For first time travellers to London, this is a great place to stay given it's proximity to King's Cross station. It's also sparkling clean and has all the amenities you'll need for a comfortable stay - we loved having the washing machine to do laundry midway through our trip and the kitchen to cook meals. As the listing says, there is a pretty loud noise from the underground train almost constantly. You get used to it after a while - comes with the territory of staying in a big city!
