One night in Kings Cross, London
Pros:

The room was clean and nicely decorated for a small space. Lina was very helpful and gave us a great suggestion for dinner and transport to the Aldwych theatre, as we were only there for one night.

Cons:

As expected the bathroom was tiny, with the small basin in the bedroom, which was manageable, but awkward. There was noise during the night from people in the park opposite.

Some Good, Some Less Good
Pros:

Great location, friendly staff at reception & clean.

Cons:

Very small - so tiny. Also, the cleaning staff were annoying. This morning (morning of check-out) I was getting dressed (it was 9:30 - check-out is only at 11:00) when a staff member just started unlocking my door to come in.

Pros:

Sehr gut Lage.

Cons:

Das Zimmer im Keller ist dunkel und stickig. Keine Klimaanlage und Lüften war schwierig, da sonst andere Gäste durchs Fenster hätten einsteigen können.
Nachts würde ich den Park gegenüber meiden.

Pros:

The hotel is perfectly located within a 5 minute walk from Kings Cross train station and underground networks. Ideal for exploring the city.
Free luggage storage is also a bonus when you have a full day to fill before check in and after checking out.
24 hour reception is ideal too so you don't have to carry your key around all day!
