Guest Reviews
- Sharon (8/5): - Brilliant terrace space and views which more than made up for the smaller bedroom space.
- Dorin Grecu (7/5): - The rooms were large and clean. Staff was friendly, but spoke mostly Spanish. The hotel is actually a normal English house, very nice, well maintained, but nothing was done to it to convert it into a hotel. You basically share someone s house. If you're ok with that, it will be a nice stay, as the house is great.
- Enrico (7/5): - Room smaller than expected (based on photos)
- Chris (10/5): Excellent room - Room was superb. Location great Nothing
- Merel (5/5): Construction works indoors - Great location Construction works going on in the building all day, also in weekends without any notice
- Tom (9/5): -
- Lauren Andrews (10/5): Comfy bed, great location, very happy! - Excellent location, 10min walk to Kings Cross St Pancras. It's a remotely managed property, access is via code and then key. The property is located in a quiet square.
The check in process was very easy with the key in a lockbox. My room was on the 2nd floor (bear this in mind if you have heavy cases) and was very cosy and well decorated. The en suite bathroom was small but functional. It took me a minute to work out the shower controls but once I got it going it was great, though the waterfall shower head had a pitiful flow, the standard showerhead was great.
The bed was incredibly comfortable, if I didn't have an early train to catch I could have had a lovely long sleep.
The checkout process was easy (leaving the key in a Dropbox).
I would happily stay here again if I needed to catch an early train. Nothing!
- Zak (1/5): No key to get in. I had to book another hotel with no response or compensation. - I was delayed, arriving in the late evening only to find there was no key in the lockbox. I was unable to access the property there was no response on the provided phone number or to messages on booking.com. In the end, I gave up and had to book another place to stay.
In the following days I recieved no acknowledgement of my calls ormessages and had no response to my request for a refund.
- Cinta (9/5): -
- Angelina (9/5): -
- doug (9/5): Quiet rooms in a area with plenty restaurants nearby - Great location
Good facilities
Fantastic room space beautiful decorations
Very good value Nothing
- sarah (5/5): Never again - Friendly staff Noisy with trains , bathroom tiny and could barely wash face over the sink as it was microscopic , the house was in disarray with Laundry and cleaning items everywhere -not what I expected and not to be repeated. If I didn’t arrive so late i would have booked another place to sleep
- lucieinthesky (10/5): Elegant, peaceful & comfortable stay close to all transport and the lovely Exmouth Market - The quiet square. The beautifully furnished room with huge windows and high ceilings
The tea/coffee provisions in the room and downstairs. Ease of checking in. Value for money. All was perfect.
- SIJING (9/5): -
- endicott (8/5): -
- Michael (8/5): Nice house in a good location - Great place to stay, real clean and a cool system they use for check in and check out. I didn't rate staff excellent because I didn't actually interact with anyone really! Just messaged the owner I assume, and they provided instructions. The heat in the common areas was kept blisteringly hot for some reason, and unbearable to stay in, including the washroom and hallways. I did not visit the common kitchen area.
Beware! If you are coming to the location with a large rolling luggage bag, you are in for stairs one way, and a somewhat uphill battle getting to this location the other. If you are able bodied and did not skip leg day you are good to go.
- Jenny (8/5): This is a very convenient, clean and comfortable place to stay with great facilities. - The kitchen facilities and communal sitting area were excellent and very useful. The location was also pretty and very convenient. The shower and toilet rooms were very small, but they were still well thought out. You can hear the rail track nearby, but to be honest it was easy to ignore - and we didn’t hear it at all during the nights
- Borna (10/5): - Amazing house, very cozy room, everything was great. The bed was so comfotable. Easy check-in, quick responses from the host. They let us leave our luggage before check in time and also leave the luggage after Checkout which was very helpful.
Even though its a shared house with 7 rooms you still get your privacy. The terrace was also a great addition.
The shared kitchen is equipped with everything one may need. The room had a water heater and coffee and tea which was perfect.
The location is very good and the connections with public transport is great.
All in all, great value for money The bathroom did have a slightly stale smell as the other reviews said.
I think its normal since its a quite small bathroom and doesnt have a window, and it is really nothing to worry about.
- Nighot (1/5): Its nice location but can get better properties around. Train stayion is very near and you can hear noise for all night - The location was fantastic. It took multiple co-ordination and had issues with key. Then the room which was given wasn’t according to shared description.
- Sue (9/5): -
- Robert (4/5): - The pictures looked so much nicer than the actual room.
- Elzbieta (10/5): Jestem bardzo zadowolona i polecam osobom, które cenią dobry gust, wygodę i spokój - Bardzo ładnie urządzony pokój, gustowny wystrój, obszerny i jasny nic
- julia (10/5): A beautiful property, lovely decor and great facilities -
- Flore (9/5): bon rapport qualité prix - la chambre tres cosy, proche de la gare King Cross, quartier avec des bars et restaurants, proche transports. la vue de la chambre dans laquelle j'etais, qui ressemblait à une dechetterie et le fait de ne pas pouvoir ouvrir la fenetre pour aerer
- Shinji (7/5): -
- LEJARDI ARRIZABALAGA (9/5): - Todo genial Está un poco alejado pero tampoco mucho
- Tsvetan (10/5): -
- Janeen (9/5): - Lovely biscuits in the room, and provisions for tea and coffee.
Decor very elegant and interesting.
House in the nook of a pretty square. The shower
- samuel (9/5): -
- Nina (9/5): - Schönes Zimmer, Sauber, Schöne Gemeinschaftsräume
- Ķlaudia (8/5): - Lovely room. Very cozy. I didnt realise it's a shared bathroom. The floor is squeaking when someone is walking around the house.
- Jo (9/5): Characterful, comfortable room with a homely in a pleasant but super convenient location. - Great to stay in a room that had character and a homely feel. So much nicer an experience than a generic hotel room, with hotel fixtures and fittings. The bathroom sink needed some attention - it didn’t drain that quickly.
- paul (10/5): Excellent - Immaculate throughout. Room was amazingly comfortable, clean and warm
- Adéla (9/5): -
- Alvarez (7/5): - Very quiet location. Very clean and really liked that there was a kitchen and sitting room. The lighting in the room could be better.
- Angelika (6/5): - Das Zimmer war sehr schön eingerichtet. Zu wenige Steckdosen und freilich nicht mit EU-Steckern. Das Haus liegt in einem Wohnviertel, was ich nicht erwartet habe. Und man muss doch sehr weit laufen bis man dort hinkommt oder mit dem Taxi, was teuer ist. Den Vermieter habe ich nicht angetroffen, obwohl ich eine Frage hatte. Und man musste die Schuhe komplett ausziehen, was für mich mit Fersensporn nicht gut machbar war (Treppe mit Koffer hochtragen usw.). Der Ton, die Gäste einzuladen, die Schuhe auszuziehen hat für mich auch nicht gepasst.
- Michael (8/5): -
- Toots (7/5): -
- Stefan (8/5): - Kleines gemütliches Zimmer. WC Dusche okay. Habe Infos frühzeitig erhalten bezüglich Check In usw Ich habe unterschätzt, dass die Wohnung nicht in der Nähe von der UBahn ist. Min 15 Min Laufweg. Bushaltestelle jedoch 5 Min entfernt.
- Paolucci (8/5): -
- Aurelia (7/5): - Propre et confortable
Proche de la gare et des commerces La chambre n était pas prête lors de notre arrivée vers 15h30
- Terry (9/5): Clean and homely - Clean & homely despite being made of individual rooms. The kitchen and lounge areas felt relaxing The bathroom sink area was tiny in the Rooms 2&3 shared bathroom.
- David (10/5): -
- Chrissie (8/5): - Great location. Nice and clean. Nil
- Wouter (10/5): -
- James (5/5): -
- Megan (9/5): -
- Wayne (9/5): -
- maartje (7/5): - friendly staff, good bed it is beside the underground
- Alexis (8/5): - The house was very nice. Room was a decent size and was nicely furnished.
Lots of fruit provided in the kitchen, which was a nice touch. The room lighting was a bit dim.
The tv aerial wire had come out of the wall fitting so could only watch iPlayer etc.
- Mira (9/5): A home away from home - I have stayed here a couple of times before and absolutely love this place- it’s a house that has been converted to “hotel” but has kept all the home home features and feel to it. The house is a typical town house, high ceilings and specious rooms. I stayed in the room on the ground floor which is slightly smaller than those on the upper floors but still very big. It has a huge window which opens and a comfy bed and the decoration is fantastic. The house also has a huge living room, kitchen/ dining room and a lively hidden courtyard. It would have been nice if there was a TV in the room.
- Ola (10/5): Home from home - Peaceful location, great value, clean, home from home. shower and toilet were on the small size - larger people might struggle but personally it was no issue for me.
- Søren (8/5): - Charmerende kvarter og værelse øverst med stor hyggelig terrasse. Stort køkken, spisestue og udgang til have i basement. Lugtfriskeren i badeværelset.
- Nicholas (9/5): -
- Callum (7/5): - Great location with easy and clear check in. Buzzer presumably from front door was being rung throughout the night which woke me up multiple times; if there is no staff on site it would be better to disable the buzzer.
- Aine (8/5): - Location, self-catering facilities, availability of breakfast/snacks/tea/coffee, comfort
- Daiga (10/5): Nice, cosy room. Very good location. Responsive hosts. Thank you! - Nice, cosy room. Very good location. Responsive hosts. Thank you!
- Peter (9/5): A great spot to stay - Lovely house
- Hennamamma (8/5): Hieno sijainti - Kaunis ja siisti huone ja rauhallinen alue ja näkymä puistoon Outo melu, kuin junan jyske, häiritsi unta läpi yön. Huoneessa oli liikaa kalusteita.
- STEPHANY (10/5): Great location, staff and room. - Everything was excellent: a great location, helpful and kind staff, and clean rooms and toilets.
- Zuzana (10/5): -
- Anonym (10/5): -
- Joseph (7/5): -
- Noemie (8/5): Très bon séjour - Chambre petite mais confortable et très propre. Cuisine et salle de bains partagées également propres et bien équipées. Céréales, fruits et cafés pour le petit déjeuner. Un quartier calme et bien relié au centre.
- Nad (8/5): -
- OLIVIER (10/5): Confortable et absolument incroyable. - - Proche de la gare
- Ultra confortable
- Facile d'accès
- Entretien impeccable
- Communication Loin des transports (10 min de marche)
- Tom (8/5): -
- Dora (10/5): -
- Duncan (6/5): adequate , good value for money but a bit rough - host met me on time friendly helpful and good location bit tired noisy and grubby
- Susan (10/5): - Great budget option for London! The place was quiet & cozy and the breakfast was a perfect addition.
- Janine (10/5): -
- Annie (8/5): Goed verblijf voor paar dagen Londen - Goede kamer, met kleine badkamer. Ik had geen geschikte verloopstekken bij me, de eigenaar loste dit direct op.
- Murali (3/5): It was Okay. But for a vacation that would have been better. - The bed and sheets were not clean. A bit more space for the price we payed
- JOLINE (9/5): -
- Denys (9/5): - Lovely place at perfect English street. Bus stops not far away can easily reach any destination
- Ben (10/5): -
- Christin (10/5): Tolles ruhiges Gästehaus in guter zentraler Lage zu King’s Cross - Unser Zimmer sah genau so aus wie auf dem Photo. Total gemütlich und schick. Das Zimmer (Nr. 4) war schön groß.
Die gemeinsamen Räumlichkeiten im Kellergeschoss waren ebenfalls sehr toll eingerichtet. Es gab eine voll ausgestattete große Küche. Obst, Müsli, Kaffee/Tee stand immer zur Verfügung. Außerdem gab es einen großen Aufenthaltsraum mit Esstisch, Couch und Fernseher. Zusätzlich noch Zugang zu einer sehr schönen Terrasse.
Die Lage war super. Zentral aber dennoch ruhig eingebettet in ein kleines Parkähnliches Viertel. Zu Fuß 10 Minuten zum Bahnhof King’s Cross. Auch direkte Busverbindung nur wenige Meter entfernt.
- Jason (8/5): Very good value- fine for one night. - Room7 has a great roof terrace with tall ceiling. Its a quiet even with having to have the door open due to heat. The price is good for the area . Is milk , cereal and fruit available It was a 15 walk from St. Pancras with suitcase for 7:30am Eurostar. Not ideal. The owners were not contactable to answer questions despite contact info.TV was puzzling with a stick on the wall aerial and a bizarre set-up. Only wanted the news so not a big issue. Room was too small for more than one night. Not sure why there was 3 hairdryers. Room hadn’t been prepared properly for next guest. Fan too loud.
- Omar (7/5): - Le logement est bien situé, près de St Pancréas.
C’est calme .
L’accès au logement est pratique avec ses boites aux lettres cadenas.
La chambre est correcte.
J’ai aimé le variateur d’intensité de lumière de la pièce.
L’accès à la cuisine est sympa. L’odeur qui émane de la salle de bain/toilette est horrible malgré les aérosols.
Je n’ai pas réussi à allumer les lampes de chevet.
La tv ne fonctionne pas.
- Chiming (10/5): -
- Brian (5/5): Disappointing - The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The communal kitchen and lounge were good. There were tea, coffee, breakfast cereals and milk available for guests. The bedroom is small – there was no room for a wardrobe, just a chest of drawers. The bathroom was very small, about 3ft x 6ft, and had a musty smell. In the evening we wanted to watch TV in the lounge. All we got was a “snowy” picture. We tried to watch TV in the bedroom, but we could not find a remote anywhere. The outside lights on the terrace didn’t work. The building backs onto a subway line, which may not suit everybody.
We only stayed one night, so it was manageable. I would not have wanted to stay here any longer.
- Аnastasiia (10/5): Відмінна якість за невелику ціну - Абсолютно все
- Elisa (9/5): - Good location, quite, clean and easy to access to.
- Thomai (9/5): -
- Frank (1/5): Einfach enttäuscht.. - Hab auf mehrere Anfragen keine Rechnung erhalten. Da ich auf einer Dienstreise war, geht es leider nicht ohne!
Sry, aber dass ist ganz schlechter Service, egal wie der Rest ist!!
- Lorraine (7/5): Good -
- Nicola (8/5): Very good -
- Joe (8/5): Very good -
- Konstantinos_terzakis (10/5): Awesome house, great location - Exceptional property, wonderful touches.
- Beatriz (6/5): It was ok to spend a couple of nights. - Good & convenient location. Beautiful house and room. A few snacks and breakfast items are offered which is definitely a nice gesture. Really nice common areas (I can imagine it would work really well for a family). I spent a couple of nights here and only came to the room to sleep, but there were a few points that affected the stay/comfort. There were a lot of points to improve when it comes to cleaning (attached are pictures of how I found the room/towels on arrival), which led to some discomfort. There’s no one at the house (other than other guests) and there was no checking in during the stay so it’s not really possible to pass this feedback on to them.
- Clare (9/5): Superb -
- Kartika (9/5): Good stay - I stayed there for one night for a business trip. Everything was fine. The room was big enough for one person. There was a terrace attached to the room. The toilet was a bit small but since I only stayed for a night, it was fine.
- Václav (7/5): Good - I forgot some belongings in the room after departure. For 3 days I couldn’t get in touch with the owner nor anyone who could help me.
- Owain (10/5): Exceptional -
- Joachim (8/5): Very good -
- Sue (7/5): Nice area and good facilities - Nice area, good facilities and a treat to have the balcony. The bathroom didn't seem to have any extractor fan, ventilating fresh air - but didn't spend long in there.
- Rhona (9/5): Superb -
- Peppy (9/5): Lovely room slightly off the beaten path - A true joy to stay here! A lovely room on a quiet residential square. I would have loved to tell the owner in person what a great job they did with this place.
- Mahal (9/5): Superb - I stayed there with my daughter for 3 nights. Easy access to the bus stop going to King's cross The bed was comfortable. We got the room with its own toilet and shower.
There is no elevator since it is a resident house, but you will have enough privacy. And you need to take your shoes off before going to your allotted room .
- Arkadiusz (9/5): Superb - Nice location , family house with all you need to stay, big kitchen and living room
