    • What did you like most?
      Great location for King’s Cross & underground. Nice friendly staff with really quick check in & check out & offer to keep bags. Good sleep for somewhere so central. Ideal for night away with son for football match.
    • Was there anything you didn't like?
      Nothing I didn’t like for us. (Wouldn’t be great for old or larger folks with large cases with the London townhouse style steps & compact shower/bathroom).
