the location was indeed great for accessing transport links.
the room felt cramped, and moving luggage was a struggle. i could clearly hear trains arriving and departing, quite disruptive. the bathroom was also very small, and the pillows were uncomfortable.

station proximitycheck-in processfriendly welcomestreet noisetiny roombathroom fan
I found the proximity to Kings Cross and St Pancras Stations really convenient. It's so close! The check-in process from 1 PM was useful. I could leave my bag there without any extra charge. The staff gave a really friendly welcome.
My room faced the street on ground level. The entry doors were just on the opposite side of the wall to the head of my bed so it was not a very quiet room. I felt the need to keep the blinds drawn whenever I was in the room. Passersby could look straight in. The bathroom fan only turned on when the bathroom light was turned off. It was also a very tiny room.
