Basic room but perfect for a one night stay. Brilliant location over the road from kings cross and at pancras and being able to drop your bags off meant we weren't lugging them round all day

Staff was nice. Would have loved a heads up when our room was ready to check in as we requested an early check in. But staff happily stored our bags. Room was clean.

8/10 Very good

Room is small with limited space around the bed, some people may struggle with space between bed and radiator. Sink in the bedroom rather than bathroom obviously due to the space an available. Didn’t eat there but had a night cap, bar operated by reception staff, which is quite nice to end evening. Just 5 minute walk to St. Pancras railway station, plenty of places to eat nearby. Would definitely stay again the night before getting Eurostar train.
