A Cosy Haven Close to EVERYTHING

unbeatable locationsmooth processuseful appliancessecure safe
The location was unbeatable, just a short walk to transportation hubs. I left my bags before check-in. They were waiting in my room upon my return. The check-in process was smooth and quick. The room included a microwave, kettle, coffee machine, safe, and fan. It was all so practical!!!
The condition of the walls wasn't perfect. Some wallpaper was peeling a bit, which didn't affect the stay but was noticeable.

The hotel is near king's cross station. the staff stored our bags until late. It was very convenient. the self check-in and check-out were great! we left our luggage the next day, as we had a late train.
the hotel lacked coat hooks in the room or a hanging space, a minor inconvenience. i wish there was more space to hang clothes.

The staff was really helpful . They switched our room to one on the ground floor because they knew that I am pregnant. The location was also very convenient.
The information regarding the room was not accurate. The door code sent via email did not work. The room was smaller than advertised. It lacked air conditioning.
