8/10

Nice hotel, good size room, clean and tidy. Only issue is we had a room on the ground floor close to reception so very noisy particularly on a morning.
3-night trip

10/10

As a solo traveller I enjoyed a fabulous stay in one of the hotel’s single rooms. Comfortable, stylish and well equipped, I’d thoroughly recommend this accommodation.
1-night trip

6/10

Room was nice and clean. Sofa bed was not very comfortable for my children however. We had a room on the top floor which was up 3 flights of stairs, obviously without lifts this was very hard to get to with luggage as the last set of stairs was very steep and tight. Breakfast was a strange experience, firstly we had trouble finding the breakfast room located in the college over the road, secondly it felt like we were back at school and had to be quiet whilst we were eating which was difficult with 2 children and thirdly I don't think it was worth the amount we spent on breakfast to be honest. Location was not too bad although we were expecting it to be a bit closer to Euston.
1-night trip

8/10

This was a great hotel option. Convenient and lovely. But heads up— there is no elevator. If you have big luggage, thick can be hard. Staff were amazing and helped us with our suitcases. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed our stay!

3-night trip

10/10

Very nice clean accomodation. Staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. Room was well appointed and clean. Would have been better if we could have worked out how do cast to the TV, instructions were given but it didn't work. Coffee machine seemed to be a bit temperamental. But small niggles, generally a very decent hotel. Best thing for us was the location, which was quiet, down a wide leafy street opposite a children's park. Lovely, quiet and safe. Ten mins walk from Kings Cross/St Pancras and ten mins from Russell Square and British Museum.
2-night trip

4/10

The experience was not great. The WiFi barely worked, cut out nonstop. Do not plan to work if you stay here and need internet. No elevator. Travel light, otherwise - may end up lugging a heavy suitcase up 4 flights or stairs. The 4th floor is quite warm and the fan sounded like a lawn mower.
2-night trip

Fabulous, comfortable and caring. Great stay!

Stay in their townhouses next to University. Quiet neighborhood. Near British Museum and train stations.
5-night trip

10/10

The room was clean and everything looked new. We needed to go down the stairs from the back of the reception and go up the stairs to our room. The staff were friendly and helpful when carrying the luggage.

Very convenient to Kings Cross Station. Wonderful staff in a pretty cool location.
3-night trip

10/10

I had to laugh at the name, but it turns out it is the last name of the person who started the hotel and the college. It was a short walk to the British museum, which i recommend. Lots of character and very comfortable.
2-night trip

10/10

Just a 10 minute walk from Kings Cross. Property is down a very quiet street which is rare for London. Lovely, big bed and great shower. Only a short walk to Russell Square/Southampton Row, where there are ple ty of pubs & restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our mini break
