Clean room and laid out well. Very warm overnight even in January! 2 fans supplied which was great but still stuffy. Construction works went on until 8pm but quiet after that. Great for what we needed as early Eurostar journey!

Basic room but perfect for a one night stay. Brilliant location over the road from kings cross and at pancras and being able to drop your bags off meant we weren't lugging them round all day

Delightful staff - truly kind, approachable and ready to help with anything. The property was immaculate - credit to the cleaning staff. Not only the rooms themselves but every corner of the property was clean - above and beyond - and well taken care of.
