Solo stay

Great location near restaurants, public transportation and Kings Cross / St Pancras train station. Good price / value for money. Friendly and helpful staff. Full kitchen. Fun “take a book / leave a book” library. Great communication before arrival. Need to empty rubbish bin inside sleeping room every day. No A/C and hot weather made it difficult to sleep.

We booked last minute as somewhere cheap and cheerful near King's Cross for a football match. 4 bed dorm was perfect for the 3 of us. Bunks were pretty comfy, noise was as you would expect on a main road running past a train station

When you walk in it smells like a portapotty. Check in was easy and the staff was very nice. However the bathroom was so nasty. Ended up booking another hotel within 20 minutes of checking in.
