Basic room does what it says on the tin. Staff were helpful especially as I was on the top floor they offered to take my case up for me. Tea and coffee refilled daily. Overall I'd stay again. It was exactly what I needed for a no frills stay.
Minor downsides:
The walls are thin - I could hear everything from the other two rooms on the floor and with being adjoined to the bathroom everything in there too. It wasn't unexpected and can't be helped but worth bearing in mind if you're a light sleeper. Not the hotel's fault however that the people who were in the two rooms next to me had a very good night out in London and came back a little rowdy :D
Thing to note - The windows don't have safety locks on. While it was fine for me as a solo sensible traveller, it's something that may be of concern to others. I personally though it was an upside as I could get lots of fresh air in.
Plug sockets - The room only seemed to have two sockets in total accessible. As it was a small room the wires on my laptop did reach from the plug to the bed but with one socket taken up by the kettle, it was a minor inconvenience.
Light - The room would really have benefitted from a lamp - Turning the lights out was dead easy due to the additional light switch near the bed, however it was then too dark to continue reading or similar in bed without the main light on.
No hairdryer - I take one with me anyway so again not an issue for me but I know most hotels do have one of these stashed in the rooms. It may be they have some at reception but I didn't ask as I do have my own.
Water -This was my biggest downside. The water in the room wasn't very warm. I actually boiled the kettle to wash my face to get decently warm water.
The Upsides:
Value for money - Nice cheap and cheerful for a short stay in London.
Location - Perfect for a late night arriving traveller - less than 5 minutes walk from St Pancras station.
Small but functional shared bathroom with complimentary shower gel, shampoo, conditioner - Very useable and the shower had great water pressure as well as great temperature control.
The staff - Very accommodating and helpful.
The complimentary amenities - The products supplied in the bathroom were great. Good quality products. Also enjoyed being able to make a cup of tea in my room without hassle.
Two towels! - As a solo traveller I'm so used to having one single towel in a room. Having two towels as standard was perfect! I also appreciated the additional bath maths in the bathroom so it could be swapped between guests without hassle.
