I got more than I bargained for! Walked in and was instantly pleasant
Pros:

I’ll be honest, I was expecting cheap and cheerful, but what I got was professionalism, and more than I bargained for, room was clean came with more than I was expecting and even a high end fan to deal with the London heat. These guys know exactly what they’re doing and they will be my go to for when I need a short stop over in central!

A good budget friendly hotel close to the train station and amenities of Kings Cross.
Pros:

Friendly reception staff and nice pleasant room, ideal for one night and solo travellers.

Cons:

You had to leave the key with reception, which filled me with concern I might not get back in after a night out in London. However, the receptionist let me in straight away and gave me my key.

Prima locatie, maar prijs kwaliteit niet helemaal in verhouding.
Pros:

Eerder inchecken ging prima. Makkelijk te vinden en locatie was goed. Personeel ook aardig.

Cons:

Vond de prijs kwaliteit verhouding niet goed. Dat zal ongetwijfeld aan de locatie liggen. Verder werd er verbouwd wat best wel wat geluidsoverlast gaf. Ondanks dat ze om 08:00 uur begonnen, zou ik niet geboekt hebben als ik het had geweten.

Pros:

מיקום מצוין צמוד לרכבת, היה לנו נוח ללילה לפני נסיעה לצפון אנגליה. נקי מאוד. כל אנשי הצוות שפגשנו היו מקסימים

Cons:

החדרים קטנים ואין מקום לתיקים או לציוד. המקלחת היתה קטנטנה ללא מדף להניח אפילו בקבוקון שמפו. בלילה האיזור לא מרגיש מאוד בטוח (כמו ברוב איזורי תחנת רכבת).

Clean, comfortable, ideal for a couple of days in London.
Pros:

I really didn't expect such a nice hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was small but perfectly formed. Ideal for one or two nights for a show or exploring London. There was even a good fan!

Cons:

I'm used to a king-size bed but I'm just trying to find things to quibble about.

It was clean and comfortable.

Great location very close to St Pancras International and Kings Cross station. Room was big enough for the 4 of us, very comfortable and clean. There was a fan in the room which was very much appreciated.
