Great place to stay in London: safe, clean, quiet, convenient, and affordable. Just across the street from the train station and there are consequently a lot of options for food in the area (some are open late as well if you struggle with jetlag like I did the first couple nights). Any day-to-day essentials you might need will be no more than a 10 minute walk away. I will definitely stay here again I am ever on another solo trip in London. What a wonderful experience!

Greg

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property was reasonably clean and located close to King's Cross station. Not a nice area to stay, one of the shabbiest in London. Very noisy all day and most of the night. My room was small and had very few comforts. Up 4 flights of steep stairs so no use unless you are pretty fit. The whole area is one big building site

Room was perfect for my 3 night stay. Even though the bath was shared, it was never an issue. Great for a comfortable place to sleep when visiting London with a heavy schedule. Convenient to tube and Kings Cross Stations; Not a lot of local convenience /food stores around - mostly found overpriced restaurants and overpriced Boots/M&S (b/c of Kings Cross - pricing is different in other areas) Room was a bit noisy due to facing street and current construction.
