The room was spotless and though small, excellently designed. The hotel breakfast was delicious and excellent value too. The only flaws were the sub-par TV system which had no cable channels at all and the chromecast option no longer worked. Also the much vaunted pantry was just a glorified tea and coffee making facility. The only food were some old apples. That was at 5.30pm and remained like that until the following morning but even then the only additional food were some chocolate bars and some bite-sized pastries. When this hotel first opened the pantry was full of snacks at all times of the day. If the current owners have decided to scale things back they should no longer advertise this as a feature. ##### Elizabeth Stayed 1 night in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colin 16 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities The check-in was flawless and Chennelle was cheery, bright and really helpful.

We had to go back to reception because our key didn’t open the door. The room was badly lit. One bedside light was missing a switch. Bathroom was so small that trying to use the basin water splashed on the floor. The loo roll was hidden behind a bath robe. Eggs Royale came on a solid untoasted bagel instead of a muffin. Only reason I gave it one star instead of zero was great food in the bar. ##### Jennifer Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Sarah 10 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect location for Eurostar Perfect location for Eurostar, staff very friendly and hotel very clean but small rooms for the price. ##### Sarah Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 25 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Extremely convenient location Extremely convenient location, right beside King's Cross and St. Pancras Station.
