    "I will be unlikely to stay again as hotel was expensive. I have stayed in hotels in London for less money which are much nicer." (97410349)

    Very friendly staff.

    Although room was clean, the decor was appauling and was well overdue for redecoration. The plug socket for the tv wasn't wired correctly, causing an electric buzzing sound when plugging things in.

    "Not a pleasant experience" (97566320)

    Convenient for St Pancras and Euston which is useful for us

    Room was extremely hot and could only be reasonably cool with fan which couldn't be left on all night because of the noise. As we were leaving early for the Eurostar and couldn't take the inclusive breakfast we asked for a "take-out". They offered us some fruit, which was kind, but the quality meant we couldn't eat the fruit - it was of such a bad quality. Very small room. Unable to get cold water for drinking from the tap - water was either hot or tepid.

    Liked the fact there was free wifi, certainly an unexpected surprise. Location was perfect and a life saver at such short notice.

    "good - except for the one night that the hotel had rented to about 12 25 year olds who kept the entire floor awake all night with their drinking and noise. Even a call to the desk as well as going over there did not help. The hotel corrected the problem for the next night." (97339492)

    great breakfast and very pleasant breakfast room; cooperative and friendly staff, nice view, comfortable bed, great location (near the British Museum and across the street from the British Library, as well as very close to the tube

    extremely small room - fortunately we had stored our two large pieces of luggage, or we would never have had enough space, a bit claustrophobic, there was not enough space for two people to walk past the bed at the same time

    Staff very helpful- exhibition equipment had not arrived from carrier company to the hotel. staff tried to help me to sort the problem and kept me well updated with news

    Room was very small between bed and desk. Luckily I was on my own but it would have been far too small if with my partner.

    easy to find and well situated for eating out in the evening bed comfortable hairdryer in room friendly staff

    I was on the 3rd floor and it was unbearably hot. There was a fan but in a small room you do not always want the noise of a fan. If I stayed again I would not want a 3rd floor room The bathroom was not clean enough and the basin plughole was disgusting.

    "Apart from the comments on the size of room, shower and heat in the room it was an enjoyable stay. As mentioned, the staff were very good and the breakfast meals very well prepared. The reason for selecting No in the next question is based purely on the room, everything else was fine" (108035373)

    Staff extremely polite and helpful. Breakfast meal very good. Very near to main rail/tube stations

    Room too small for use as a double room. Lack of air-conditioning (room very hot, fortunately there was a desk fan) Shower very small when you are 6' tall! Decoration looked a bit tired.

    from Saltburn by sea , GB on  June 27, 2008

    friendly staff.

    The room was supposed to be a double. The bed was a three quarter size..just slightly bigger than a single..no good for 2 normal sized adults! The room was really a single room. The shower was too small. It was a shoddy, scruffy room. The bathroom had mould on the tiles. It just didnt feel clean at all and we spent as little time as possible in the room.

    Nicely positioned, not too noisy. Breakfast room nice and light

    Very creaky floorboards, bathroom needs renovation (broken drain cover, limescaled shower head, shower head posistioned rather low), room rather small, bedspread a little dirty and hair on the pillow. Carpets need a thorough clean. Burnt out hairdryer not really a good look. Silver net curtains can tend to look dirty rather than silver so better off sticking to white and cleaning regularly

    "For this location it was a good price, so you can't expect great amenities." (97398197)

    The location was great, the staff were lovely.

    The shower was far too small and a bit manky, the shower curtain filthy and the bathroom fan did not work. Very, very hot - thankfully the window opened and there was a fan, but in order to be comfortable enough to sleep the window had to be left open all night and this meant traffic noise woke me at 6am.

    I stayed as a single and thought the price of the room, £95, excessive as it was more of a single than the double it was defined as!

    "We were disappointed with the condition of the hotel but the staff were very friendly and helpful." (97218138)

    The receptionist was friendly and helpful and had a good local knowledge. The dining room was small but clean. The breakfast was of fair quality and quantity.

    Generally the room was very cramped. The bathroom was extremely small and outdated. The shower itself was very small in terms of area and the showerhead could not be angled in any way. Due to these points, water easily flowed outside of the shower and onto the bathroom floor. In addition the bathroom had a damp and unpleasant smell.

    It had none, apart from being close to St Pancreas Station

    It was in very poor condition, dirty, unsafe and badly needing repair. The bed was extremely small as was the room - hardly a double. I can't imagine how it maintains a 3 star rating. It would barely deserve 1 star. We were also told that we could get an early (7.00am) breakfast, but when we went to the breakfast room, we were told there was no breakfast until 7.30am - too late for us.

    "The people at the front desk were friendly and helpful for the most part. However, there were several issues pertaining to theroom phone. The weekend staff did not know there is a difference in the first three digits of a UK number when calling from within the country vs outside. I tried to call my niece in Birmingham and could not reach her. I only found out the problem when I asked a ticket agent at Euston station for assistance. Front desk should have been aware of this. A few days later I was told the phones were not working properly and missed a call in my room from a relative when I stepped out to use a public phone. Overall, the hotel was comfortable and staff friendly. Since there are many hotels in this area I would look to try another." (97957703)

    The breakfast room was neat and tidy; nice selection of food included in the full breakfast with room. The location of the hotel is fantastic with close proximity to rail and bus lines.

    the room was small but that is to be expected in the UK. It was comfortable and tidy. The bathroom could have been cleaner, particularly the shower curtain.
