Nice hotel (get the right room!)

Nice hotel, good size room, clean and tidy. Only issue is we had a room on the ground floor close to reception so very noisy particularly on a morning.
Hannah, 3-night trip

Great room but no lifts - lots of steep stairs! Breakfast was served in small cramped basement. No air conditioning/ stifling

James, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel room was very nice. The staff member who checked us in was incredibly rude. He quite literally yelled at us as we checked in. He was unhelpful and treated us very poorly in all of our interactions with him.

David, 1-night trip

It was unexpected to have to walk up 3 floors.
Tim, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place in a quiet area of London

Just a 10 minute walk from Kings Cross. Property is down a very quiet street which is rare for London. Lovely, big bed and great shower. Only a short walk to Russell Square/Southampton Row, where there are ple ty of pubs & restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our mini break
Dave, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was clean and everything looked new. We needed to go down the stairs from the back of the reception and go up the stairs to our room. The staff were friendly and helpful when carrying the luggage.
Atsuko, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

The experience was not great. The WiFi barely worked, cut out nonstop. Do not plan to work if you stay here and need internet. No elevator. Travel light, otherwise - may end up lugging a heavy suitcase up 4 flights or stairs. The 4th floor is quite warm and the fan sounded like a lawn mower.
2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quainr, convenient, friendly.
Michael, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

A cheap hostel. But the shared bathroom had no place to put your stuff and the shower floor was pretty dirty.
Sasha, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Comfy quiet clean not very coeliac friendly

Lovely room but rather small. Big comfy bed and good shower. Lovely quiet area. Quite a good cooked breakfast but no gluten free bread for coeliacs like me.
D, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

good breakfast

there is only one type of shower head and the door of shower cannot be closed properly which I find it quite disappointing
Hoi Wai, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Hotel manager is horrible.

The hotel manger is horrible . Rude and not respectful . Room is so dark , the restroom is so small. No elevator. The stairs are dangerous.
