It was worth it, a bit untidy compared to other hotels I have been to. But we did still enjoy the night. the location was okay. Another issue was that the bathroom was outside the room. funny isn't it.

Basic hotel with small rooms. I believe the money is still a lot for what you get. But it will do and the location is quite central and easy to navigate to. It is but a 5 minute walk out the door and you're right at the metro station on Kings Cross. If you dont mind just staying somewhere basic... More

I stayed here one night. We picked this place because it was cheap and close to Kings Cross / St Pancras. The room was basic, had a sink, TV (not working), tea, coffee and a shared bathroom. Overall the room and bathroom were clean but in need of redecorating. Ok if you are on a budget, not too fussy and... More

We were going to see the London dungeons on our trip, we did not have to as we were already staying there! From the moment we arrived i new there was something not quite normal here. Reception was abandoned on arrival, no bell to ring, no note to say 'back in 5'...nothing. After standing like a plum for 20min in... More
