Pros:

The bed was insanely comfortable, so much better than we thought it would be. The decor was also very fun.

Cons:

I mini fridge would’ve been nice, to keep our bottle of water cool over night.

Pros:

Very close to Kings Cross/St Pancras. Convenient for the Eurostar.

Cons:

The sinks and taps/shower were significantly rusty. The layout of the room made the space feel smaller.

Dirty infested shed
Pros:

It was close to kings cross

Cons:

It was advertised as a chalet, it was literally a garden shed, there was pubic hairs on the bed sheets, the mattresses were heavily stained, there was dust and dirt everywhere. The bathroom was rotten and the worst part was the place was crawling with ants. We left early as it was that awful. We slept in our clothes so our skin didn't touch the beds. The only reason we didn't leave as soon as we got there was because it was late and we had 3 children with us.

Terribile non vedevo l’ora di andare via
Pros:

La posizione

Cons:

Posto molto sporco. Il bagno un box in camera piccolissimo dove nemmeno ci si poteva muovere. Ho chiesto un asciugamano in più mi hanno detto che avrei dovuto pagarlo, nonostante tra un giorno e l’altro nemmeno avessero cambiato loro gli asciugamani del giorno prima!!! Ho provato a chieder un adattatore per caricare il cellulare mi hanno risposto che dovevo comprarmelo (grazie, lo avrei fatto comunque mi serviva solo in quel momento).
Posto pessimo, solo la posizione è davvero top !
