Good value and helpful staff
Small budget hotel, well located for King's Cross and other public transport links. The building is old and shows signs of wear, but the room, although very small was perfectly adequate for a one night stay. It was clean and appeared to be fairly freshly decorated, and the carpet looked new. The ensuite was also tiny, but worked well and plentiful hot water. The breakfast was included, unusual for a hotel in this price range. The staff were very helpful. The radiator was not working ln arrival, but i was given an electric heater which was more than sufficient for the size of room. The only drawback i experienced was a loud noise from the plumbing while another guest used their shower. All in all a good experience and good value for money.

Too old and too lossy. It has to remodel for its electric connection, desk lights, Barth-room ventilation, floor carpet, breakfast varieties.

Very poor hotel!
Very poor hotel. Ive stayed in over 50 hotels in london and this is one of the worst. Room was not the cleanest. Carpets hadnt been hoovered. My room had no towels and only had 1 small pot of milk. I asked for more then they gave me 1 considering i use 3 to make 1 cup of tea. The funniest thing was the breakfast which is displayed as continental. All they serve is drinks, toast and cereal - Thats it! No pastries, eggs nothing. The wifi is also chargabale. I couldn't believe the size on my room when i arrived. The bathroom was insanely small. It smelt of paint. Not sure what they painted as the room needed so much work. The one positive is the lady on reception was nice. But theres no chance i would stay here again! Theres cheaper hotels in london that offer a better hotel for its guests.

Clean, friendly and comfy
I stayed here for one night before catching a very early train, the people were friendly and helpful and the room was clean and comfy. I can't rate the breakfast as I left too early. I would stay here again.

By Russell Square
I checked in and went to my room. There was an annoying drip coming from the bathroom. Who could sleep with that? I went back to the desk and demanded a different room, which was provided. I stayed 3 nights due to the convenient location. No frills cheap hotel near Russell Square and the British Museum.
