Expedia should have entering requirements.
I could not sleep. Because, the house is located over the tube route. There was smell and all the beds were broken. Utterly terrible experience. I wouldn`t pay such amount of money for budget guest house. Expedia should have some entering requirements. You failed it. I`ll never use Expedia again

Hostel near Kings Cross.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Tea and coffee in room, great! Very convenient for Kings Cross and many restaurants near by. Clean and comfortable beds and good value.

Yuck...
The rooms and halls were decrepit, in disrepair, and dirty. The bathroom was worse. The staff were unhelpful and no one seemed to know where the manager was or how to get ahold of him. Travellers beware: there will be no refund.

budget hotel - fine for a night or two
It's ok for a night or two but you get what you pay for. The trains go past right outside the hotel and everything's very old but it's fine as just a place to stay

Even for the money this is pretty grotty!
Other reviews have noted the train noise; I didn't find it intrusive even though the whole hotel rattled slightly. Traffic noise was worse, as was the noise from other rooms in the hotel. The room was OK although the bed was very lumpy and the pillows negligible. However even with the radiator turned off the heat was unbearable and the window wouldn't open. The bathroom, however, was icy cold. Shared facilities is fair enough but there need to be enough to go around. There only seemed to be one toilet, in the same room as the bath. The floor was extremely slippery and all the facilities were in poor condition.

Don't go there
Apart from there being a working tv and kettle and lots of tea/coffee and milk, (and a friendly hotelier), the experience was one of the worst in my life. We were in the basement, with a cupboard full of junk and rat poison on the floor, the corridors were ridiculously narrow and probably wouldn't pass fire regulations, the mattress was horrendously uncomfortable and the bedding was sparse. We felt unsafe all night, slept with the light on, and left as soon as we could. We would never go back there.

It doesn't get much worse than this
Convenient for Kings Cross and St Pancreas International stations. Hotel looked after our luggage. But pretty dreadful. Squeaking bed, high pitched whine from the TV, no chair, dodgy toilets, intermittent Wifi.

Convenient located near to Kings Cross.
We booked this hotel based purely on the proximity to Kings Cross - it was okay for an overnight stay, but I would not recommend it for longer stays due to the constant noise from passing trains very close to our room.

It was terrible
Our reservation was screwed up and we had to switch rooms after the first night (we stayed there two nights altogether). The showers did not work. The place was under cosmetic construction. But it did not help, as the walls and ceiling had cracks, the washroom doors did not close, and the floor was moving when we walked on it. I was scared there. I will not stay there again even if they pay me.

Does What It Says On The Tin
Budget Hotel. Good Location, you get a key for your room and the front door, that means if your out late no worries. Enjoyed my stay, accommodation was fairly basic but the surrounding area offered a variety of resturants, there was an off licence just down the road for those forgotten toiletries etc. Enjoyed my stay.

Budget Guest House - Dive
Luckily i was only here for one night and spent only a few hours in the room. I booked a single room and got bunk beds which had the worst bedding and mattresses i have ever slept in. Room had some litter in it when i arrived. You have to share a toilet and bathroom which were clean enough i suppose, not that i dared risk the shower. The reception is not 24 hours although the guy who greeted me was friendly and helpful enough. I know this is only a 1 1/2 star accomadation, i find it difficult to rate it even have a star. The price is expensive for what it is, I've stayed in nicer hostels for a fraction of the cost.

This hotel is low by hostel standards - stains on the sheets, no front desk (just a dirty side room), no security, a single toilet for the entire hotel, watch out for this one.

Worst Hotel Ever
This was the most disgusting hotel I have ever stayed in, infact we didn't even stay in it, it was in terrible condition, when we tried to walk up the steps which were crumbling, half the railing fell off and we nearly fell down with it. The steps were so steep and unbalanced that you could barely get your suitcase up. Upon entry, it smelt like curry powder and B.O and ciggarettes, we went to inspect the room and it was dirty, the room hadn't been cleaned, the beds were in appalling condition and the man that owned the hotel was very intimidating. We did not feel safe at all, we went and found a hostel instead and forfited our deposit. Do not stay here unless you absolutely have to!!

Quite simply the worst accommodation I've ever stayed at. Don't expect much more than a bed and a roof over your head. However, you should find a kettle in your room along with a few polystyrene cups...

Alleen de ligging is gunstig.Het betreft een oud en vervallen pand.De televisie was kapot, vloerbedekking was kapot, de wastafel was wankel, viel bijna van de muur, erg gehorig, geen stoelen.Het bed was krakkemikkig.Badkamer was matig. Het is geen aanrader.

Une chambre a la cave
On avait l'impression de dormir à la cave. Une chambre en bas des escaliers, 2 lits simples, lits à ressort, un évier salle, pas de salle de bain, douche et toilette sont communs et d'une saleté inédite. On évitait au maximum de toucher quoi que ce soit à main nue. Et toutes les 20-30mins des bruits et vibrations de train assez proche. On a choisi cette chambre pour le prix d'une chambre à Londres mais il était encore beaucoup trop cher pour ce que c'était. J'aurais du lire les avis avant de réserver.

Dåligt
Gillade inte detta hotellet för fem öre det var verkligen inte värt pengarna. Rummet var inte alls fräscht, det var hur litet som helst och för mycket saker i det vi kom knappt in i rummet för att det stod en garderob innanför dörren. I receptionen står en våningssäng med ett skynke över och även en spis mm så det känns som att någon bor där inne. När jag va där så luktade hela huset som avlopp och det satte sig i kläderna vilket inte var så trevligt heller. Läget är väldigt bra med gång avstånd till Kings Cross Station men det var väl också det ända som var bra med detta ställe.

Die schlimmste von allen schlechten Unterkünften, die wir in England gebucht haben. Winziges,schmutziges Zimmer mit Blick in vermüllten Hinterhof, Gemeinschaftsbäder in einem Zustand, daß an Benutzung kein Gedanke sein kann, Zug- und U- Bahnlinie verkehren direkt neben dem Haus, nicht gut ,wenn man da schlafen will. Auf jeden Fall vermeiden!!!
