The hotel's location in Bloomsbury is fantastic, close to transportation hubs and amenities. The rooms, though small, are typical for the price range but accessible through a challenging staircase. The service is friendly but lacks assistance with taxi bookings. The dining experience is generally positive, with some minor issues. The hotel's facilities are decent, and the value for money is reasonable.

The hotel had everything I needed in its rooms, but the underground rumble could be heard until midnight. It was a bit of a climb to the top floor, not ideal for mobility-impaired guests. The service was extremely helpful, and they efficiently accommodated my wife's allergies. The location was perfect for sightseeing near King's Cross, but the dining experience required self-service for everything. Overall, a good value for money stay.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room I stayed in, which was Room 33, had both its ups and downs. Although the mattress was very soft and the built-in bed squeaked a bit, the room itself was tiny with just a single bed. Despite some minor inconveniences like the remote volume not working, it was immaculately clean. I found it to be adequate and possibly larger than other typical small hotels in London. The ensuite shower room was a highlight, boasting a good shower, making the small size forgivable given the fair price for this part of London.

The location of the hotel was very convenient, being close to St Pancras Station while still offering a quiet atmosphere. It was easy to reach major sightseeing areas, and the surrounding suburbs added to the experience. Shops and the train station were nearby, making it exceptional for exploring the neighborhood. Additionally, being just a few minutes from Kings Cross and with ample nearby attractions made it a great choice.

The dining options at the hotel were varied, with some areas being basic while others were truly great. Overall, there was plenty of choice and the central location close to the train station was a definite plus. The grilled fish was a standout dish.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is superb, close to Kings Cross St Pancras and Russell Square tube station, and facing a lovely park, making it great for exploring Bloomsbury. However, the room was a bit of a challenge to reach with a heavy suitcase due to the scary staircase. The staff were friendly but not as accommodating as I would have liked, and there were uncertainties about specific dietary needs for breakfast. The dining options were fantastic with a variety of choices, except for the disappointing coffee. Overall, the stay was enjoyable but had some drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was wonderful! The room was lovely and clean, overlooking the beautiful leafy square. It was a bit small, but suited me just fine, with a view of the park. The room was a bit overheated when I arrived, and being close to the underground made me a tad uncomfortable, but it wasn't too noisy, thankfully.

The location was perfect for exploring more of the north of London. It was close to Kings Cross, surrounded by pubs and restaurants, and just a short walk to Covent Garden. The hotel is situated in a leafy street, across from a public tennis court, providing a surprisingly quiet environment despite the nearby pub.
