Double Room in King's Cross

Positive: Nothing, the accommodation is in an unmaintained block of flats near King Cross Station. Everything is run down and dirty. And that is before to get to the Rooms. Negative: The place is dirty, so much so I couldn't stay there is left and found other accommodation. There is no room to open a suitcase. I sat on the bed it was uncomfortable. The bathroom facilities were dirty.

Great location Positive: Location very good and security good Negative: The electric fan in the room worked but after five minutes started rattling noisily so I had to turn it off to stop the rattling noise. Unfortunately it was very hot night. Need a new fan or better fan please room 2.

Better options available. Positive: Very convenient location for kings cross station. Negative: Rooms in a very rundown apartment block. Communal areas filthy with bags of rubbish. Booked 2 rooms but didn't know they would share bathroom and kitchen with 2 other rooms. Bathroom dated and not as clean as expected. Dirty/ mouldy around shower. Cleaning cloths stuffed into bottom of radiator and left on radiator .Cracked glass on mirror. Double room tiny. Quadruple room has balcony doors with gap at the bottom. 2 light bulbs not working.Piles of towels/ bedding in kitchen under a blanket. Dryer stood in middle of the kitchen. Beds ok but pillows not comfortable. Wouldn't use again. Expensive for poor quality.

Positive: Location

A thoroughly miserable and uncomfortable experience, never to be repeated Positive: In the communal bathroom, only the bath-shower water pressure was satisfying, although the glass splash panel doesn't make a good seal with the bath and water runs freely all over the floor. Walking into the bathroom in bare feet after someone else has used it is hazardous and unpleasant. There is always a centimetre of cold water on the floor, a serious slip and health hazard; mould is growing up the bath's side panel because it sits in the puddle. Negative: The room was small and dingy. The bedding was not clean, nor were the carpet or curtains. The mattress is poorly spring, which makes for a very poor night's sleep - when you sit on the bed, your bottom makes contact with the mattress frame underneath. I only weigh 85kg so this is not a "fat person" problem. The whole place felt neglected. We had booked two nights but we paid out for earlier rail tickets to get us home to Liverpool after the first night, because we couldn't stand the idea of a second night there.
