“This hotel places you steps from King's Cross and offers clean, basic rooms; I think the inclusion of daily housekeeping and in-room tea and coffee adds real value. It's a budget-friendly choice that doesn't skimp on location or convenience, also group bookings are accepted, I have to mention that. For Eurostar travelers or those eager to explore central London, this is a practical base.”
