“I noted its proximity to King's Cross, handy for transport and food. The rooms appear basic, but seem clean and well-kept, although small, which, for the price, I think it's acceptable if you're just looking for a place to crash.”

basic stay near king's cross

convenient locationsmall roomweak wi-fi
The location was convenient. It was close to king's cross station.
The room was quite small. I had difficulty moving around with my luggage (a carry-on and a backpack). i also found the bedding to be subpar. The blanket was thin and felt rough against my skin. the wi-fi signal was weak and dropped frequently, a problem when i needed to check travel updates.

Simple Stay Near the Station

useful locationfriendly staffeasy transportstreet noise
I founds the location very useful to travel around town. It was nearby the station and I got there quickly. Staff was friendly and always ready to answer questions.
My room was quite small. I also noticed noise coming from the street. Perhaps thicker windows help for better sleep.
