We had a family room with 2 double beds which was perfect for a 1 night short stay. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The only thing that lets it down is that it is already looking a bit tatty despite being quite new.

Bare bones accommodation. REALLY small rooms, no mini fridges in the room, no utensils at the front desk, etc. staff was nice and did what they could do but helpful where possible. And It’s cheap and a modern build so decent accommodation. And hey they give you a couple water bottles and tea bags in the room.

Perfect hotel for a short stay! I needed a room for an overnight stay so booked a single room. The room was small but perfect for what I needed. It was very clean and I felt safe, comfortable and had a good nights sleep. Only a five minute walk from King’s Cross and Staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.
