“This Kings Cross-area hotel could be a practical choice, especially given its proximity to the underground, allowing easy access to many of London's attractions. However, reports of inconsistent room quality and concerns about pests should give potential guests pause. Overall, for budget-conscious travelers willing to accept some trade-offs, it might suffice, but with a clear understanding of potential drawbacks.”
