Perfect for quick one night stopover
Pros:

It was perfectly located for us as we had to catch an early morning Eurostar. It was literally a 5 minute walk away and easy to find

Cons:

Could’ve used a shower mat and the shower door was a bit dodgy

Pros:

Staff were very friendly & welcoming. I'm sure the fan was added after dropping off my case - staff very attentive to my perimenopause state I arrived in LOL.. Location was very good - dont follow google maps, just walk straight up, off euston road and hotel is adjacent to square. Would stay here again.

Cons:

Slight wear & tear was evident in bedroom & bathroom. Bed was very springy, so took a bit of getting used to.

Cons:

The doors are not sound proof at all and I could hear every small movement/noise outside my room. Unfortunately I had some very noisy neighbours in the room opposite me throughout the night so I did not sleep well/at all. Upgrading the doors to seal properly/be more soundproof would make a massive difference.

Excellent, super friendly, willing to accommodate if they can.
Pros:

The very friendly and helpful owner and managers. When I made a mistake with my booking and didn’t realise I needed to request a ground-floor room due to mobility issues, they quickly moved me from a third-floor room with stairs to a lower-ground-floor room. This meant I only had to climb one flight of stairs at the start of the day, when I was less tired. Oh, and the decor, wow, it was beautiful, it looks overpowering in the website photos, but really well done when you see it live.

Cons:

I would have liked a fridge in the room, but it might just be the room I bought, since I got it super cheap for the area.

Retro, different but enjoyable
Pros:

Retro, I didn’t expect but funny. Need improvements , the room needed renovation but I can say was bigger with a lot of facilities, I can’t complain because was close to St Pancras very good for late flights or early flights. I like this version of easy check in and out. I have to say was very clean , well done to the cleaners! If the rooms will have updates will be a good value for visitors. I will book again because I like this idea with retro rooms and different styles. Well done!👏 Thank you for having me and my daughter…she’s was very impressed with that’s hotel what I choose it.

Cons:

Only the things what have be fixed

Pros:

Location good as 4 min away from St Pancras Station
Electronic key code worked as promised

Cons:

Furniture old. Lots of rust in bathroom. Rather loud (I could hear every step from the guys in the room above me). Shutter was damaged so it was rather bright inside room

Weekend w Londynie
Pros:

Lokalizacja i klimatyczne miejsce, mały przytulny pokoik

Cons:

Czystość wątpliwa, rzeczy nie na wierzchu miały warstwę kurzu, a nie był to bardzo tani nocleg. Uważam że można zadbać o porządek na tak małej powierzchni

The price and location were great for us for a 1 night stay.
Pros:

Location was excellent to get to kings Cross Station. Staff were friendly, and room was clean.

Cons:

Bathroom a little cramped, as was the bedroom. No lift, however as we were using backpacks, this wasn’t a problem for us.
