Smoked filled rooms but good location and friendly service
Pros:

Friendly and accommodating customer service. Excellent location.

Cons:

Rooms have an overwhelming stench of heavy smoke, thus making it impossible to sleep, even with an open window. Might be ok for heavy smokers who might not be fussed by the heavy stench of tobacco.

Pros:

la posizione è molto comoda con varie fermate della metro vicino , il centro è raggiungibile con 15 minuti a piedi. l'hotel è molto vecchio ma il rapporto qualità prezzo per Londra va più che bene., ha quasi lo stesso prezzo di un ostello!
vicino ci sono bar e ristoranti dove poter mangiare e king cross o il British museum sono 10 minuti a piedi. per 2 o 3 notti se ci si accontenta va più che bene.

Cons:

lo staff non si è mai visto , le stanze sono vecchie !
