Pros:

Excellent staff. Small but adequate room. Only real problem was there was so much light in the room after dark, from under the door and inadequate curtains.

Terrible Experience – Avoid This Hotel!

Worst hotel experience ever! I arrived close to midnight after a concert and found a spider 🕷️ in the room. My daughter was terrified, and although the receptionist removed it using a towel from the bed, the hotel later denied that there had ever been a spider!

When I asked to change rooms, I was told there were none available. The only option offered was a “family room” at double the price — an extra £71 on top of my £164 booking!

The room itself was awful: wobbly beds, a sideways TV, a tiny bathroom with no toilet roll, and very poor service. When I refused to pay extra, we left at 00:28 and ended up walking near King’s Cross in the middle of the night.

Completely unacceptable — never again!

I have reported this incident to Expedia for further investigation.

Pros:

Communal area carpets were dirty. Room in need of signifiant refurb and very basic, poor quality decor and facilities. Hair on back of bathroom door and shower cubicle leaked. Would not recommend.

Pros:

The room was small, but warm, and clean. Lots of tea and coffee. A decent sized TV, and blanket for comfort. The bathroom had a powerful shower, and plenty of hot water. Perfect for a one night stay, and only 5 minutes to St Pancras station.

Pros:

Welcoming and friendly staff. The room is very small but equipped with all the necessary comforts. The price is a bit high for what it offers, but it's understandable given the proximity to King's Cross station.
