rail travel warm welcome required info loose socket metal bed frame small shower cubicle

The location is near Kings Cross St Pancras station. This detail makes it accessible for rail travel, including Eurostar arrivals. The room provided contained all facilities as described. I received a warm welcome, alongside the info required both before arrival and upon arrival.

The electrical socket was loose. I found it was not securely attached to the wall. The metal bed frame rattled. I could feel some loose screws. The bathroom was small. I observed that the shower cubicle was barely big enough to stand in.

Fantastic Stay Near King's Cross!

short walk karaoke nights

I found this spot super convenient because it is a short walk from King's Cross. The room had tea and coffee-making facilities. I also liked the friendly staff who were always ready to help. The lively bar downstairs was great.

The room showed a lack of maintenance because the electrical socket was loose. Also the metal bed frame felt shaky and rattled with every movement.

adequate, i guess

dirty shower stale beer smell

My room was supposedly cleaned, but i find hairs in the shower. i think they forgot. and the single-glazed windows are a joke. The noise from outside made sleep difficult. plus, the whole place smelled faintly of stale beer, like the pub downstairs was always lingering.
