Satisfactory hotel for an overnight stay in a very central position
Pros:

The facilities in the room were perfectly adequate for an overnight and the shared bathroom was clean and well-equipped. The receptionist was friendly and welcoming and the location was central to St Pancras station and near to a range of shops and restaurants.

Cons:

Some of the furnishings were a bit tired and the price probably a touch on the high side, but it is London.

We had an early start from St Pancras, so we wanted a place to stay for the night.
Pros:

There was a kettle and tea, so we could make a cup of tea.

Cons:

One of the taps in the room did not work, the other gave a slow flow of cold water. The room was very cramped.
