Staff friendly and great location
Easy location, everything near by. The receptionist was very friendly ( I don’t remember he’s name ). Room was clean and nice. During the night I’ve noticed we don’t need a pyjama as the room temperature was great.

Was so impressed with this little gem of a hotel! Excellent location for Kings Cross station, hotel itself was immaculate condition super clean and tidy, bright and modern rooms and staff granted my request for a quiet room which I really appreciated. Only thing I would say is in the two nights I stayed there my room was never serviced to come back to. But other than that can’t complain! Would definitely stay here again thank you
