Comfortable and clean, ideal for a night of two. Excellent location, two minutes from King’s Cross railway station. Guest accommodation doesn’t have restaurant of bar but everything you need is minutes away. Tea and coffee in each room. Rooms small but adequate. Great for solo travellers. Staff are all very friendly.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The single room I had was tiny, using the bathroom would be difficult for a larger person. The bed was on the hard side which didn’t suit my back that well, though it might be fine for other people. My stay was fine and the staff were helpful and pleasant. It’s a budget hotel, so these downsides are reasonable and to be expected. Just noting them for the benefit of others.
