    Nowt really.

    Perfect location for Camden of a night out, then a stone’s throw from Kings Cross in the morning. Friendly inn keeper’s. Comfortable atmosphere.

    Obtaining initial access to the building is interesting because you have to buzz in and wait for the host to come outside. The building is old, and some parts were messy, but the room itself was okay.

    The location was good, and the room was quite spacious for the price.

    On the downside, currently they were suffering from the bedbug epidemic: I woke with itchy huge bites on my face and hands. Hopefully they can resolve this soon.

    A great location; although the building was rather run down in places - the single rooms on the top floor are actually cosy and pleasant. Great for the price.

    This hotel needs some TLC -- showing its age, wear and tear. Some simple, not so expensive attention could make a difference. Place a shower curtain bar lower, New bedside lamps, add mobile/ pad charging recepticles. deep clean, lick of paint and possibly replace carpet in rooms.

    Friendly hotel and convenient to King's Cross/ St. Pancras/ Euston. Restaurants, pubs and shops are few steps away. It is historical LGBTQ establishment now catering to a broader clientele. Lovely pub attached if you want to stay in on a cold night with fire place blazing. Staff are friendly and helpful.

    Nothing to add, all good. Forgot to say I found the all important hair dryer as well

    It was very much last minute dot com to find a room in Central London. This room was ideal for me. Greeted by a friendly chap who was efficient in his welcome which I appreciated as I didn’t have a lot of time.

    When a band is playing during the operating hours of the bar, the sound can be heard inside the room. Some might find it a bit noisy, but overall, it's completely within an acceptable range.

    Staff are very nice. Location is perfect. Shared toilet and shower is clean. A heater works very well.

    The stairs to the bedrooms, which are on the third floor. My knees protested! But I understand that it is an old property and they are unable to install a lift.

    The staff and the property owner were very welcoming and looked after me well. It has a lot of character and was a fun place to stay. I am so glad I went there rather than to one of the bland hotel chains. It is about 20 mins walk from the Business Design Centre where my event was, which gave me a nice walk.

    Scruffy old room. The price

    Very friendly reception and quirky accomodation. Despite this, the room is not worth £125 for a night. Had a wonderful sleep though. Glad Central Station exists and stay again if it was a bit cheaper.

    The rooms are reasonable. You should go for the experience rather than for comfort though.

    The staff is absolutely lovely. The location is central and reasonably quiet at the same time.
