킹스크로스역에서 매우 가깝습니다. 공항에서 역에 도착하여 아주 쉽게 찾을 수 있었어요

Convenient

To be honest, I was just looking for something close to the Eurostar at Saint Pancras, so I had a quick trip to the station for an early train the next morning. I was delighted to find a place with so much character and charm.

Booked a family room for 4, for 1 night. Staff were reasonably welcoming on arrival, luckily we didn’t spend much time in the room as it was a squeeze for a family of 4 with 2 teenagers. The room was in the basement, and felt damp, with a slight damp smell too. It had air conditioning which was needed as no windows that could be opened, just a small roof light above the double bed. The sink was in the bedroom, rather than in the bathroom, which isn’t ideal. Upon leaving our key was taken without asking us ‘how our stay was, etc etc’ Unfortunately wouldn’t book here again. However, Very close to the Tube, so this was good.

Excellent hotel close to the train station. Beautifully decorated. Excellent service. Would recommand for families! Only small detail: single beds matresses in family room are much less confortable than the other beds. Otherwise perfect!

The room was lovely although the beds were a little uncomfortable. The location and proximity to the train stations is excellent. The lady on the phone was brilliant ahead of our stay and said I could store my food in the fridge at reception. But when we got there it was only a wine cooler which wasn’t too helpful. Pleased we chose it though - loved the room and it had character

The lobby is charming. Bar was fine but out of ice. Our room was tiny and down many stairs with no lift and in a basement with just a skylight.

Check-in was from 3 pm, but we had to wait about 15 minutes. The room was different from what we saw in the photos. (In the photos, there were three single beds, but in reality, it was a double bed and a bunk bed.) The fan seemed to be broken, as the oscillating function didn’t work. These points were disappointing, but otherwise we were satisfied. The location was very convenient, being close to the station. The staff were also kind and helpful.

Very friendly staff there was an issue and they took care of it

Séjour très agréable dans un hôtel bien situé à côté de saint Pancrace. Le personnel de l’hôtel est très attentif, j’ai pu le constater car nous avons eu une déconvenue concernant le petit déjeuner, le personnel a été vraiment attentif et notre écoute pour trouver une solution. Concernant les sanitaires ils sont très bien, cependant envisager des travaux pour des toilettes plus modernes (double chasse d’eau) permettrait à l’hôtel de faire des économies d’eau.

Enjoyed our stay. Room did get hot and stuffy. No air on and couldn’t open windows. Would have been perfect in cooler weather. Great location and staff. Baggage hold was great for us too.

The hotel room had no AC, and only had one fan which did not rotate, but the windows were big and could open to provide some air. The location was great, close to train stations but also on a quiet side street. The street did have construction going on, so that was a little annoying. Also the building has No Elevator and heavy luggage had to be carried up in a small narrow flight of stairs.

It wasn't too bad but for what we paid for, we expected little better amenities and cleanliness.

SO HOT. AC broke and we were on the 3rd floor. Likewise I didn't see anything about them not having an elevator. Walking huge luggage only to be welcomed to a hot room is horrible. Asked reception for help but all they could provide was a fan that did basically nothing. Worst way to end our Europe trip.

Extremely narrow stairs (hotel put us on top floor), no lift. No A/C, and poor ventilation with weak fan — insufficient for 28-30 Celsius heat. Bathrooms drain, shower door, and toilet seat all broken. While staff were friendly, it was clear this is a dated property that ownership has made little to no effort to maintain. Location is convenient for Kings Cross and St. Pancras (international departure) trains … convenience didn’t outweigh the poorly maintained space, cramped quarters, etc. Do yourself a favor and choose a different property. This is a 2-star property in poor shape!

Cool quirky place

The moment I used the washroom in the dining area on the ground floor, my whole shirt was splashed by the tap that delivered terribly strong water flow. When I entered the room on the 2/F, there was a strong bad smell of sewage water. There was no ventilation at all in the stinky bathroom, and the room was not air conditioned. After much complaints, the staff gave me a room on the 4th floor. Still tiny, but at least it was air conditioned. I couldn’t say the stay was pleasant. No elevator, no help from the staff to move the luggages. Just avoid this hotel.

Cuarto pequeñisimo, no podiamos ni abrir las maletas, ruido afuera de construccion desde las 5am, sin ventilacion

The room itself (room 100) was on the surface lovely and well set out for a family of 5. It had a double bed, sofa bed and single bed - all comfortable. The check in was swift and the staff friendly. The room looked lovely and the kids were impressed and whilst we heard tbe rumble of trains from below, we thought it was manageable. That was until we returned from watching a show just before 11pm. We all got settled in but the noise from upstairs made it difficult to fall asleep, constant movement of furniture, loud bangs. We assumed it would quieten down but even at 1am and 2am it kept going on and when we finally fell asleep it happened again at 3.15am...I should add that the room we had was just below the reception and bar area, the rest of the rooms might have been good but I would not recommend anyone use the family /room for 5 here. We did bring this up with the receptionist who did apologise and would bring it up. However, it did mean we all were very blurry eyed the following day and not at all recharged for a tourist day in London. We may just have lucked out with our room. It is ideally located with access to King's Cross though so if you can get a room upstairs you should be fine.

Near the metro with lots of shops within walking distance.
