I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The room was quiet and spacious, perfect for relaxing after a busy day. The staff were friendly and helpful, making my visit even more pleasant. The location was very convenient, right across from Euston station. However, the dining experience was a bit pricey, and I was surprised by the unexpected security deposit.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative experiences. The location is incredibly convenient for reaching attractions and transportation hubs, with excellent food options nearby. However, the rooms had some issues with noise and odors, and the dining was a bit pricey compared to other local options.
Rooms

The room I stayed in had a nice size and offered an excellent view. Unfortunately, there were issues with noise from children running around late at night and lingering body odors from previous occupants, making it less than ideal for a comfortable rest.

The hotel's small but efficient rooms were very clean and practical, although the wet room design might not be everyone's favorite. The staff could be confusing and unhelpful with room readiness, but on the bright side, they were friendly and helpful during our stay. The location, while close to Euston Station, might not offer a quiet night's sleep in bustling London. Dining options varied from excellent food selection and quality to limited choices.

The hotel has good facilities and a really comfortable bed, but be prepared as the rooms are tiny and the closet is barely there. The service is great, with the staff always willing to help and accommodating. The location is excellent, next door to Euston station, making it ideal for those exploring Central London. The dining experience was very good with a mix of options, although it could be quite costly. Overall, a convenient and welcoming place to stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room, though very clean, was tiny and felt more like a single room rather than a double. The wet room setup made everything damp, and the Wi-Fi was quite unreliable. On a positive note, the room was well-insulated, and the air conditioning worked efficiently to combat the summer heat. The service lacked warmth and professionalism during check-in and check-out, but some staff members were exceptionally helpful and attentive during my stay. The hotel's location near Euston station and key attractions in London was incredibly convenient. When it came to dining, the quality varied greatly from a fantastic buffet spread to disappointing warm and dry food options. The facilities were decent overall.

The hotel had a great location near Euston and King's Cross/St Pancras stations, with a leafy atmosphere and multiple metro stations nearby. The rooms, although containing necessary amenities, were quite small and lacked space. The service was generally helpful, although there were occasional challenges with a language barrier and indifferent behavior. The dining options were decent but on the pricey side. The location was convenient for transportation and leisure activities.
Rooms

The room faced a small garden and had essential amenities like tea/coffee facilities and a safe, but it was tiny and lacked space for movement. A handrail for safety would be beneficial.
