Long weekend in London.
Well located hotel just a 5 minute stroll from Kings Cross / St Pancras, with very helpful staff.
The rooms are very small and the shower rooms are tiny - just enough room to turn around.
The staircases are steep so if you are mobility restricted then not for you.
The rooms could do with a refit but it's OK for a night or 2.

Look for cheap options somewhere else
As we needed hotel for a few hours only, we knew that we are going to book something which might not be even close to adequate, and this hotel did not disappoint us - mouldy walls and bedding, window wouldn’t shut. I was scared to switch light off in case something will start crawling out from corners. The best thing of it - was leaving.
Person who checked as in was nice though.

A couple of days to start the holiday
The location was awesome as I was going to the British Museum and then taking the Eurostar at St Pancras. The room was small but expected the bathroom was good with good water pressure. The staff were excellent and friendly. I recommend it.

Avoid the top floor.
My first room (14) had a really nasty smell, it seemed to come from the bathroom. There was also water damage to the ceiling. Lots of nasty stains on the bed linen. After my first night I was moved to another room (13), here there was a really bad leakage from the bathroom ceiling. Someone had tried to ”fix” it by applying duct tape. Of course that’s not how you repair a leaking roof, both rooms were on the top floor.

Room was tiny should never be a double, put case on shelf high up and it ended up covered in dust. Staff helpful and polite. Property in need of upgrade as looks tired. Have stayed in similar priced properties locally which were far better.

Water Pressure
the hotel is average as a bedsit, budget hotel, very basic accomadation, no fan or A/C.
No water pressure so showering was not an option, this was on the 3rd floor.

The room was clean. The receptionist took our bags up to our room on the top floor. It was easy access from St Pancras and Kings Cross.
The room and en suite were small with a broken shower screen.
Good for an overnight, but not great for a longer period. I should add that we do normally try to book "Very Good" or "Excellent" properties, but this suited our travel arrangements.
