    I rarely come across UHT milk for drinks these days, would have scored higher for fresh milk. Also, I was travelling with one big checked bag and one small carry on. The small 'desk' was so narrow I couldn't really use it, certainly not to work on.

    Nice tidy, clean room with everything I needed.

    The room was very bashed up - presumably from previous guests but things were broken, hole in wall etc. The bathroom was also really unpractical and small - it was really hard to shower

    Good location and easy check in.

    Obviously goes without saying in central London, but it does get noisy, so it might be a problem for light sleepers. We had to open the windows to let in fresh air and stay cool at night. The bathroom didn't seem to have great ventilation, but was otherwise clean.

    Great location near St Pancras and the tube. Comfortable and great value for central London, with welcoming staff and easy to check in.

    The rooms were basic, not very comfortable beds. That shower room smelt of damp every time we used it. We had a kitchenette but it didn't have the utensils, glasses etc for us to use so it was pretty pointless in us having it as we couldn't use much of it.

    Perfect location for kings cross station. Staff were all friendly and helpful.

    If I book here again, then only for one night on a business trip, but not for a holiday.

    The room was in a newly built cubicle in the inner courtyard (the whole courtyard was built over by such cubicles), I was surprised there were no stickers showing the way out especially as all the doors looked the same. I wonder what would happen there to the guests in case of emergency.

    The room was newly furbished, tiny but clean and it had all I needed for one night. The room was in the newly built cubicles in the inner courtyard. The staff in the reception were friendly and helpful.

    Just slightly tatty in my room, the tap was loose and bent all the way back and forth off its base. Slightly odd looking scruffy bed sheet/layer below the mattress, not sure what that was.

    Location was amazing, Staff very friendly, very polite security guard. Nice ambience to the entrance foyer.

    Clean, ideally located room for one night - but too cramped to stay longer at any one time.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Single Room with Garden View
    • Stayed 1 night

    Very narrow room so bedside light provided could only be used if flex was stretched across the room and lamp placed on a chair, thereby barring access to bathroom/kettle etc. Was therefore unable to read in bed - needs a power point on same wall as bed! Title of "garden room" was misleading - had to go outside and past small flat area covered with fake grass, then down 4 or 5 steep steps to my room. As a woman travelling alone, I did not like to leave the window open at night - would be OK if there had been a grille across the open gap, or a lock to prevent the window being forced wide open.

    Clean room, comfortable bed, small but excellent shower, good supply of tea/coffee & milk with pristine kettle, 2 good-sized bath towels and bath mat provided. Very quiet room. Very helpful, cheerful staff. Location very good for Kings Cross & St Pancras. Reasonably priced for the area.

    Budget central London hotel with breezy checkin, however unpleasant due to broken heating
    • Leisure trip

    • Stayed 1 night

    The heating in our room did not work, admittedly we realized this late (midnight) however the "24/7 reception" or "24/7 concierge line" provided was not answering either to resolve the issue. Hence, it was cold and unpleasant but cannot comment whether this is a one-off or regular.

    Central location, basic and but acceptable quality hotel. Check in was very convenient and easy. Met expectations and would recommend for budget central London stay

    The room I stayed was located on the lower ground floor and facing a road next to the front door so kept waking up through the night with noises. I will stay on the upper floor next time.

    Excellent location. Very friendly and helpful staffs. Loved soft water in the bath room and rain shower. Nespresso machine in the room. The bed was very comfortable. Soft towels ... all you do not expect on any other 2 star hotels !

    We didn't use the kitchen, so can't comment there. Had to rewash some of the items before use.

    Room was small, but we (family of 5) were only there for one night and we're desperate . Would probably be a little cramped for longer than that. Location was fairly central.

    Walking into the reception felt a bit like walking into someone's home which was a little uncomfortable. The codes to get in the door was ok but not if you didn't have enough battery on your phone. The room needs some TLC

    It was close to the stations and the shops They had a fridge and a microwave. You had codes to get in the door rather than keys or cards The room was unique

    Didn’t get sent an access code before arriving so stuck outside for a few minutes, slightly rundown and a few cobwebs. Room was incredibly hot, couldn’t shut off the radiator but the room had a fan.

    Perfect location as just used it for the Eurostar. Quiet, felt safe and clean enough.
