Great Location and Friendly Service
convenient check-infriendly staffexcellent locationquiet street
The hotel had a very convenient 24-hour check-in service with friendly staff working overnight. The location was also excellent. It only took a few minutes to walk to St Pancras International. The street was very pretty and surprisingly quiet and the hotel look very smart. I found it super well organized, and very suitable for short overnight stay.
The pillows provided were too soft for my personal taste, but that is a very minor issue.

small roompaper walls
The room size was a joke. I reminded me of i was in a glorified closet. and the noise levels were something else. Seemed like the walls were made of paper. every little sound from the hallway and neighboring rooms kept me up all night. also, the breakfast area was perpetually crowded. Finding a spot reminded me of competing in the hunger games.
