Guest Reviews

Stephanie 9.0

Lovely stay with super helpful staff

David 8.0

Stayed in a clean, well appointed apartment with living area, kitchen & bedroom. Lovely setting & good location, a short walk from Kings Cross

Alex 8.0

I only booked for one night before leaving for an early train. It was great to be so close to the train station and that the checkout was possible early in the morning. The dining hall looked like a good option and I wish I'd had time to make use of it. The room was nice and comfortable, except for the doors.

Fukuda 9.0

The reception was open 24 hours and the staff were kind, friendly and very helpful. Great location - 10-15 minutes walk from the Kings Cross station and 15-20 munites walk to the British Museum. A hair dryer was provided upon request at the reception, and the fridge in the room was relatively big compared to other hotels of the same price range. The shared kitchen on my floor did have two kettles but did not have any cutlery, plates or cups - but I had brought my cutlery and went to a nearby shop to buy a cheap mug after checking-in, so the issue was resolved. The entire premises incl. garden and library were beautiful.

Parth 8.0

Overall, everything was pretty good. Room was clean, location is good.

Francesco 8.0

The room had everything and was large and comfortable. It’s a student accommodation used as a hotel in the summer, so it had a table to study and a nice view of the courtyard. It also had a small sink so I didn’t have to go to the bathroom at the end of the corridor for the most basic things. Also the bed is comfortable enough.

Yuriy 10.0

Nice accomodation for a great price in central London. They've got 2 buildings, and your room can be in either, so not easy to find at first. Rooms are simple, but clean and have everything you need - even a fridge! Bed's rather comfortable

Amazing, ornate building with very well maintained facilities. The courtyard is beautiful. Beautiful refectory where guests can purchase meals. Good, quiet location near Russell Square underground, supermarkets and cafes. Lovely room with private facilities. Security was excellent and someone was always available at the reception desk. I would stay here again.
