Pros:

Cheap (ish) for London. It's a converted townhouse so rooms small, but clean and functional. Decor is dated, but when you're out and about all day and you just need somewhere to sleep...perfect. Clean bathroom, comfortable beds.

Be warned there is no Aircon, so the rooms can get stuffy and hot.

Pros:

It was fine for what we needed. If you don't mind lots of steep stairs, the attic room where we were was small but adequate. Rather dated but clean and friendly.

Nicer than expected. Shame about the cold shower
Pros:

The room was surprisingly roomy and was clean. I was only staying one night after a business meeting and didn't really spend time in the room, so didn't need any amenities.

The one big let down is that there was no hot water, so had to take a cold shower in the morning.

Pros:

Have stayed here many times over the years when it was owned by a private family but now it is run by a company. They have discontinued breakfast however it is well run and good value for the money particularly because of the excellent location

The room was too hot! Only tiny fan. A small window opening into a courtyard. Felt suffocating

Never again!
Pros:

The whole place is basically a staircase just as wide as a small suitcase. The current carpets are probably layer 5 which makes it hard to even walk straight on the soft floor. Add luggage and the narrow stairs... not for old people. Then the rooms... I will not even comment on that. I'm an engineer, so I found a way to keep the upwards sliding window open. No water bottle in the room, not even for sale in the reception. Takes about 20 mins for the toilet to refill 3 times to flush the poo... and that same lack of waterpressure goes for the tiny little shower.
This is the most overpriced hotel I ever came across on my 26 years of travelling all continents. Good luck!

Pros:

Images on line dooesn't reflect the actual rooms. Single bedroom is just a corridor with a single bed, table and ensuite. TV broken. The loud rumble of the underground train kept me up most of the night. Could hear the toilet next door all the time. I wouldn't stay there again.

Exactly what you need for a 1 or two night stay
Pros:

This 5 Star review is not to state that it is a "5 Star Hotel" but that it hits all the marks that it offers as a 2 Star establishment.

1 Night in Room 4

Comfortable and clean bed with a power outlet nearby and a working wall-mounted TV

Spotless ensuite with decent water pressure and heat.

Decent wifi connection.

Friendly staff.

Well located near to a Waitrose and Sainsburys, not far from Holburn Puregym, Kings Cross Station/Euston Station.

Meh
Pros:

I got a room all the way in the basement, no view. Ceriling height is 6’ tall. The room above me is so noisy, i can hear the person walked around. Location is convenient but this hotel is not maintained well. When i took a shower, water started accumulated, obviously there is a draining issue. Bed is old and squeaky, if you toss & turn alot like me, you’ll know what i mean.

Pros:

Easy to find. Walking distance from Kings Cross. Next to University so students were about. Clean but dated. Comfy bed. No aircon so it might get quite hot in summer but was okay in March.
