I chose this hotel for overnight stay as wanted to stay close to Kings Cross. Staff were lovely. My room was in the adjoining Albion Hotel but that wasn't any bother at all. I had booked a single but I was upgraded on arrival without asking (the single, although small would have done just fine but I wasn't going to... More

Stayed here as I was catching the Eurostar early the following morning. Absolutely perfect for that. Staff were friendly and helpful at check in. Double bed was really comfortable. Nicely appointed room but not large (but good for the area). Unexpectedly good shower. Perfect for a business traveller who just wants a comfy bed and free wifi. Had a good... More

Stayed for 5 nights at the hotel. It is located near a tube. Rooms are good enough, clean and basic. Staff are very helpful. We had a room on the second floor with a veranda (I'm a smoker so this is a plus). The room was just the right size enough for four person with one luggage each. It was... More

We arrived with our parents who are 70 yrs of age. This hotel is in a very old building with no lift. My mother in law fell ill and we struggled to get her up the stairs. If we knew there was no lift we would not select it for them. They advertise wifi in all rooms, we stayed on... More

We found this hotel rather easily as it is directly down the street from King's Cross. That's about the only thing this hotel had going for it. Luckily I read the previous reviews and went to the other hotel down the street to check in. We were early so they did store our luggage for us while we explored the... More

60 seconds from the madness of kings cross is this lovely little hotel in the surprising quiet of argyle square. The service was good and the standards exceptional . The hotel faces out onto one of the few green areas in the city and its great to sit and have a coffee in. Good comfy bed and value for money... More

Stayed here a few times due to its close location to kings cross. Nice London boutique hotel at very reasonable prices for London. Nice newly refurbished modern decor rooms. Much nicer than a Travelodge. Only downside which I addressed to Patrick the manager was the highly scented floor cleaner used aggregated my sinuses. Would definitely stay again and purchase room...

Very unpleasant stay! I definitely would not recommend this hotel because (several reasons): The lack of facilities! such as: They don't have a breakfast room/place in the hotel (you have to go outside)! An awful tiny bathroom! Terribly unconvenient staff! Lousy value-for-money!
