My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The location was superb, right near St Pancras station, making transportation a breeze. The rooms, though small for two people, were clean and had all the essentials. The service was a bit of a mixed bag, with fast responses to emails but limited helpfulness in other matters. The dining experience was fantastic, with a delicious breakfast served fresh daily.

I found the hotel to be in a convenient location near St Pancras station, which was excellent for exploring London. Although the room I stayed in was small, it was clean and somewhat spacious for one person. However, the lack of elevator made it challenging with my pregnancy, and the room felt more like a hostel than a hotel.

The hotel's location is perfect for accessing St Pancras Eurostar and it's very convenient, just 1 minute away from Kings Cross and St Pancras International stations. The staff were really friendly and went above and beyond to assist us, offering advice on local attractions and even taking care of our luggage after check out. The dining experience was tasty with a variety of continental options available. A few minor issues in the rooms were noticeable, but overall a wonderful and conveniently-located stay.

Rooms

The rooms were a bit stuffy but comfy enough to be a twin. They were okay, although not as clean as expected, and being in the attic, they sloped down slightly. A bit of a letdown for cleanliness but still manageable.
