Opt for a Room with Private Bathroom

Some guests found the shared bathrooms to be small and occasionally had issues with cleanliness, so if this is a concern, consider booking a room with a private bathroom.

Consider Noise Levels

Several guests mentioned noise from other rooms and nearby construction, so light sleepers may want to bring earplugs or request a room away from potential sources of noise.

Take Advantage of the Location

The hotel's proximity to King's Cross and St. Pancras stations makes it a convenient base for exploring London and accessing transportation options.

Be Mindful of Stairs

The hotel does not have an elevator, so guests with mobility concerns or heavy luggage may want to request a room on a lower floor.

Bring Your Own Toiletries

A few guests mentioned that the provided toiletries were limited, so it may be helpful to bring your own if you have specific preferences.

Consider Room Temperature

Some guests experienced discomfort due to the lack of air conditioning, so consider this if you are sensitive to room temperature.

Request Extra Pillows

A few guests noted that their rooms had limited pillows, so if you prefer multiple pillows, it may be helpful to request them in advance.

Check for Room Upgrades

While the hotel offers budget-friendly options, some guests found the basic rooms to be small and dated, so consider inquiring about any available room upgrades for a more comfortable stay.

Plan for Early Check-in or Late Check-out

The hotel's flexible check-in and check-out times can be convenient, especially for travelers with specific arrival or departure schedules.
