This place is great, very homely and the building itself is lovely, definitely old but huge and a nice design. spacious and the rooms are large. Everyone is so lovely here and they have events and free dinners every few nights, take you out as a group some nights too. The TV room is nice and the kitchen is decently sized! I would definitely come back here. There was just something about it! The location is also perfect, close to shops, restaurants, bus and trains. Loved my time here, was sad to leave!

Its an original old town house although converted. In a super local for easy travel around the city. Whether on foot, bus or train. We loved the atmosphere and friendly staff. Comfortable rooms and very well equipped kitchen. Free breakfast- cereal, muesli and toast. Excellent for the price you pay.. Three free evening meals provided and different entertainment a few nights a week..

Quiet area away from the bars at night. Very close to Kings Cross station which is great and easy to walk around. Room was a good size and came with everything you need, fridge, safe, cups, plates etc. Was pretty quiet inside at night, had a private room which was good.
