Older hotel with easy access to the tube and a short walk to St Pancras Station. Staff was friendly and helpful. Best find was the Fortitude Bakehouse that was less than a block away.

Good basic comfortable clean accommodation, ensuite clean and all working fine. TV & internet ok, bit of a drop out now and then. Tea/coffee minimum, no decaf options (you can ask but request isn't sustained) and no biscuits. Single rooms on 7th floor with no lift so you have to walk up from 6th floor. Restaurant food is basic portioned-up fare and special requests can't be accommodated, better to eat out. Good luggage deposit service. Handy for transport links. Front door isn't fully automated, so accessibility not easy for those with mobility issues, needs a door staff presence.

great location, decent for a good price
we stayed here before about 30 years ago ... there has obviously been a recent renovation ... the location is great the only caveats are we could not adjust the heat in our room and it was like hades when we arrived ... we kept all the windows open the whole stay, even though it wasn't that warm outside ... housekeeping was a bit erratic ... overall, it worked well for us

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I recommend you do not stay at this hotel. The building is under a major renovation, and has been since October we were told. We were not told about the construction noise from 8 to five everyday, and lack of hot water from 10 to 5, until after we paid. There are other hotels in the same area for a similar price. Noise levels of 45 to 65 db due to construction during most of the day. It was not possible to talk to each other in our room during the day, and forget taking a nap. Even after the construction workers left for the day, hotel staff were active in thr halls removing debris from adjacent rooms until late at night. Called a number of times for a different room, which was met with indifference from line staff and supervisors. I could not find any reference to this problem on either the hotel or Expedia's web sites until after looking at the recent negative reviews once we had been there for a day and a night. If we knew then what we would have to endure, we would have canceled our reservation long ago and booked elsewhere. We had booked for 5 nights and were told there are no refunds or discounts.
