The hotel's room, although small, was comfortable for a night's stay in a nice area but lacked natural light and had a moldy smell. The service provided was a mix of rudeness and efficiency, with helpful staff but with some unpleasant encounters. The location was perfect for connecting around London and to the airport but faced challenges in -2°C weather. The dining options were varied but lacked fresh fruit. Overall, the hotel offers a blend of positives and negatives to consider.

The hotel is situated in a convenient location that allows easy access to the city. The rooms are adequate but nothing special, with a few issues like mold forming on the ceiling. The service was friendly and accommodating, offering assistance with room changes and providing amenities like an iron and fan. The dining experience was pleasant, although slightly rushed, with a good breakfast option available. The hotel is good value for money for an overnight stay in London.

The hotel's location is lovely, overlooking a small park in a quiet area, but the breakfast setup can be hectic with everyone trying to eat in a small room simultaneously. The service, though friendly, lacked consistency with some staff not adhering to safety measures. Despite the hotel's charm and good location, the limited dining hours and room constraints may affect the overall experience.

The hotel is located in a convenient central area, close to major stations and within walking distance to King's Cross St Pancras. The staff is very helpful, kind, and quick to respond, making the stay enjoyable. However, the dining hours are limited, and the room size may not be ideal for couples.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms, although small for three people, were extremely clean, quiet, and private. However, the heat from the pipes under the floor made the room a bit hot, and the creaking floorboards were noticeable when other guests walked around. The service was excellent with friendly staff, comfortable beds, and an excellent breakfast, though the limited space made it a bit chaotic. The location was wonderful, centrally located in London with easy access to transportation and nearby amenities. The dining experience was enjoyable overall, but the layout could be more appetizing for a continental breakfast.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and nicely decorated, but I did notice bits of mould forming on the ceiling. The location was fantastic, being in a quiet place in central London, near three tube stops and within walking distance of main train stations. The service was a bit hit or miss; while the staff were mostly kind and well-meaning, some were very uninterested and unhelpful. The dining was a bit rushed, but the service was speedy and the food tasty on the first morning. Overall, a decent stay with some areas for improvement.

The hotel has a lovely and clean room with everything needed for a comfortable stay, but it can be a bit chilly being in the basement. The service is fabulous, although there were noise issues with loud parties. Its location is convenient for exploring the city with several nearby tube stations. The dining experience was good but a bit busy, and there were delays in service.
