a quiet gem near king's cross
convenient location kind staff comfortable bed
I found the location convenient. It was a short walk to both king's cross and st pancras stations. the staff were wonderfully kind and helpful. the room, though cozy, felt very clean and well-kept, and the bed was quite comfortable after a long travel day.
the absence of a lift meant carrying luggage up several flights of stairs, a bit challenging.

cramped room uncomfortable pillow
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.

Convenient Location, Some Issues
station proximity check-in process friendly welcome street noise tiny room bathroom 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.

the room i booked was not quite up to par. the carpet had some questionable stains. additionally, the noise from the street was quite disruptive, even with the windows closed. it made getting a good night's sleep difficult.
