Very pleasant stay & glad I give the hotel a 2nd chance
Pros:

I loved my little room as it was out the back of the building in a wee little courtyard that has only 1 other room in it (next to mine) the room itself was absolutely fine and a good size with a window & a tiny but beautiful bathroom & this was my 2nd stay here and this stay was much much better than my previous visit (see below section) so I’m glad I give the hotel a 2nd chance & I spent £30 less for this room this time & like I say it was much better than my room last time which was upstairs inside the main building, I just wish I had have been in london a bit longer to enjoy the hotel more as I can’t comment on bar/restaurant as I’ve never used them but it’s quite a smart little area to relax in when open

Cons:

Everything was fine this trip but last time I did have issues with the room as it was absolutely tiny with no window & a large hole in the wall with electrical cables hanging out if it & it was extremely claustraphobic, I just wanted to get out of there so I changed my train from 1pm to 6am as I disliked it that much but they gave totally redeemed themselves this trip & now if I stay again I will always request my 2nd stay room instead of inside the main building

Nice place for a nice, very comfortable during the hot bank holiday weekend and a good location.
Pros:

There was air conditioning, the room was small but navigable, the bed was comfortable, and it was all quite lovely.

Cons:

The shower was hard to use. When the water was on you couldn't adjust the temperature without getting your arm wet and I accidentally turned it all the way hot so I couldn't turn it off or cold without burning myself. It got so steamy the fire alarm went off. It was quite inconvenient early in the morning.

Séjour agréable dans un hôtel bien situé, pratique et entouré de nombreux restaurants.
Pros:

L’emplacement était vraiment pratique, proche de King’s Cross et St Pancras, le personnel était super gentil et accueillant, et l’hôtel était propre et calme. Les chambres sont petites mais confortables, parfaites pour quelques jours à Londres. J’ai aussi aimé l’ambiance cosy et le fait qu’on se sente en sécurité.
Le quartier est vraiment pratique et vivant : on trouve facilement de quoi manger à toute heure. Il y a pas mal de choix et de spécialités différentes, comme KFC, McDonald’s, mais aussi des restaurants indiens, orientaux et halal. C’est super pratique quand on reste quelques jours, on ne manque de rien et tout est à proximité.

Comodità logistica ma prezzo non adeguato alla camera
Pros:

Centralità e comodità per raggiungere a piedi il centro di Londra o la stazione di king cross

Cons:

Veramente troppo piccola la camera. Nonostante la deluxe, dovevo fare gli incastri con mia moglie per decidere come muoversi nella stanza. Inoltre la notte, penso perché ci sia una stazione della polizia vicino, si sentono molte sirene che partono da molto vicino

Friendly, comfortable hotel in convenient location.
Pros:

Great location near Kings Cross, large room by the standards of hotels in the area, extremely helpful and friendly staff, and they were happy to store our bags before check-in and after check-out. There's even a bar!

Cons:

I honestly can't think of anything. For the area and price, it's a great little hotel.
