This was the smallest room I have ever stayed in. Pictures were very misleading. Very noisy— I had a sound machine with me so that helped. Overall seemed fairly clean, and location was good, but be aware the rooms are tiny and you can hear everything.

This place is awful, just awful. Our expectations were pretty low to begin with after reading reviews, $1000 for 3 nights. SO dirty, SO hot, SO INCREDIBLY tiny, broken sink, crooked toilet, smells, exhaust from next door restaurant floating in, so loud…the only good thing was the staff gentleman was kind. RUN away from this place.

The best part about this was the price and the location. We got more than what we paid for - a pretty decent private room, comfortable enough bed, more than workable bathroom. Would recommend for a semi-budget option.

This place is essentially a hole underground—albeit in a very convenient location. The towels are clean, and the person who welcomes you is genuinely friendly. But beyond that, it’s still a hole. You’ll either find yourself in a cellar room next to the garbage bins, with a lovely view of strangers’ feet walking past, or squeezed into a room so narrow you can touch both walls at once by stretching your arms. Sound and smell isolation? Nonexistent. If the local youth are smoking weed on the stairs, you’ll enjoy it too—like it or not. When someone grabs a kebab from the night shop next door, you could practically join their conversation from your bed. And just when you think it can’t get better, the metro trains passing underneath don’t just make themselves heard—they’re felt. And they are frequent. If you only need a central location and a roof over your head, this place delivers. If you’re hoping for actual sleep… best look elsewhere.

Kings Cross base

Good location base. Original room a bit of a small layout but we were luckily offered another choice of room available which we took. Staff friendly and very helpful. Communal areas need refurbishing as heavy use. Busy area so if on lower levels can hear outside but have to expect this in a city. Lots of places to eat nearby.

Everything was perfectly fine. I stayed for 3 nights and no one ever came to clean or straighten my room, replace towels, etc., but otherwise, everything was OK. The staff at the front desk were particularly nice.

This is a great place to stay. It is in a neighborhood with lots of eating options. There is also a a grocery store and laundromat near by. Everyone was really friendly in the neighborhood. Only a 12 minute walk to the train station and easy access to the metro. Highly recommend!

Poor condition

The carpet was too dusty and untidy. It is very bad room for this price , but found great hotel in two minutes walk distance at perfect condition at the similar price. Felt unfortunate that I saw the good hotel nearby only after vacating from Leigh and at the end of my trip. The toilet wash basin was broken and looks filthy. Even there is no phone available to contact the reception,.had to come down to reception if we have any questions and couldn't even find the receptionist there when I went to give my key back.

The room was very small , not big enough for 1 person let alone 2 people, room view was non existent , window looked out onto a black wall and a load of pigeons, which kept me awake for most of the few nights that i had stayed there.There had been a small fire in the hotel kitchen on the morning of my first stay so on checking in there was a smell of what smelled like burnt plastic .

As I entered room 4 next to reception, the pungent smell of air freshener/shake and Vax hits you. The heat was on maximum on the radiator. I had to air out the room whilst I went out. I moved the cheap gel air fresheners in to the bathroom to help mute the smell. Shower cubicle leaked so the floor next to the toilet got wet. Sealent around fixtures needs removing and resealing. The dust on top of the wardrobe was thick as well as the ledge above the bathroom. Bed was firm but comfortable
