The single room was compact but had everything you needed, kettle, water, toiletries etc. Staff were lovely & very helpful when I had an issue with the safe.
It wasn’t cheap but still acceptable.

my stay in california was quite pleasant! the check-in was fast and easy. the staff went out of their way to assist me when i mistakenly booked a day late. the location is perfect, just a stone's throw from the train stations. breakfast was delightful with a variety of options.
The room could benefit from maintenance. the door didn't shut easily.

average stay but great staff
The staff provided exceptional service, offering to carry our luggage up the stairs despite the absence of a lift. The bar area created a warm atmosphere that made it easy to unwind after a long day.
The rooms felt smaller than what I typically prefer.

this place is great for couples, we had such a fab stay. the bed was like sleepin on a cloud n the room was really cozy with a cute skylight. i loved havin complimentary water n tea/coffee when we got there. the location is perfect for gettin around london, just a short walk from kings cross. staff were super nice!
the room coulda been a bit bigger, n it was kinda hard to reach the blinds for the skylight. also, there was some noise outside that might wake light sleepers.

Unique design elements, proximity to King's Cross/St Pancras, small garden area
Noise insulation needs improvement!!! Room sizes could cater to larger guests better!!! Stairs can be a challenge for those with luggage or mobility issues!!!

Hidden gem near the station
Spent a night here and it was super nice! The room was cozy and had enough space for me with a comfy bed. They got a chill bar area – loved the half-price drinks from 5-6pm! Breakfast was decent, but kinda basic. It would’ve been awesome if they had more variety. Great location, just a few mins from the station!
