the location was convenient to points of interest. fresh flowers decorated the hall adding a cute touch. the large, clean shower was certainly a plus.

the window faced the adjacent building, limiting natural light. the wireless internet signal was weak, requiring me to stay close to the door. the early check-out time at 10:00 am felt rather inconvenient.

I appreciated the friendly and helpful check in staff. They were excellent. The location was good. It was only a short walk to the Kings Cross train station. I also liked that the room was quiet.

There was no lift, so I had to carry my bags. The shower was horrible. I could not get the balance of hot and cold right. The shower head is fixed into the roof too. You cannot really adjust the shower head and water was going out of the shower over the bathroom floor.
