If you want t be near St. Pancras for travel this is great. The room was small but so was the price. If you have trouble with stairs note there is at least one steep flight, maybe 2-3 depending on what room you get (higher numbers are higher floors). The room, halls and shared bathrooms were very clean, well kept. There were no kitchenette facilities or common areas but I didn't need them. The host wasn't around but didn't need to be. His standard instructions were all I needed. When I had a dumb question, nice people in the Tandoori restaurant on the ground floor helped me. All in all I'd use it again when I need a simple place to crash for a couple days while in transit--it definitely beats other places, including inexpensive hotels where I've stayed in that neighborhood.
