!

The worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at! It’s run down in every way you could imagine! There were dead flies on the walls, some Alice felting around the room! There were hundreds of ants all over the floor and on the bed! I killed loads and then they appear again. Notified the hotel. Water dripping from the light fitting in the toilet which was hanging down and off. A real musky/dirty smell in the room. Bed sheets were clean but stains over them. The bed base was metal and could feel the middle of the bed metal through the middle! Will never stay again! Ever
Ants all over the floor, not just in this location but throughout!
Light fitting loose and constant water drips from the light fitting. Unable to attach a video
Ants on the bed! When I got back in they were all over it
Flies all on the walls and flying around

The room was ok, comfortable clean apart from a few tiles at the bottom in the shower, very close to King's cross/ St Pancras (5 min walk) and Euston (11 min walk) loads of places to eat around the area. Be warned this is not a high end hotel hence the price but it will suit your needs if you're travelling from any of the stations i mentioned, on the whole a good place to stay.

The accommodation had a musky smell which was being masked by air freshners in the hallway and room. The room was clean enough. Could do with freshing up the decor (white wash) as the walls and skirting are dirty looking. The shower needs a fresh seal and mould in the bathroom needs addressing. Room 6!

Nice enough hotel.

A nice enough place. Friendly staff, great location. Five minutes from Kings Cross station, underground and bus routes. Yet, surprisingly quiet during my stay. Clean and tidy room, but a bit small for me, especially toilet/shower/sink crammed into a really small space.

Poor hotel

Had to wait outside and ring bell for access to the hotel. No answer. If cold or wet it would be much more of a drama. Called the hotel no. Which rang and rang. Eventually answered and told the receptionist was out and would return soon. It was the same chap who left as we arrived, but he didn't think to let us in while he popped out. Tiny, tiny double room. One sided access to bed. Extremely small bathroom. Couldn't access or exit the shower if someone on the loo or using the basin. Smell outside reception from loos. Stair treads narrow and rather dangerous. Whole place feels really cramped and a bit of a dangerous place if there was a fire. Plug in room wouldn't accept a plug. Not satisfactory at all, even for £67 odd quid.

I originally planned to stay here for two days, but the first day's living experience was too poor and I went to stay elsewhere the next day. There is no elevator, the stairs are very narrow, the guest rooms are small, and as soon as you enter the room, there is a strong smell of disinfectant, and the sound insulation is not very good

The property needs upgrading. The corridor so tiny, difficult move wirh luggage. No waiting area. The room not spacious. Need for effort on cleanliness. The good side of the property is that it is close to amenities and about 5 minutes walk to KingsCross station.
