No mention that our room would be across the street from the "lobby". Very tight and narrow, steep stairs down to the room below the street level. Also very noisy - we could hear the trains at San Pancras and the outside noise. The walls must've been very thin too as we could hear the other folks conversations! Room was very small - wouldn't want to stay here for any longer than a quick overnight stay.

It was exactly as expected for a budget hotel: reception friendly, room clean and quiet, and the ability to leave luggage on check-out day. One small negative was an email before I left home stating that the room was service-free and that any extra service required would be charged. Whilst I understood the conditions, it wasn't very welcoming, and a short 'thank you for staying with us' or 'we look forward to your visit' would have taken the unwelcome edge off it.

Rooms are a little old, but for the location being right across from St Pancras and King's cross the price was reasonable. Wouldn't stay more than 1 or 2 nights though

The neighborhood is a little loud, but there were fans in the room and that was sufficient to cover any noise. Facility was great. Super convenient. Really friendly staff.

A great hotel

This was really convenient for St Pancras and we were made very welcome. It will be our hotel of choice in London.
