If you don’t mind losing sleep, this is for you
Pros:

Location is convenient

Cons:

Very small, not very clean in the corridors. The main issue was noise - it is very poorly insulated so you hear the hallway and the other rooms. On top I had a window that had 9 (!) airco units just outside which was like sleeping (or trying to) next to a jet engine. I asked for another room and was offered earplugs instead …

be aware that you may get a basement room if you don't specifically request otherwise.
Pros:

As i was late arriving, I was allotted a basement room that didn't meet my expectations at all. The concierge was not able to do anything about it as I booked through booking.com. If you prefer not to be in the basement, you need to put in this request when you book.
Eventually, they did reimburse me for the cancellation, so they definitely did the right thing in the end.

Agobio y decepción
Pros:

El hotel tiene una buena ubicación si llegas o te vas en tren de la estación de St Pancras International, pero la realidad es que hay otras opciones más cercanas y con mejor relación calidad-precio y mejores servicios.

Cons:

Entiendo que se quiera aprovechar y rentabilizar el espacio, pero el tamaño de la habitación no debería ser legal. Nos hospedamos dos personas, de peso y complexión normal, y teníamos que organizarnos para movernos en la habitación. En el baño, muchas personas, sin obesidad, no podrían entrar.
La maleta tienes que ponerla debajo de la cama, que está suspendida con ese fin, con lo que, para entrar en la cama, mo es muy cómodo.
Tienen habitaciones de las mismas características en las plantas -1, y -2, con lo cual la sensación claustrofóbica es enorme. Inicialmente nos ubicaron en una habitación en la planta -2 y dada las características de la habitación y ubicación solicitamos que nos cambiaran y nos cambiaron a una habitación en la planta 3, que por lo menos tiene una ventana.

Las zonas comunes, pasillo de la planta, o al menos de la planta 3, necesita una limpieza más profunda que la que tiene.

Por lo que ofrecen, que solo es la recepción, en la que no siempre hay personal, el precio es excesivo.

Great hotel for a short overnight stop close to main transport hubs.
Pros:

Friendly, welcoming staff. Small hotel in a side street near King's Cross Station. Modern facilities, very clean and overall a comfortable room for one needing a short overnight stay. Great location for either a late arrival or early morning departure from King's Cross or St. Pancras International.

Cons:

Going through the front entrance on a side street location on my own I was apprehensive at first. However, the welcome from staff at reception was good and reassuring. Single room was located on the lower ground floor at busy street level was noisy but tolerable. The noisy location was explained at check-in and I was offered ear plugs. The quality of the room made up for it.

2/10
Pros:

The location wasn't bad but thats the only good thing I have to say about it.

Cons:

The elevator doesn't go to our room,. The room was filthy, bed wasn't clean, shoe marks on the walls, window had no view and couldn't be opened. They only gave us one key even though we are 2 guests. The ac made loud noises... over all such a disappointment. They never released the deposit amount even though they claim they did, even after a month's time.

Served the purpose for one night.
Cons:

A room no bigger than a shoe box and the air handling droned all night because it was underground. Didn't think it was value for money. Thankfully only there for one night. To be fair it was clean and the staff were friendly enough.

Near King's Cross, comfortable rooms
Pros:

Walkable from King's Cross Station.
Friendly staff.
Clean rooms.

Cons:

The room 9m² was very small. Most of the space was taken up by the bed. But ultimately, value for money given the location.
