Hotel Details

Location

A 9-minute walk from King's Cross Station and within 6-10 minutes of St Pancras International, putting central London within easy reach by foot or tube.
The hotel sits on a main road directly above a railway line, so train noise is constant from early morning until around midnight. King's Cross tube and rail station is a short walk, providing fast connections across London and to Luton, Gatwick, and Stansted airports. The British Museum is 2 km away, Oxford Street 3 km, and London City Airport 15 km. The immediate area has several restaurants, takeaways, and a supermarket within 0.3-0.5 km. The neighbourhood is generally safe and calm at night, but the location is best suited to those who need easy access to train stations and are not sensitive to continuous noise.

Accommodation

Compact rooms with private bathrooms, a TV, and tea/coffee making facilities, but often in outdated and poorly maintained condition.
Rooms are very small, with limited space for luggage. The property has four room types: single, double, triple, and family rooms. All rooms now have a private bathroom (toilet and shower), though fixtures are often broken or dirty. Beds are frequently reported as uncomfortable, with thin, saggy mattresses where springs can be felt, and frames held together with wooden blocks. Cleanliness is a major concern, with reports of mould on walls, stained carpets and curtains, dirty bathrooms, and dust. Windows are single-glazed and let in noise from the nearby railway line, which runs every few minutes until late and resumes early. The property has no lift; rooms are accessed by narrow stairs. No rooms have a balcony. Heating is available, but some rooms cannot regulate the temperature. The hotel has no restaurant, no bar, and no breakfast service.

Wellness and Leisure

There is no spa, pool, gym, or any wellness or leisure facility on site.
The hotel provides no leisure amenities whatsoever. There is no spa, swimming pool, fitness centre, sauna, jacuzzi, games room, or garden. The property is a basic budget hotel focused solely on accommodation, with no recreational facilities.

Facilities and Services

Free WiFi in public areas and a 24/7 check-in via phone after hours, but no lift and no luggage storage.
WiFi is free in public areas, though coverage can be unreliable in rooms. Reception is staffed from 7 AM to 11 PM; after that, late arrivals are handled by calling a number provided on the locked front door. There is no lift - all rooms are accessed by stairs. No luggage storage is available before check-in or after check-out, so plan to carry bags until 3 PM or after 10 AM. The hotel accepts American Express, Visa, Maestro, Solo, Bankcard, and MasterCard. An invoice can be provided. No pets are allowed. No parking is available on site; the nearest pay-and-display parking is nearby.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book only if you need the absolute cheapest bed within walking distance of King's Cross and are prepared for very basic, often dirty conditions.

  • 02

    Arrive exactly at check-in time (3 PM) as early arrival cannot be accommodated and luggage storage before check-in is not available.

  • 03

    Choose a different hotel if you are a light sleeper, as noise from trains and other rooms is constant.

  • 04

    Plan to eat all meals out, as there is no restaurant or breakfast service on site.
