“This hotel offers a budget-conscious stay, though some rooms, especially those in the basement, may suffer from noise issues. While staff reportedly strive to be helpful, be aware that some past visitors have reported issues with room conditions and security. It's a place to consider if location is paramount and expectations are tempered.”

Convenient Stay Near King's Cross

convenient locationhelpful staffeasy traveltea kettle

I found the location very convenient, being a short walk from King's Cross Station. This made travel around the city quite easy. The staff were helpful with directions. The room included a kettle for making tea, a feature I definitely appreciated.

The walls seemed a bit thin, so I could hear some noise from the hallway at times.
