Great spot for busy travellers looking for a good value stay. We spent minimal time in the room, which had all the necessities and amenities we needed. Hotel was close to Kings Cross, on a quieter side street. Clean, with a relaxed environment, and 24hr front desk.

The room was comfortable, and shower pressure was good. Reception and corridors are vey shabby which made for poor impression however the room was clean and warm although the bathroom has a damp smell which off putting. It was a well priced room in a central location however I would not book as again

It did seem to lessen shortly after the shower had been run. So I gave i...
